How to get product category from id

I'd like to display the category for a given product on its product page.

If I use product_category() I need to pass in the path but my product query returns the category ids.

What's the best way to get the path from the id?

Thanks.

my product query returns the category ids

Which query is that? Can you show us what you're doing?

I have a product detail page where I output my product using:-

perch_shop_product(perch_get('slug'), ['template' => 'products/product_display.html']);

I then included the <perch:showall /> tag in my product_display.html template and searched through for anything related to categories. I see an array called category which I think includes the ids of the categories attached to this product.

If I wanted to output the title or link for this category I don't know how to without using product_category() because I only have the id, not the slug.

Hello Mark,

Are you trying to display the categories inside the product_display.html template? If so, you can use perch:categories tags to do so:

<perch:categories id="category" set="products" label="Category">
    <perch:category id="catTitle" />
</perch:categories>

Thanks Hussein, that's working for me.

I've been given the answer, how do I close this thread to stop spam?

I strongly applaud that beginners stay away from astrophotography until they have well-read to travel the sky. Astrophotography is by https://writemyessayguru.com far the most well-appointed and difficult area of amateur astronomy.

A product category is a type of product or service. Product categories are typically created by a firm or industry organization to organize products. This can include a hierarchy of categories that resemble a tree structure. You can also, check https://papersize.co/ for more information.

$app = JFactory::getApplication(); $menu = $app->getMenu(); if($active = $menu->getActive()){ $whichMenu = $active->alias; }else{ $whichMenu=-1; } now you can implement this query i get category page id then its going to individual details products. https://www.getmyleather.com/
