Re: root cat

Ashley, I've tried using the root category in my products.tpl and with our flyout categories mod, but no cigar. I ended up creating other templates to get the result that I wanted, but it was far more work. If you find an answer for capturing the root category, please post it.

Re: root cat

Try this:

{$current_category.categoryid_path|regex_replace:" /\/[0-9\/]*/":""}

this fetches the root category from the path. It finds the first "/" and replaces everything after it with nothing leaving the current root cat id.

Hope this helps.

Re: root cat

Re: root cat

I always like keeping processing in php when possible.

Open home.php

FIND:

Code:

require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";

AFTER ADD:

Code:

// WCM - Get Root Cat (customization)

$wcmRootCat = func_query_first("SELECT categoryid,category FROM $sql_tbl[categories] WHERE categoryid='" . (int)current(explode('/',($current_category['categoryid_path']))) . "'");

$current_category['root_categoryid'] = $wcmRootCat['categoryid'];

$current_category['root_category'] = $wcmRootCat['category'];

$smarty->assign('current_category',$current_category);

// / WCM - Get Root Cat (customization)

In your template use:

Code:

{if $current_category.root_categoryid eq X}

    The root category for this is: {$current_category.root_category}.

{else}

Something else

{/if}
