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 having been searching for days to get the last subcategory of a product in magento.
Actually what i have to do is display the last subcategory the product is placed in. for example i have plastic and glass as products. I want to display the last subcategory i.e cups or plates.
|Party
--|boys
----|batman
--------|cups
-----------|plastic
-----------|glass
--------|plates
----|Superman
i have edited the list.phtml file, i can get the category id's and name from the array but they are all mixed up. So there is no way to figure out which one is the last category.
Is there any default functionality in magento? or someone be kind enough to help me out?
Thanks in advance.
Edit
Okay, from your description it sounds like you want to get the child categories from the current category you're in. (I.E. Get cups and plates while in batman category view).
The following should be just about as little as you need to get the current children.
<?php
$_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category');
$children = Mage::registry( 'current_category' )->getChildrenCategories();
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $children as $child ): ?>
<li><?php echo $child->getName() ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

It's a little roundabout, but this can get you the parent category id from a product object.
//If you don't have a product to start with, load by ID.
$_product = Mage::getModel( 'catalog/product' )->load($id);
//Assign Category Model
$categoryModel = Mage::getModel( 'catalog/category' );
//Get Array of Category Id's with Last as First (Reversed)
$_categories = array_reverse( $_product->getCategoryIds() );
//Get Parent Category Id
$_parentId = $categoryModel->load($_categories[0])->getParentId();
//Load Parent Category
$_category = $categoryModel->load($_parentId);
//Do something with $_category
echo $_category->getName();
It works better when the product only has one category Id assigned to it. You may not get the category you want if multiple categories have been assigned to that one product.
Also, you can get it a slightly quicker way, but this method doesn't work if the product was searched for:
$_category = Mage::getModel( 'catalog/category' )->load( Mage::registry( 'current_category' )->getParentId() );
I didn't test the line above, but it should work. Only if the product was reached by browsing through the categories though.
I used following codes but didn't work for this case:
$_category_detail=Mage::registry('current_category');
echo $_category_detail->getName();
got Fatal error: Call to a member function getName() on a non-object in /app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/view.phtml
we make some filters and use below mention code in head.phtml:
$is_product = Mage::registry('product');
if($is_product){
if(is_object(Mage::registry('current_category'))){
$category_name = Mage::registry('current_category')->getName();
}
else{ $category_name = ""; }
}
But this only works if you go from a category to a product. If you visit the product page directly nothing is being displayed
It's because products can be attached to multiple categories. In your situation, when you visit a product page referred from a category page, your session has category information. But if you visit directly product page, Magento can not know which category you came from, so it can not show you a specific category, because your product can have multiple categories.
But in your situation, if your products are attached only one category, you can use this code, it shows first category name of product;
$categoryIds = $_product->getCategoryIds();
if(count($categoryIds) ){
$firstCategoryId = $categoryIds[0];
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($firstCategoryId);
echo $_category->getName();
}
<?php
$_category_detail=Mage::registry('current_category');
echo $_category_detail->getName(); //gives current category name
echo $_category_detail->getId(); //gives current category id
?>
I'm trying to display brands on my store. I sell both men and women clothing so I have two separate brand categories.
My category structure looks like this:
Men
Brands
x-brand
Women
Brands
y-brand
I would like to display the brand of the product.
I found this code:
$children = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories(10);
foreach ($children as $category) {
echo $category->getName();
}
However, it works for only one category and displays all subcategories in the parent category not the one owned by the product.
How can I modify this to show the subcategory of the current brand category.
I hope this made sense and I appreciate any help!
To display sub-category listing for a give category
$_category = Mage::registry('current_category');
$subcategories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCategories($_category->getId());
foreach ($subcategories as $subcategory){
print_r($subcategory->getData()
}
See more # Magento: Display sub-category list
Old question is old, but figured I'd chime in as the question went unanswered and someone else might find this useful..
So, first of all, this code relies on being inside a products list loop, i.e.:
$_productCollection=$this->getLoadedProductCollection();
foreach ($_productCollection as $_product) {
*... your product list output here ...*
}
Second, this code is dependent on a setup using "BRANDS" as a sub-category of your Magento root category (whatever it happens to be called) and each brand name being set as a sub-category of the "BRANDS" sub-cat. You may need to augment that cat name in the code below or change your category structure to match mine.
So, within the "ProductCollection" loop already set in app/design/frontend/your-package/your-theme/template/catalog/product/list.phtml, you can put this snippet to echo the name of the brand name.
$categories = $_product->getCategoryCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('name')
->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', array('eq' => 1));
foreach($categories as $category) {
$catID = $category->getId();
$catParent = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($catID)
->getParentCategory();
if ( $catParent->getName() == 'BRANDS' ) {
echo ''.$category->getName().'';
}
}
Bonus edit:
Added code to wrap brand name in link to brand category page.
I have some code that returns an array of product details including a url_path. To create a link to this product I have to know the category and subcategory of the product. Unfortunately out all the data this method returns neither the category or sub category are pulled out.
Here is the code I have that gets a product:
$product_id = array(231, 230,229,228);
foreach ($product_id as $id){
$productDetails = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id)->getData();
echo $productDetails['url_path'].'<br />';
}
Is it possible to get the category and subcategory for each product?
you are looking for
foreach ($product_id as $id){
$categoryIds = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id)->getCategoryIds();
}
which will return you an array of category ids that the product belongs to.
Better way not to miss something with rewrites is to use core functionality.
Mage_Catalog module has own url model, with which product urls can be modified.
So, the code will be:
$product_id = array(231, 230,229,228);
$urlModel = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/url');
foreach ($product_id as $id) {
$urlModel->refreshProductRewrite($id);
}
And it is no need to retrieve category ids for this purpose.
I have the following code to grab a list of Products
$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$collection->addAttributeToSelect('name')
->addAttributeToFilter("category_ids", array('finset'=>$this->category_id));
foreach($collection as $product) {
echo $product->getName();
}
My question is, how can I NOT echo products that are 'simple' but belong to a parent 'configurable' product. (for example don't show "Red Shirt Medium" as it belongs to "Red Shirt")
I have worked out that this association lives in 'catalog_product_super_link' but I have only just started with Magento and unfortuantely don't know how to do the filtering :)
Cheers guys,
Chris.
I don't know a direct way to add this condition to the collection, I'd be interested in such a solution too. But you can always check inside the loop for each product:
if (empty(Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')->getParentIdsByChild($product->getId())))
{
echo $product->getName();
}
I've done something similar for our google feed.
This excerpt of code is what I use to check the products inheritance:
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$products->addAttributeToSelect('*');
$products->addAttributeToFilter('status', 1);//enabled
$products->addAttributeToFilter('price', array('gt' => 0) );//price not 0
//$products->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', 4); //catalog, search - comment out to show all items (configurable products simple product breakdowns)
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($products);
$prodIds=$products->getAllIds();
try {
foreach($prodIds as $productId) {
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
$product->load($productId);
// SIMPLE PRODUCTS
if($product->getTypeId() == 'simple' ) {
$prodName = trim($product->getName());
$parentIds = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_grouped')->getParentIdsByChild($productId);
if(!$parentIds)
$parentIds = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')->getParentIdsByChild($productId);
if($parentIds) {
$parentProd = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($parentIds[0]);
/*
* do something if this product has a parent or do some checks against $parentProd
*/
} // end parent check
}//if SIMPLE
} // foreach
} catch(Exception $e) {
die($e->getMessage());
}
There's a function called isConfigurable in the product class.
That may be of help to you.
$product->isConfigurable();
// if its the parent object it'll be true, if its the child it'll be false.
The quickest way might be to check if the product's visibility is set to "Not Visible Individually", since simple products associated with configurable products are typically set to this. Unfortunately I don't know the precise syntax but hopefully someone else who's willing to chime in does!
Since simple products that are part of configurable products usually have a visibility value of Not Visible Individually, it probably suffices to add a visibility filter to the collection that checks for visibility of the products in the catalog:
$collection->setVisibility(Mage::getModel('catalog/product_visibility')->getVisibleInCatalogIds());
In the unlikely circumstance that the resulting products are part of a configurable product, you can use the method Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Type_Configurable::getParentIdsByChild to check if a product is used as part of a configurable product.
