Hi,

I am trying to change the "Posted in" link at the bottom of an item to show links to the parent category and the current one, like a breadcrumb type of structure. Does anyone know how to call the parent category in the PHP file?

Here is what I have to call the current category only (file: com_k2/templates/default/category.php).

<?php 
$category = JTable::getInstance('K2Category', 'K2Table');
$category->load($this->item->catid);
$parent = JTable::getInstance('K2Category', 'K2Table');
$parent->load($category->parent);
echo $parent->name;
?>

<?php 
JTable::addIncludePath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.'/components/com_k2/tables');
$category = JTable::getInstance('K2Category', 'K2Table');
$category->load($this->item->catid);
$parent = JTable::getInstance('K2Category', 'K2Table');
$parent->load($category->parent);
echo $parent->name;
?>
