Show all assigned categories (full path) in product detail

[lostmail]

Is there an extension available which shows all categories with the full path (i.a. Goods => Home => Kitchen => Cups) a product is assigned in product details ?

The problem is:
When a customer is on product details in this view I need the information in which other categories this products is assigned, too. (with link and full category path).

Is there any solution for this? I need to show path too.

I dont have time to re-write this code for you,
but I will tell you what it does

It combines

all categories a product is in & children category, & related categories

It removes duplicates

<?php defined ( '_JEXEC' ) or die ( 'Restricted access' );
?>



       <div class="category-view related-childs related-categories">
<?php
$i=0;
$tt=0;
$html='';
foreach ($this->product->categoryItem as $category){
if ($category['published']==0)continue;
$caturl = JRoute::_ ( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=' . $category['virtuemart_category_id'] );
$catname=$category['category_name'];
$categoriescombined[]= array($caturl,$catname,$category['virtuemart_category_id']);
$skip2[]=$category['virtuemart_category_id'];
$tt++;
}
foreach ($this->category->children as $category) {
if (in_array($category->virtuemart_category_id,$skip2, TRUE)){
      continue;
      }
$caturl=JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=' . $category->virtuemart_category_id, FALSE);
$catname=$category->category_name;
$categoriescombined[]= array($caturl,$catname,$category->virtuemart_category_id);
$tt++;
}
  if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted['related_categories'])){  foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted['related_categories'] as $field) {
    $tt++;
      } }
    $tt=$tt-1;
   
$html.='<h3>Related Categories</h3>';
  $html.='<ul class="ul width30">';
if (!empty($this->product->customfieldsSorted['related_categories'])){   foreach ($this->product->customfieldsSorted['related_categories'] as $field) {
$skip[]=$field->customfield_value;
$field->display  = str_replace( 'target="_blank"', '', $field->display);
      $html.='<li class="i'.$i.'">'.$field->display.'</li>';
      $i++;
      if ($i==5 && $tt>5){$html.='</ul><ul class="ul width30">';}
      } }

  foreach ($categoriescombined as $categoriescombined){
if (!empty($skip)){ if (in_array($categoriescombined[2],$skip, TRUE)){
      continue;
      } }
  $html.='<li class="i'.$i.'"><a href="'.$categoriescombined[0].'" title="'.$categoriescombined[1].'">'.$categoriescombined[1].'</a></li>';
  $i++;
  if ($i==5 && $tt>5){$html.='</ul><ul class="ul width30">';}
}
      
      $html.='</ul>';
      echo $html;

?>
</div>

all the cats assigned are available in the this->product object in the prod details

just get them and render them out nicely

$this->product->categoryItem

[maxispin]

Thank you! I study it.

Worked! Now it echos:

Category path: > Parent 0 > Parent 2 > Parent 1

I see it is in id -order, that is not exactly what we want to see.

I am thinking that these should be used this type of way.

category_parent_id > category_parent_id >category_child_id


I am stucked.

I tried to mimic from this code but without luck
