Thread

Maybe a simple categories question but I can’t seem to find a straight forward answer. I have a Playa relationship setup so I can display what essentially are “recommended products” links. I have products in different subcategories.

<a href="/products/{categories}{category_url_title}{/categories}/{url_title}">

The above is 95% there, but it’s outputting the as ParentChild (or “chairsmetal-chairs”). I just need the parent to show (“chairs”). Didn’t think parent_only was an option in this situation, but haven’t run across it before.

What’s the best approach here?

Hi, Chris. Since this has to do with a third party add-on, I’m going to move this to the Community Help forum for additional community support.

Hi Sue. I only mentioned Playa for context. In reality this is an EE parent/child category question when using the tag:

{category_url_title}

It outputs as ParentChild (if an entry is in a sub-category) when I only need it to show Parent for linking purposes.

Possible to move this back to technical support, Sue?
