linked products show same category

[winky3d]

I can link products to multiple categories.

The problem is that selecting a linked product from a category list sends the user to that product page but the 'Category Icon' link at the top of the page shows the category that the master product is in.

So, if I had a product 'Socks' that was in the Clothing category and as a linked product in the Footwear category, then clicking on Socks within Footwear would take me to Clothing -> Socks.
And show a Clothing category link at the top of the page.

That would be confusing for a shopper.

Any suggestions, other than copying Socks to to Footwear, on how to stay within a category heading when showing a linked product page?

thx.

This only works because I have
admin > config > product info > Previous Next - Navigation Includes Category Position > set to "1"

and
admin > config > layout settings > define bread crumbs status > set to "0"
and I don't use category images

In tpl_modules_category_icon_display.php
replace the code in the div tags with this:

<div align="<?php echo $align; ?>" id="categoryIcon" class="categoryIcon"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new, 'NONSSL') . '">' . $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR) .  '</a>'; ?></div>

In init_add_crumbs.php
comment out:

$breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));

and

$breadcrumb->add($productname->fields['products_name'], zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($_GET['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']));

CORRECTION:

I also turned off the link on the breadcrumb, so...

In tpl_modules_category_icon_display.php
replace the code in the div tags with this:

<div align="<?php echo $align; ?>" id="categoryIcon" class="categoryIcon"><?php echo '<b>' . $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR) .  '</b>'; ?></div>

NOTE: this has been updated in v1.3.8 to maintain the current cPath when browsing categories OR use the master_categories_id when the current cPath cannot be determined ...

This will maintain the flow of where are you durning navigation for the customer from a more logical stand point ...

Good to know... thanks Ajeh.

I realize that v1.3.8 is not yet out but has the fix already been made in the current code base, are the category files updated already to keep the navigation consistent?

If so what are the files involved and where can I obtain them?

Thank you

We cannot do partial releases there are too many files involved and changes between versions ...

[RFrancis1980]

I'm not asking for a partial release, I am pretty technically savvy, and I was just hoping there was some documentation for the ongoing project that would point to the specific files on Sourceforge.net > Code > SVN (Subversion) so I could obtain the specific modified files.

If there is no project documentation with specifics on the files for me to access I can just peak around in there and download all the latest files and try to make them work.

Sorry we have nothing to release until the code is done for the upcoming v1.3.8 ...

We don't release in part or before a release is tested to our satisfaction ...

Are linked product breadcrumbs suppose to be working in 1.3.8a?

As they still dont work for me.
