Show linked categories on catalog.php

[tessthepup]

Hi Guys,

Would anyone have any ideas on how to show the categories that a prouct is linked to under the 'Move' & 'Copy To' buttons in admin/catalog.php?

Thanks
Mark

You can find how to get a list of the categories here: https://github.com/CE-PhoenixCart/Phoen ... ct.php#L17

Then insert that into the infoBox with a hook (includes/hooks/admin/catalog/categories.php) that goes something like:

Code: Select all

class hook_admin_catalog_categories{
   function listen_infoBox($parameters) {
     global $product;
     if ($product && ($product Instanceof Product)) $parameters['contents'][] = ['class' => 'style', 'text' => $GLOBALS['Categories']::draw_breadcrumbs($product->get('categories'))];
  }
}

Add a meaningful class instead of "style" and add explanation in text (preferably as a constant defined in a language-file) as needed.

Hi Daniel, thanks for that.

I had to change this

Code: Select all

if ($product && ($product Instanceof Product)) $parameters['contents'][] = ['class' => 'style', 'text' => $GLOBALS['Categories']::draw_breadcrumbs($product->get('categories'))];

to this

Code: Select all

if (class_exists($product && ($product Instanceof Product))) $parameters['contents'][] = ['class' => 'style', 'text' => $GLOBALS['Categories']::draw_breadcrumbs($product->get('categories'))];

as it was throwing a class error in PHP8

Now there are no errors but the categories do not show

This looks wrong

Code: Select all

if (class_exists($product && ($product Instanceof Product)))

class_exists should only check something that could actually be a class (I think)
Maybe something like:

Code: Select all

if (class_exists(Product) && $product && ($product Instanceof Product))

However I don't know what error you got. If the class does not exist, then this will never return anything with or without an error, so fixing the original error would be better than using class_exists (unless that was to suppress the warning on categories)

The error log shows this

Maybe Instanceof should be instanceof - Might be my autocorrect that changed that.
The Product class should exists, so "class_exists" should not be needed.
If it still fails, try with just

Code: Select all

if($product)

- I don't think it's likely that the variable contains anything it shouldn't, but I might be wrong...

@Kofod95 Neither of those worked Daniel
@Omar_one Thanks Omar but I get this error

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected variable "$parameters"

@Omar_one
Still getting the same error
I am running php 8.0 if that makes any difference.

Could you check and see at your side?
