hi guys

how can i display the product category on the product page?

thanks

Hello,

If you want to display a listing of categories, you can use an Hikashop category listing menu / module :
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/3...splay-front-end.html

Else if you want to display it through your product page, you can actually add it through your product description.

how do i add it to the product description?

what is the code?

thanks

Hi,

If you want to show product categories/category name on product page you can add something like this to product ->show_default view file.

<?php

							$q = 'SELECT c.* '.
								' FROM ' . hikashop_table('product_category').' as pc '.
								' INNER JOIN '.hikashop_table('category').' AS c ON pc.category_id = c.category_id '.
								' WHERE pc.product_id = '.hikashop_getCID('product_id');
								$database->setQuery($q);
								$product_categories = $database->loadObjectList();
								$categories = array();
								if($product_categories) { ?>
                                <div class=" gray-italic">
									<span class=" margin-reset"><?php echo JText::_('CUSTOM_ITEM_PRODUCT_CATEGORIES'); ?> :</span>
                           		 <?php 
									foreach ($product_categories as $category) $categories[] = $category->category_name;
                                    foreach($categories as $c) $c = '<span class="pull-left margin-reset">'.$c.'</span>';
                                    echo implode(', ', $categories);
								?>

What if I want to see ONLY categories with the same category_parent_id ??

Thank you Nicolas for creating HikaShop and thank you for the assistance you give us

Ok, that's much more clear.
So what you could do is add the code:

if($value->category_parent_id != xx) continue;

before the first ?> in your custom code. Make sure you replace xx with the id of the "Badges & discounts" category.
That way, your code won't display the children categories of that "Badges & discounts" category.

<?php
foreach ($this->categories as $key => $value) { 
if($value->category_parent_id != 140) continue;
?>
		<div id="hikashop_product_category_<?php echo $value->category_id ?>">
			<?php echo $value->category_name ?>
		</div>
<?php
	}
 ?>

Thank you

Would it be possible to have these categories linking to a listing?

Just found a solution ...
