Just say I have one category:

Intel

and underneath this 'parent' category I have 3 subcategories:

Celeron
Pentium
Pentium Mobile

If a customer is viewing the products listed in the "Pentium" category, but wants to 'jump back' one level to "Intel" - is there a way I can provide such a direct link back to this 'parent' category?

I want to achieve this *without* using the full length breadcrumbs (location.tpl).


I had a stab at this, but the code below produces a link for the *current* category - if somebody knows how to refer to the *2nd* last element of the $location array I think it might do the trick:

	  {if !$subcategories}
	  	{section name=position loop=$location}
			{if %position.last% eq "true"} {if $location[position].1 ne "" }
				<a href="{$location[position].1}">{/if}
			<font class=NavigationPath>{$location[position].0}</font> 
		    {if $location[position].1 ne "" }</a>{/if}
			{/if}
		{/section}
	  {/if}

I pasted this elsewhere, but it might be useful here too..


Hi Everyone

found it. For anyone else with a similar problem:

$location[1].1 will give the immediate parent category id.

Cheers.
