Passing Category Clean URL
 

Hello, I am having trouble getting the clean url of product category then pass it to a variable template.

here's my sample code in bread_crumbs.tpl:

I am getting
instead of
clean url are working if you use that in href tags

I see several ways to get the clean URL, not sure which to advise you to use. For instance, on a category page we have:
{$php_url} - returns the whole string "http://yourdomain.com/this-category-url/"

{$canonical_url} - returns just "this-category-url/"

{$current_category.clean_url} - returns "this-category-url/" as well

On the product page {$canonical_url} returns "this-product.html" and {$php_url} gives "http://yourdomain.com/this-product.html"

Hope that helps.

Those solution might work if I am on the category page, But since I am on the product page it would return the product clean url. What I want is get the clean URL on the bread_crumbs.tpl on which the product categories are located.

Okay. Now I understand. That is going to be difficult, I'm afraid.

You are going to have to query the DB, and assign the product's category's clean URL to an array. I think I can put you on the right track. On the product page, it looks like the $location array is being built near line 292, with this snippet of code:
Recursively search your files for that function "func_get_category_data", hopefully you can understand it's operation enough to add the Clean URL to the array, rather than the home.php?cat=123 that is currently being passed.

I was able to get the clean url of categories by using func_clean_url_get function on my product page and then add an entry to my location array.

Chistian, thanks for providing your final solution. It would be even better if you shared the completed code.
