SOLVED: Link to go up to parent category

Hello Tuan,

first let me say, that I really like your component EDocman. Does just what I need it to do and such a nice code in the frontend.

I have just one simple question (I searched if the answer already existed, but didn't find anything):

If you are in a subcategory, do you have an option to show some link to go up to the parent category? I didn't find anything in the backend configuration. Also I couldn't find any such link in your demo pages. So I surmise you don't have it implemented.

So my - maybe not so simple - next question is: I want to integrate such a link in an override in "table.php". What would be the code for it? And I don't mean something like "history.go(-1)"

Hi Till

Do you have breadcrumb module loaded on your site ? If you loaded that module into your site template (hope you know how to do that), you will be able to navigate to parent categories easily !

Tuan

Yes, I do know how to integrate the breadcrumbs module. Pity that my client does not want it to be present on his website.

But still, thank you for your hint! I will look into the breadcrumbs module and see if I can re-use some of that code to generate such a "Up to parent category" link.

Update: My mother always told me to think before talking. Well, she was right... Here is the very simple code. Put it where you want the link to appear.

Yeah, that's a very simple solution and it works. Breadcrumb will make it more flexible (allowing to navigate to any parent category - in case you have categories in different levels). But I guess the above code is OK for your usecase !
