Re: how to get a product root category name?

I think X-Cart 4 doesn't pass information on the product's category to the product page template, so you should tweak product.php first: use the func_get_category_data() function to load information on the category and send it to the template with $smarty->assign('NAME_OF_SMARTY_VARIABLE', $DATA).

See how $categories_menu_list is used in customer/categories.tpl.

You could get it from the breadcrumb...

Code:

{foreach $location item=l name=location}

{assign var="total" value=$l@total}

{if $l@index eq $total - 2}

{assign var="root_category" value=$l.0|amp}

{/if}

{/foreach}



{if $root_category}{$root_category}{/if}
