How can i determine the ROOT category of the product i am currently on.

Basically im looking ot see if the product's root cat is "Apparel" then if it is, i want to include a Sizing Chart link for customers.

but lets say its, "Motherboards" then dont show the sizing chart link.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Tony

look at how the location variable works

something like

{if $location[1].0 eq "Apparel"}

blah blah

{if}

where can i find more info on Location var?

searching around, no luck.

Thanks Shan!

Found it

{$location[position].1} is the variable.

Problem.

if i use this code

{if {$location[position].1} eq "Riding Gear"} 
[img]{$ImagesDir}/size_icon.gif[/img]

{/if}

I get the following output:

eq "Riding Gear"} Image appears



if i use this code

{if $location[position].1 eq "Riding Gear"} 
[img]{$ImagesDir}/size_icon.gif[/img]

{/if}

I get NOTHING to output.

what am i doing wrong?

{if $location[0].0 eq "Gear"}
blah blha
{/if}

This works, thanks Shan.
