[SOLVED] How do I get the category of lastProductAdded?

[daquity36]

Hello, I'm not very experienced with Prestashop/Smarty.

How do I get the category of lastProductAdded?

I am trying to make the "continue shopping" button redirect to the category of the last product added.

 

<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($lastProductAdded.category->id)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" class="button_large" title="{l s='Continue shopping'}">« {l s='Continue shopping'}</a>

 

The following code doesn't seem to work, giving category id of 0 for some reason.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I also have tried,

 

<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($lastProductAdded.id_category_default)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" class="button_large" title="{l s='Continue shopping'}">« {l s='Continue shopping'}</a>

SOLVED IT with the help of someone on stackoverflow.

 

The following is correct:

<a href="{$link->getCategoryLink($lastProductAdded.id_category_default)|escape:'htm‌​lall':'UTF-8'}" class="button_large" title="{l s='Continue shopping'}">« {l s='Continue shopping'}</a>

 

For Prestashop 1.4, however, you have to go to classes/cart.php and modify the function getLastProduct as following:

public function getLastProduct()
{
   $sql = '
    SELECT cp.`id_product`, cp.`id_product_attribute`, p.`id_category_default`
    FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'cart_product` cp
    JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'product` p ON (cp.`id_product` = p.`id_product`)
    WHERE `id_cart` = '.(int)($this->id).'
    ORDER BY cp.`date_add` DESC';
   $result = Db::getInstance()->getRow($sql);
   if ($result AND isset($result['id_product']) AND $result['id_product'])
    return $result;
   return false;
}
