I started off with magento, and got stuck at a very odd problem,
I have one root category, two child catgories, each having subcategories and products, i want manufacturer list from each of the two child categories which are under the root category.
i started of with giving root category id as 3.
please look at the code below..
$root=3;
$rootcategories=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories($root,1,false,true,false);
foreach($rootcategories as $c=>$Cat){
$product = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
->addCategoryFilter($Cat);
foreach($product as $pro){
$pId=$pr['entity_id'];
$_product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($pId);
$manufacturers[$c][]=$_product->getResource()->getAttribute('manufacturer')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product);
}
}
echo '<pre>';
print_r($manufacturers);
die;
i'm supposed to get list of manufacturers from this code, but i get a 'NO' for each product in each of the category.
you don't make use of your $pro variable in your foreach loop :)
foreach($product as $pro) {
echo $pro->getManufacturers;
}
Try this. Work everywhere.
$manufacturer = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId())->getAttributeText('manufacturer');
Why don't you simply do
$_product->getData('manufacturer');
??
Try
$root=3;
$categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($root)->getChildrenCategories();
foreach($categories AS $cat)
{
$productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')->addCategoryFilter($cat);
foreach($productCollection AS $product)
{
echo $product->getAttributeText('manufacturer').'<br/>';
}
}
Something like that. Hope this helps.

I'm looking to get a product on a home page slider in magento to link to the category it is in... so far i have:
<?php
$allIds = $product->getCategoryIds();
foreach($allIds as $categoryId) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
?>
<?php echo$category->getName() ?><br/>
<?php
}
?>
(this runs within a foreach item) This provides me with the categories (which is great), however the:
<?php echo $category->getCategoryUrl() ?>
Does not seem to link to the correct place (it actually doesn't give me anything). Can anyone help on the matter?
if you want to show only one category link, you don't need to load categories in the loop:
$category = $product->getCategory();
$url = $category->getUrl();
Update: I just realized that the 1st line may not work on the homepage. But you still do not need the loop:
$category = $product->getCategoryCollection()->getFirstItem();
try this
<?php echo Mage::helper('catalog/category')->getCategoryUrl($category);?>

I need a small line of code. I have a category like
Cat-1
Sub-Cat-1
Sub-Cat-2
Cat-2
Sub-Cat-3
Sub-Cat-4
In Sub-Cats page i need to get Root category's Id. Like In "Sub-Cat-1" i need to get "Cat-1's" ID. You can say in children category page, i need parent category's Id. act i am using short url like "abc.com/Sub-Cat-1", nither index.php nor root category in URL.
I am using Magento-1.4.1. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
I got the solution.
echo $cat_idd = $this->getCurrentCategory()->getParentCategory()->getId();
Try to use as:
echo $subCategory->getParentId();
// to get the category ID by product id
$productObj = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product_id);
$categoryIds = $productObj->getCategoryIds();
//Display all categories.
function get_categories(){
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$tree = $category->getTreeModel();
$tree->load();
$ids = $tree->getCollection()->getAllIds();
$arr = array();
if ($ids){
foreach ($ids as $id){
$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$cat->load($id);
$arr[$id] = $cat->getName();
}
}
return $arr;
}
$arr = get_categories();
$arr = array_flip($arr);
//print the array
Hope it will help someone.
I'm currently using the following snippet to get my category ID for each product.
$categoryIds = $_product->getCategoryIds();
foreach($categoryIds as $categoryId) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
echo $category->getName();
echo $category->getUrlPath();
}
I have then been passing the result of that into a switch to identify the category name.
My problem is that I have just added a sale category that some products will be put into, and the result of
echo $category->getName();
is the sale category and not the "actual" category it is in.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to make it a) ignore the sale category, b) get next category id stored for the product?, c) make it work some other way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Not really sure what is the goal, but you can do something like
if ($category->getName == 'Sales') {
continue;
}
or array_filter $categoryIds excluding Sales category
I'm trying to add product_type to my Magento Google Base output based on the product's categories, but I seem to be unable to. I have the following code:
// Get categories from product to include as product_type
$categoryIds = $object->getCategoryIds();
foreach($categoryIds as $categoryId) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
$this->_setAttribute('product_type', $category->getName(), 'text' );
}
The issue is that it returns all of the categories, not just the ones the product is in. Anyone have a solution?
Using the source link dropped by Rao above I actually found a better answer:
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
$cats = $product->getCategoryIds();
foreach ($cats as $category_id) {
$_cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category_id) ;
echo $_cat->getName();
}
This is utterly not tested..
//load the product
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
//load the categories of this product
$categoryCollection = $product->getCategoryCollection();
You can then loop through $categoryCollection like through an array.

Want to point out that the solution by #Rao is the best if you have a product object to get category ID's from as it makes only one SQL call.
If you just have category id's, you can do the following:
$categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('name') //you can add more attributes using this
->addAttributeToFilter('entity_id', array('in'=>array(1,2,3)));
foreach($categories as $_cat){
$holder[]= $_cat->getName();
}
Where array(1,2,3) are your categories. Note that the array has integers, not string values, I found that SQL can be picky about that.
Also wanted to point out that solutions pulling one category at a time are very inefficient as it makes an SQL call for every iteration of the loop e.g.:
foreach(..){
Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
}
Get all Categories of the Product
<?php
$_Product = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->load( PRODUCT_ID );
$categoryIds = $_Product->getCategoryIds();//array of product categories
foreach($categoryIds as $categoryId) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
$this->_setAttribute('product_type', $category->getName(), 'text' );
}
?>
Rao's solution tries to load all the attributes which means lots of queries and joins but you only need a product_id to load it's categories. So you can do this:
$product = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->setId($productId);
$categories = $product->getCategoryCollection();
This will not load the product and will give you the categories.
This code work in phtml file in Magento 2
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$product = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\Registry')->registry('current_product');//get current product
$categories = $product->getCategoryIds(); /*will return category ids array*/
I'd like to get a list of random products from the same category as the current product for displaying within the product view - so far all I've dug up is
Magento products by categories
Does anyone know how to do this?
You basically load up the category, get the Product Collection and then filter appropriately.
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category_id)
->getProductCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->addAttributeToFilter('status', 1)
->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', 4)
->addAttributeToFilter('special_price', array('neq' => ""))
->setOrder('price', 'ASC')
;
Here is the code to get products from any particular category:-
$productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
->addCategoryFilter($category);
what I ended up doing is in app/design/frontend/default/theme_name/template/catalog/product/list_random.phtml
doing something like:
<?php
$_categories=$this->getCurrentChildCategories();
$_category = $this->getCurrentCategory();
$subs = $_category->getAllChildren(true);
$result = array();
foreach($subs as $cat_id) {
$category = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Category();
$category->load($cat_id);
$collection = $category->getProductCollection();
foreach ($collection as $product) {
$result[] = $product->getId();
}
}
shuffle($result);
?>
this will get you an array of product id's. You can loop through them and create products on the fly using:
<?php
$i=0;
foreach ($result as $_product_id){
$i++;
$_product = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Product();
$_product->load($_product_id);
//do something with the product here
}?>
then, create a static block in the cms with the following content
{{block type="catalog/navigation" template="catalog/product/list_random.phtml"}}
Finally, in the Catalog->Manage categories section, choose the category, then the display settings tab. Switch the display mode to "Static block and products" and then choose your block from the drop list.
And that should do it.
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(category_id); //put your category id here
$productslist = $products->getProductCollection()->addAttributeToSelect('*');
foreach($productslist as $product)
{
echo 'price: ' . $product->getPrice() . '<br/>';
}
This is the by far the convenient code in order to fetch product details of perticular category.Hope it helps you.
You should instantiate a model by calling Mage::getModel('catalog/product') in this case because then you get a configured object instance, extended by any configured modules.
If you do it like new Mage_Catalog_Model_Product() this will ignore modules and bypass the Magento API.
This code will helps you to get products from category id 2. And also here uses a template file list_home.phtml for the product listing.
echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock("catalog/product_list")
->setCategoryId(2)->setTemplate("catalog/product/list_home.phtml")->toHtml();
list_home.phtml
<?php
$this->getChild('toolbar')->setCurrentMode('list'); //uses list mode
$_productCollection = $this->getLoadedProductCollection();
$_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
?>
<?php if (!$_productCollection->count()): ?>
<p class="note-msg"><?php echo $this->__('There are no products matching the selection.') ?></p>
<?php else: ?>
--use code for listing---
