Display parent category with Loopers

[omid020]

Hi,

I’m going to display product parent category in WC Single layout with custom loopers but it returns “Uncategorized” as result.

I have used this code in functions.php:

/**
 * Parent category with Loopers
 */

add_filter('cs_looper_custom_parentcat', function($result, $args)

 { 
   $parent_cat=$args['parent_cat'];
   $cat_args= get_terms(['taxonomy' => 'product_cat','hide_empty' => false, 'parent' => 0]);

  $parentcat = $cat_args;
  return $parentcat;
  
}, 10, 2);

and placed this code in JSON window:
$parent_cat=$args['parent_cat'];

and on Text element I enabled Looper Consumer with One item.

Could you please guide me to debug the process?

Thanks in advance.
Omid

Hi Omid,

Thanks for reaching out.
You need to set the Looper Consumer to All to get all the values, otherwise, the loop will run once if set to One. I would also suggest you go through the following thread which may help you on this.

Hi @Nuera, It seems you are trying to show the Subcategories of current categories. If that is the case, you need to use the custom hook within your existing Looper Provider and pass the {{dc:term:id}} as a parameter to the custom hook function as explained in the following thread. And you may need to change the function a little to get the JSON parameter that sends to the custom Hook function, please find that change in the below code. $term_id = cs_dynamic_content( $args['parent_cat'] ); […

Thanks

Hi @tristup, Thanks for reply.

I modified code and now the function returns only the parent categories:

/**
 * Get parent category with Loopers
 */

add_filter('cs_looper_custom_parentcat', function($result, $args) 
 {
 
$category = get_queried_object();
 
  $cat_args = array(
    'hide_empty' => 1,
     'parent' => 0,
    'taxonomy' => 'product_cat'
    
  );
  
  $parentcats = get_categories($cat_args);
return $parentcats;

}, 10, 2);

I also added this JSON to looper but honestly I don’t know is it a true code or not:

{
    "parent_post": "{{dc:term:id}}"
}

When I set the Looper Consumer to All then all the parent categories appear on single product page while I need just to display the parent category related to product. Also when I set to One then it returns irrelevant category.

Hi @marc_a, Thanks for reply.

Because the website is not in English language, I think this screenshot will help:

Hi Omid,

I have seen your code and it will return all the Parent Category and that is why it is showing all those. If you are trying to show only current product Categories I would suggest you use the Current Post Terms option of Looper Provider as shown in the given screenshot.

If that is not what you want and trying to show only the parent category not the child categories related to this specific Product, you required complex customization of the code. The customization is beyond the scope of Theme Support, I would suggest you hire a developer who can assist you to do the customization or you can avail of our newly launched service called One, where we answer the questions beyond normal theme support.

Thanks
