Adding a link to category from product listing
One of my clients would like to have a link to a product's category in the product listing (customer/main/products_t.tpl). It would be similar to the featured products seen on this site: http://www.ncix.com/ - See how it says "More Processors" etc and links to the category? Does anyone know the smarty code to do this?
The cart version is 4.1.1 Thanks!!

Re: Adding a link to category from product listing
Hi All,
I would like to do this same thing (get a hold of the category name / id and use it in my featured products listing). Does anyone know how to alter the product query to include the stinking category of the product in the product array?!?!?

Re: Adding a link to category from product listing
Also searching for this... A shitload of junk in the smarty variables, yet a simple category of the product nowhere to be found!

Re: Adding a link to category from product listing
Here is a quick mod for this:
1. create a new Smarty modifier plugin -> "include/templater/plugins/modifier.getproductmaincat.php" with the following content: PHP Code:
2. add something like this: Code:
anywhere inside main section loop in the "skin1/customer/main/products_t.tpl" template. e.g. right before this code -> {*** Uncomment it if you need 'Buy Now' button ***

Re: Adding a link to category from product listing
This didn't work for me. :\
On my 4.1.10 build I was able to use the following: {$current_category.category} on product.tpl but on my 4.4 evaluation its not working. I need to show the category link on the product page. Is there any way to do this?

Re: Adding a link to category from product listing
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately this solution doesn't seem to output anything though.
