[solved] How to get categoryID in header while in product page

[efr]

Hi,

 

I'm having some problems to get category ID in header.tpl while in product page.

 

Here is the code i put in header.php

 

(inspired from http://www.prestasho...name-in-header/ , thanks to his author)

 

class FrontController extends FrontControllerCore
{
public function displayHeader()
{
 $pathinfo = pathinfo(__FILE__);
 $page_name = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '.'.$pathinfo['extension']);
 $page_name = (preg_match('/^[0-9]/', $page_name)) ? 'page_'.$page_name : $page_name;
 if ($page_name == 'product' AND isset($_GET['id_product']))
  $product = new Product($_GET['id_product'], false, intval(self::$cookie->id_lang));

  if (Validate::isLoadedObject($product))
self::$smarty->assign('id_category_default', $product->id_category_default);
 }
 parent::displayHeader();
}
}

 

and the code in header.tpl

 

{if isset($id_category_default)}{$id_category_default}{else}{l s='Something else'}{/if}

 

Anybody has an idea why it doesn't work ? My prestashop version is 1.4.4.1

 

Thank you very much

Hi, i want to show canonical link in header in header.tpl

 

 <!-- canonical -->

{if $page_name == 'index' or $page_name == 'search'}
 <link rel="canonical" href="{$base_dir}" />
{elseif $page_name == 'category' or $page_name == 'best-sales' or $page_name == 'cart' or $page_name == 'discount' or $page_name == 'manufacturer' or $page_name == 'new-products' or $page_name == 'prices-drop'}
 <link rel="canonical" href="{$base_dir}{$request_uri|substr:1|regex_replace:'/\/(.*)/':''|regex_replace:'/\?(.*)/':''}" />
{else}
  <link rel="canonical" href="{$base_dir}{$product->id_category_default}{$request_uri|substr:1|regex_replace:'/\/(.*)/':''|regex_replace:'/\?(.*)/':''}" />
{/if}

 

 

But {$product->id_category_default} is not accesible from header.tpl

Hello,

 

I need to have the category id also in the header, I would like to change the header logo if the customer visit 1 specific category.

Or is there another way to do this?

 

Please can you explain where to put what code.

I'm using Prestashop 1.6.1.4

 

Thank you very much

Kind regards

Peter
