Get parent category for product page Opencart
is there a way to get the parent category of a product, in the product page for Opencart? Thanks
Answer
Yes you can. I've tested my code in OpenCart 1.5.1.x
First, you must modify the file /catalog/controller/product/product.php to add after the line 94: $product_info = $this->model_catalog_product->getProduct($product_id);
ADD this:
$categories = $this->model_catalog_product->getCategories($product_info['product_id']);
if ($categories){
$categories_info = $this->model_catalog_category->getCategory($categories[0]['category_id']);
$this->data['category_id'] = $categories_info['category_id'];
}
Then, you can use the variable <?php echo $category_id ?> in your template file (product.tpl).
Hope this help you
