Thanks")* Hi, Another to do it could be to directly look at the URL and its parameters in $_SERVER There you'll have the alias of the category somewhere and you should be able to extract it and then load the category id based on that alias with a MySQL query to the hikashop_category table. But your solution is better as far as I can see. Last edit: 7 years 11 months ago by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile").
