Magento: Get current and parent category

22 December 2009 Share/Bookmark

You can get current category from the following code:

$currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category');

You can get the parent category from the following code:

/**
 * You want the parent category of a sub-category
 * Let the sub-category be $subCategory
 */

$parentCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCategory->getParentId());
