Showing other categories that the product exists in

[bsdll]

On the product page, I would like to be able to show the other categories that this product exists in.

 

For example, the product exists in category A, B and C. When I click on category B, then click on the product, on the product page I would like it to say:

 

"Also exists in category A, C"

 

I am not sure how to do that with the tpl file or if I need to go further than that to get the list generated first.

 

Thanks,

Darren.

You can probably get category ids as an array using {$product->getCategories()} (which could be cycled through). If you need the complete objects then you probably will have to add a class override for the product controller that calls Product::getProductCategoriesFull() and sets that for Smarty.

 

I would also expect that the stock module that shows products in the same category could be trivially adapted for this purpose.
