[SOLVED] Getting parent product SKU (product page)

[EvanGR]

I am trying to get the SKU for the parent product, in a product page.
I do the following in the default.php (product page):

Code Select Expand

$parentProductId = $product->product_parent_id;
// $parentProductId is now 12434, good so far

$productModel = VmModel::getModel('Product');
$parentProduct = $productModel->getProduct($parentProductId);
print_r($parentProduct);
// this prints nothing

Can anyone spot the problem?

Thanks

There could be a lot of reasons:

You could try:

Code Select Expand

$parentProduct = $productModel ->getProduct($product->product_parent_id, true, true, false);

See function arguments below:-

public function getProduct ($virtuemart_product_id = NULL, $front = TRUE, $withCalc = TRUE, $onlyPublished = TRUE, $quantity = 1,$virtuemart_shoppergroup_ids = 0) {
