Display all categories to which product belongs on its product page - with "getProductcategories"

[dramdram]

Hi all of you,

 

I am desperately trying to have all product categories as links displayed on my product page.

It would look as on this page where you can read "Found in: Gadgets & Tools ....."

 

I have found the function "getProductCategories" which should be the right one. The thing is i don't know how to make it work through the product.php, product.tpl and productcontroller.php.

 

I thank you in advance for any help on that topic.

Do not touch product.php or productcontroller.php. The information you require is already passed to product.tpl. You can do something like the following at the location you want output displayed in product.tpl:

 

<p>This product appears in:
{foreach $categories as $category}
	 <a href="{$category['link_rewrite']}">{$category['name']}</a>{if !$category@last} |{/if}	
{/foreach}</p>

Thank you for your help.

 

But it unfortunately crashes ...

 

Are you sure it is not the getproductcategories variables which needs to be called in the tpl ?

[phrasespot]

Are you sure

Yes I am, but I assumed you are using the latest version. If you are using an earlier version that may matter.

getproductcategories

is a class method and has no business in a tpl file Edited May 5, 2012 by phrasespot (see edit history)

Ok, I am using version PrestaShop™ 1.4.7.

 

I may have a solution which is on that page, i have tested it:

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/139200-display-categories-to-which-product-belongs-in-product-detail-page/page__p__816472#entry816472

 

It works (by the way, I did took off all the scripts from it to test your solution).

 

That one unfortunately only display categories as name, ca you maybe help me to have it displayed as links ?

 

Thanks for your help

Then it should work.

 

Make sure you are not making a syntax error when copying to location and using Smarty 3, not 2 (BO > Preferences > Use Smarty 2 instead of 3 = no)

Then your theme (or some 3rd party modules you use) must be incompatible with Smarty 3. No matter. change the snippet I posted to following (using Smarty 2 syntax):

<p>This product appears in:
{foreach item=cat name=cats from=$categories}
<a href="{$cat.link_rewrite}">{$cat.name}</a>{if !$smarty.foreach.cats.last} |{/if}
{/foreach}</p>

Answered as asked

i also need the code, where it outputs all sub categories (NOT categories), where the product is in

[threeopus3]

<p>This product appears in:
	{foreach $categories as $category}
			 <a href="{$category['link_rewrite']}">{$category['name']}</a>{if !$category@last} |{/if}	
	{/foreach}</p>

 

Phrasespot, this displays all categories that exist in your shop. It does not display the categories that a product belongs to. Just an FYI. Still a useful peice of code.
