Retreive Cat ID from current product page
I know this is a silly question but on a product page how would I echo the current categorys parent category ID? I have some code that is not working and its based on the parent category ID of the current product.
Thanks for your help. This will help with my logic

Re: Retreive Cat ID from current product page
You have to query the categories table for the parentid for that product's category in php and assign it to smarty. It is a product details page so there is no current category, there is no category

But I seem to be able to echo the current category just fine with
{$current_category.categoryid}

Re: Retreive Cat ID from current product page
On product details page? Imposible unless you have some customization. $current_category doesn't exist on product details page by default. It does on product list pages (category pages).
{$current_category.parentid} will be the code to call parent category id if $current_category array exists

You can get information on the product page about an item's main category, and its parent categories. In webmaster mode, select show variables, and look at the $location array. This is what displays the breadcrumb.
