Magento: Get category name and url from product

7 December 2009 Share/Bookmark

$product->getCategoryIds() gives array of category ids which the product is associated to. We can loop through this array and load each category to get the category name and url.

<?php
/**
 * get categories from a product
 */
$categoryIds = $product->getCategoryIds();
/**
 * looping through the array of category ids
 */
foreach($categoryIds as $categoryId) {
	$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
	?>
		Category: <a href="<?php echo $category->getCategoryUrl() ?>"><?php echo $category->getName() ?></a><br/>
	<?php
}
?>

    How do you make this work on the product search page?

    Category info seems to be only loaded on product pages and category pages …

    If getCategoryUrl() method doesn’t work for someone, try getUrlPath(). Works for magento 1.5.1

    Hi,  I tried your code, but it didn’t work.

    here the code I added app/code/core/Mage/GoogleAnalytics/Block/Ga.php

               $categoryIds = $item->getCategoryIds();           $categories = null;            foreach($categoryIds as $categoryId) {              $category = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/category’)->load($categoryId);              $categories[] = $category->getName();            }            $html .= ‘_gaq.push([“_addItem”,’;            $html .= ‘”‘ . $order->getIncrementId() . ‘”,’;            $html .= ‘”‘ . $this->jsQuoteEscape($item->getSku(), ‘”‘) . ‘”,’;            $html .= ‘”‘ . $this->jsQuoteEscape($item->getName(), ‘”‘) . ‘”,’;            $html .= ‘”‘ . implode(‘,’, $categories ) . ‘”,’;

    I’m using Magento: 1.4.1.0

    Hi Bartosz, and Mukesh, thanks so much for your brilliant site!!!

    I am finding that the only way to get the URL in 1.5.1 is just using “getUrl”.  If you use “getUrlPath”, it only returns the portion of the path after your domain url, eg: just “category_name.html”.  If you use “getUrl”, you get the full path to the category.

    Cheers,
    Andrew.

    Works fine, I just had to use $_product instead of $product.
