If you want to get Current Category id on navigation, you can do like this.
<?php $layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
$_category = $layer->getCurrentCategory();
$currentCategoryId= $_category->getId();?>
Hopes this will solve your problem.

I have been working on the maga menu. I got the collection in phtml like:
<?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php $currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category') ?>
Now I have to add the filter to show specific categories. Like I have an array(1,2,3,4) of categories that i want to show. so how can I apply filter to this Helper.
Any one have any suggestion please answer.
Thanks.
The first answer is correct but it's not efficient as it consumes unnecessary database round trips. #Karan's code issues a query to the database for every id. Just imagine if the number of category ids to be filtered were 50 or above.
My example would be this:
<?php
$catIds = array(1,2,3,4);
$catCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection()->addAttributeToFilter('id', $catIds)->addAttributeToFilter('is_active',1);
foreach($catCollection as $category){
echo $category->getName()." ";
}
This will reduce the database roundtrip to just one.
use this code
<?php $catids[]=array(1,2,3,4);
foreach($catids as $id):
$_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($id);
if($_category->getIsActive()):
echo $_category->getName();
endif;
endforeach;
?>
and don't forget to link my answer if it was helpful
Pages of different category should display different footers and is the idea behind.
I know there are lot of similar questions and I tried them all, but they didn't work.
I have added custom category attribute to category page, and I want to see it in the footer.
I tried to use:
<?php if($_customAttribute = $this->getCurrentCategory()->getCustomAttribute()): ?>
<?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_customAttribute, 'footer_text') ?>
But I have not got any results for this.
You can try it like this.
$category = Mage::registry('current_category');
<?php if ($category->getFooterText()) : ?>
<?php echo Mage::helper('catalog/output')->categoryAttribute($category, $category->getFooterText(), 'footer_text');?>
<?php endif;?>
But keep in mind...if you add this in footer.phtml it won't work with the block cache on. The footer is cached, so once you load a page the code above will have no effect on the next pages.
[EDIT]
If you want to have a different footer on some pages you need to modify the cache key for the footer block. There is an explanation on how to do that in here but it's for a simple page not a category. The concept is the same.
What you need to do is to change only the getCacheKeyInfo method to depend on the category. Something like this:
public function getCacheKeyInfo()
{
$info = parent::getCacheKeyInfo();
$category = Mage::registry('current_category');
if ($category) {
$info[] = $category->getId();
}
return $info;
}
I am trying to display category name in product detail page. For that I am using
$cat_name=Mage::registry('current_category')->getName();
It shows category name.
But when I went to wishlist page & click to product image then it give error:-
Fatal error: Call to a member function getName() on a non-object in /opt/lampp/htdocs/dominie/app/design/frontend/default/dominie/template/catalog/product/view.phtml.
Please help me how can I solve this issue.
Just tested the code below and it work in v1.7 when added to template/catalog/product/view.phtml.
However Mage::registry('current_category'); is only available if when coming to a product page from a category page (not tested, but may also dependent on if you have seo url that contain the category names within the url)
<?php
$_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
$_category_detail=Mage::registry('current_category');
echo $_category_detail->getName(); //gives current category name
echo $_category_detail->getId(); //gives current category id
?>
See http://vinayp.com.np/how-to-get-category-name-and-id-on-product-page-on-magento/
To display all the categories that a product belong to do
<?php $categories = $_product->getCategoryIds(); ?>
<?php foreach($categories as $k => $_category_id): ?>
<?php $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category_id) ?>
<?php echo $_category->getName() ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
See http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/27720/
Try to define $cat_name in your wishlist module so that collection from wishlist module will also contain category name from which it was added to wishlist. This will surely reduce your overhead.
I want to retrieve the parent category only in current store of magento. I googled and get the result for all parent category with subcategories included. but want only parent top categories single depth only.
if(strlen(trim($primary_category_temp)) < 1)
{
$_categories = Mage::helper('catalog/category')->getStoreCategories();
if (count($_categories) > 0):
foreach($_categories as $_category):
$primary_category[] = $_category->getId();
endforeach;
endif;
}
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->getCollection()->addFieldToFilter('is_active',array('eq' => 1))->load();
from this i get whole category collection
foreach($category as $cat)
{
if($cat->getData('level')==2)
{
echo 'my code';
}
}
May be you need use:
Mage::app()->getStore($store)->getRootCategoryId()
or
Mage::app()->getStore()->getRootCategoryId()
for default store
Try below code
$categories=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
->getCollection()
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->addAttributeToFilter('level',2)
->addIsActiveFilter();
This will only retrieve parent top categories
Other than the normal navigation I get when I add subcategories to the main root category, I want to be able to make a new root category, assign subcategories to it and have it display as a separate menu.
Is this possible?
May this can help you :Link 1Link 2
To retrieve another root category
<?php
echo '<pre>';
$id=9;
$catagory_model = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$categories = $catagory_model->load($id); // where $id will be the known category id
if(!empty($categories))
{
echo 'category name->'.$categories->getName(); //get category name
echo '<br>';
echo 'category image url->'.$categories->getImageUrl(); //get category image url
echo '<br>';
echo 'category url path->'.$categories->getUrlPath(); //get category url path
echo '<br>';
}
?>
now $id=9; is my new root category id.
To retrieve sub categories of these new root category ($id=9;) below is the following reference code.Customize it according to your requirements.
<?php $helper = $this->helper('catalog/category') ?>
<?php $categories = $this->getStoreCategories() ?>
<?php foreach($categories as $category): ?>
<?php $subcategories = $category->getChildren() ?>
<?php foreach($subcategories as $subcategory): ?>
<?php $subsubcategories = $subcategory->getChildren() ?>
<?php foreach($subsubcategories as $subsubcategory): ?>
<?php endforeach; ?><!-- end foreach subsubcategories -->
<?php endforeach; ?><!-- end foreach subcategories -->
<?php endforeach; ?><!-- end foreach categories -->
In an ideal world you would have found the answer by now, but in case you didn't I modified Nikhil's answer to work for me to basically do what you describe, minus any convenience at all...
$id=9;
$catagory_model = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$categories = $catagory_model->load($id);
if(!empty($categories))
{
$cats = explode(",", $categories->getChildren());
foreach($cats AS $c)
{
$cat = $catagory_model->load(trim($c));
echo ''.$cat->getName().'';
}
}
I'm just pasting what I used. The reality is you will have to build the html to make this do whatever you want it to do. If you have subcategories within your loop, you will have to run another fetch in the foreach part.
I am not familiar with magento enough to know what methods you can run on the $cat object. I did a print_r($cat) to examine the object and made a lucky guess that getUrlKey would be available.
Magento... pfft! you'd think ebay would have higher standards than this.
