[SOLVED] display default category name in new product slider

[Devil089]

Hi

 

i tried to display the name of the default category in the new products slider without any result

the ids work with {$product.id_category_default}  

 

but not the name of the category {$product.category_default}

 

 

can somebody help me wich is the right code for the tlp file 

in product.tlp it works for me with this guide

 

but how can i add the default category name for the new products slider (module) and the featured products ? 

 

i use ps 1.6.0.8

new products slider 

this is probably some non default solution, becaue i don't know any default module like that

hi vekia, 

 

yes its only a module from the transformer theme it display only the new products in a slider.

 

now i want to add the default category name in this module

but i don´t know how the code for the tlp file look like

 

with {$product.id_category_default}    

 

i got only the id´s but i need the names of this id´s

 

do you have any ideas to realize this ?

 

Vekia i have found your code in a thread of you 

 

<span style="font-size:10px;">

    {foreach from=Product::getProductCategoriesFull($product.id_product) item=cat}

        <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink({$cat.id_category})}" title="{$cat.name}">{$cat.name}</a>,

    {/foreach}

</span>

 

this code works for me but i only need the default category name not all category names

 

how can i modify it to realize this ?

everything depends on how the module controller looks like.

if there is no $product object, code that i proposed to use may not work well

 

try to use {$product|print_r} you will see available variables to use, if there will be no category default variable, you will need to extend module controller, there will be no other way to achieve it, unfortunately

Hi Vekia,

 

thank you for you replay

 

i got a solution from the theme developer

i think its working for other solutions too.

 

edit product.php

 

Add the following lines right after this line

 

 $row['category'] = Category::getLinkRewrite((int)$row['id_category_default'], (int)$id_lang);

 

 

$category = new Category((int)$row['id_category_default']);

$row['category_name'] = $category->getName((int)$id_lang);

 

 then use {$product.category_name}
