Product grid homepage display category link

Question

On our homepage we display a product grid with 6 products. We want to display below every product a link to the category of that product.

So for example one of the products is a laptop. Below that laptop I want to display a link with "See all laptops".

Is this possible?

Answer 1

You could retrieve the list of urls of all the categories of a product with the following code:

<?php
    $categories = $_product->getCategoryIds();  //$_product: Mage_Catalog_Model_Product

    foreach ($categories AS $category) {
        echo Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category)->getUrl(); //get all the URLs here
    }
?>

UPDATED: (To exclude certain category)

<?php
    $categories = $_product->getCategoryIds();  //$_product: Mage_Catalog_Model_Product

    foreach ($categories AS $category) {
        if ($category != REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_HOME_CAT_ID_HERE) {
            $cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category);
            echo "<a href=\"" . $cat->getUrl() . "\"><i class=\"test\"></i>See all " . $cat->getName() . "</a>";

            //to print only one link
            break;
        }
    }
?>
