    <p>I'm fairly new at prestashop. On the home page I am using the "Specials Center" module which just displays a list of products that are on sale. I wanted to show which category the product belongs to. I edited SpecialsCenter.tpl and used this code: </p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="#"&gt;Category: {$Specials.category}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; </code></pre> <p>This correctly displays the corresponding category name for which the specific product belongs to. See image: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/YVY38" rel="nofollow">Product with category</a>. The only thing I am having trouble with is creating a link to that category. Should be fairly simple but Prestashop forums seem so vacant. All questions. No answers. What is the variable to use to link to the category page?</p> <p>Thanks for your help. </p> <p>Having done a little more research...this is where I am now...</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="{$link-&gt;getCategoryLink({$Specials.id_category}, {$Specials.category})}"&gt;Category: {$Specials.category}&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>So this outputs this link: mysiteurl/0-laptops - this is partly correct, except the <strong>category ID</strong> is wrong. The id for the category laptops is 4. It should be this: mysiteurl/<strong>4</strong>-laptops. So the first smarty tag <code>{$Specials.id_category}</code> is incorrect. I need to know how to draw the category ID using a variable of some kind. So it should be something like this: </p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="{$link-&gt;getCategoryLink('category-id', {$Specials.category})}"&gt;Category: {$Specials.category}&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks again!!! :)</p>

    1. COThere is a possibility that id_category is not found in $Specials. Try this, and you will see all values in $Specials: <a href="#">{$Specials|print_r}</a>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
