Get Parent Category for Opencart Product Page

Question

Is there a way to get the parent product category on the product page for Opencart? Thanks

Yes, you can. I checked my code in OpenCart 1.5.1.x

First you must modify the /catalog/controller/product/product.php file to add after 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 helps you.
