usage of getParentsCategories()

[lsantos2015]

Hello..
 
I'm with a little problem, when trying to get the full category parent array.
 
I'm editing CategoryController.php, and need to get 
 

$var = CategoryCore::getParentsCategories($this->context->language->id);

 
working, and I keep getting this
 

Strict Standards: Non-static method CategoryCore::getParentsCategories() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /xxx/xxx/public_html/xxx/controllers/front/CategoryController.php on line 9999999

 
I'm how can I make this work, to retrieve an array with all categories id's..
 
Thanks in advance

this function is not static:

 

classes/Category.tpl

/**
	 * Get Each parent category of this category until the root category
	 *
	 * @param integer $id_lang Language ID
	 * @return array Corresponding categories
	 */
	public function getParentsCategories($id_lang = null)
	{
		$context = Context::getContext()->cloneContext();
		$context->shop = clone($context->shop);

		if (is_null($id_lang))

it means that you can't call it with something::function

you can call it only with

 

$category = new Category();

$category->getParentsCategories();

 

 

----------------

or just change it to static function

 

public static function getParentsCategories($id_lang = null)
{
$context = Context::getContext()->cloneContext();
$context->shop = clone($context->shop);

 

then you will be able to call it with Category::getParentCategories

HI..

 

Thanks for the prompt answer.

 

If I change to static, I get this : 

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home3/lbss2015/public_html/rmc/classes/Category.php on line 1061

and using 

$category = new Category();
$category->getParentsCategories();

and using this, where do I put the actual category, because all I can get is a lot of empty fields, and the value 1, after 4 or 5 fields from the array..

 

This also does not work.

$category = new Category($this->category->id);
$category->getParentsCategories();

I'm a bit lost here..

If you're adding something to the category controller itself, it should already have access to the category variable stored within itself, so could just try using:

$this->category->getParentsCategories();

If you don't have any luck with that, could also try:

$this->context->category->getParentsCategories();

That said, this bit you mentioned should have worked.. just to check, is it throwing an error, or are you just not storing the output of the function?

$category = new Category($this->category->id);
$category->getParentsCategories();

i.e. $var = $category->getParentsCategories();

Hello FullCircles

 

I tried what you mentioned, but no luck either, I can do it by hand, with a few foreach, while and so.. But if there is a function to do this, why is this not working out ?..

 

by the way, thanks for prompt reply..

 

Any thoughts on this.. ?

Does it actually throw any errors this time, or is it just not returning anything useful?

 

Can't see any reason why any of these shouldn't be working really, it's odd

If object category has been initialized somewhere within your code, you don't have to initializing it again.

 

So, code below is inappropriate :

$category = new Category($this->category->id);
$array_parent = $category->getParentsCategories();

To get each parent category from the existing object category, you just have to do like this :

// Get array parent from the existing object Category
$array_parent = $this->category->getParentsCategories();

But if the object category doesn't yet initialized, then you should do something like this :

// Define id_category
$id_category = (int)Tools::getValue('id_category');

// Initialize object Category
$category = new Category((int)$id_category);

// Get array parent from the initialized object Category
$array_parent = $category->getParentsCategories();
