Hi,
Is it doable to have the first category removed from the product_type field in the Google Product Feed?

Or have some sort of search / replace option for these fields?

I understand this needs some PHP work done by a programmer but I'm just trying to see if it's possible and maybe some tips to get started in the right direction

Thanks.

Hi,

Removing the first category from the product_type should be quite easy for a developer.
In the file plugins/hikashop/google_products.php you have that code:

				foreach($product->categories_id as $catID){
					foreach($category_path as $id=>$catPath){
						if($id == $catID){
							if(strlen($type.str_replace(',', ' ', $catPath['path']).',') > 750) continue;
							$type .= str_replace(',', ' ', $catPath['path']).',';
						}
					}
				}

to skip the first category, you could replace that code by:

				$first = true;
				foreach($product->categories_id as $catID){
					foreach($category_path as $id=>$catPath){
						if($id == $catID){
							if($first) { $first = false; continue; }
							if(strlen($type.str_replace(',', ' ', $catPath['path']).',') > 750) continue;
							$type .= str_replace(',', ' ', $catPath['path']).',';
						}
					}
				}

Now please remember that this file will be overwritten each time you update HikaShop. So you'll loose your changes there and you'll have to redo them.
