Root category display only
 

How can I display level one or root category. The one after store name.
I am trying to add CSS class to body tag based on the root category. Currently display root and subcategories together.

just like location.tpl but not looping through all root category and subs only root category I am interested in.

Or give me idea how to search for the first category in categoryid_path

just like str_instr in php how do I search for particular category in the category path.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply. The {$location[1].0} displays name of root subcategory but I need to find the way to display this subcategory id. Do you know how can I do it?

The categoryid is not passed thru location array by default.
So you can:
1. modify PHP code to pass it
2. pull all the categories with their ids from db, pass them to template and find id that corresponds required category name (PHP again)
3. Parse category URL to get it's number

The third way is the easiest one
like this:

For the root cat it will print nothing since root cat URL is home.php
