product's sequence number

Is there an easy way to get product's sequence number in current category?
For example if I open 5th product I need to get something like $current_product=4 (considering it starts with 0), so then I can pass it to javascript.
I know I can go through $products or $cat_products to get this number, I just was wondering if that number already exists somewhere.
It's for v.4.4.4

Re: product's sequence number

Possibly the closest you could get to doing this with some pre-existing code/variables would be if you set the product positions in the category, then use the order_by variable.

Nice idea, unfortunately order_by is available only for categories in $categories_menu_list, I don't know how to include it into $product.

Re: product's sequence number

OK, that was simple.
in product.php

PHP Code:


		
			
// product's sequence number in current category - by Stizerg
if (is_array($products)) 
    foreach($products as $x=>$pr)
        if ($pr['productid'] == $productid) {
            $product_info["seq_number"] = $x+1;
            break;
        }
//

before

PHP Code:


		
			
$smarty->assign('product', $product_info);

In my design I display products of current category at the bottom of product area so

PHP Code:


		
			
include './products.php';

must be included somewhere in the beginning of product.php, otherwise it wouldn't work.
And now I can use {$product.seq_number} in my templates.
