Can you please elaborate on your question or give us an image to work off of?
I’m not really sure what you are asking right now.

hi @sherrie,
I’m working at CMS->Manage Pages->homepage using block. At the homepage I’m going to display Items image, price, title, product’s url, and the category’s url.
at this point I’m only confuse to display the category’s url. The problem is “how to get the category’s url”
thanks for your reply

You can figure out the category ID by going to Manage Categories and clicking on the category you need the ID for - when it loads that category to edit it, you will see the category ID in the address bar of your browser. Hopefully that’s what you’re asking, I’m still not quite sure.

Not 100% sure but you may want to play with this code (copy from ‘left.phtml’)
<?php foreach ( $_categories as $_category ): ?> if( $_category -> getIsActive ()): ?> < li > a href = "<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($_category) ?>" <?php if ( $this -> isCategoryActive ( $_category )): ?> class= "active" <?php endif ?> > <?php echo $this -> htmlEscape ( $_category -> getName ()) ?> </ a > ( <?php echo $_category -> getProductCount () ?> ) li > <?php endif; ?> endforeach ?>

This is what I got for sub-categories
< div class= "cat-nav-table" > <?php $i = 0 ; foreach ( $this -> getCurrentChildCategories () as $_childCategory ): ?> if ( $i > 12 ): continue; endif; ?> < ul class= "model" > li > < a href = "<?=$this->getCategoryUrl($_childCategory)?>" <?if ( $this -> isCategoryActive ( $_childCategory )): ?> class= "activeNav" <?endif?> > img src = "<?=$_childCategory->getImageUrl()?>" alt = "<?=$_childCategory->getName()?>" /> </ a > </ li > li > <? = $_childCategory -> getName () ?> </ li > ul > <?php $i ++; endforeach; ?> for( $i ; $i & #x12;!=0;$i++): ?> <?php endfor ?> < div class= "clear" ></ div > div >

I need to get a product category and its sub-category, not current category..
so , I need to make a function to create that.
Now , I can get the category_ids of a product
$_product -> _data[ 'category_ids' ]
but it is only give the category id, not its category name and sub-category name…

hi I created this code :
$_categories = Mage :: helper ( 'catalog/category' )-> getStoreCategories (); $_categories_name = $_categories_path = array(); $_categories as $_category ) : $aIdxs = explode ( ',' , Mage :: getModel ( 'catalog/category' )-> setData ( $_category -> getData ())-> getAllChildren ()); //echo Mage::helper('catalog/category')->drawItemAll($_category).$_category->getId(); if ( $_category -> getIsActive ()) : $aIdxs as $idx => $iCatIdx ) : $iCatIdx > 2 ) { = $this -> htmlEscape ( $_category -> getName ()); $_categories_path[$iCatIdx] = Mage :: getModel ( 'catalog/category' )-> setData ( $_category -> getData ())-> getUrl (); } endforeach;
I don’t know if this code is good enough or not…
please, someone tell me…
thanks
