ParentCategories
A block tag that lists all the ancestors of the current category.
Output all parent categories and glue using a forward slash:
<mt:ParentCategories glue ="/">
<$mt:CategoryLabel$>
</mt:ParentCategories>
The above templating will output something like the following:
Parent Category/Sub-Category/Sub-Sub-Category
Attributes
exclude_current
This optional boolean attribute controls the exclusion of the current category in the list.
glue
This optional attribute is a shortcut for connecting each category label with its value.
Examples
Breadcrumbs
Use the following code on Category archive template. If the current category has a parent category, loop through the parent categories starting at the top level (excluding the current category), then output the title of the current archive.
<mt:HasParentCategory>
<mt:ParentCategories exclude_current="1">
<a href="<$mt:CategoryArchiveLink$>"><$mt:CategoryLabel$></a> /
</mt:ParentCategories>
</mt:HasParentCategory>
<$mt:ArchiveTitle$>
On an Entry archive template:
<mt:HasParentCategory>
<mt:ParentCategories>
<a href="<$mt:CategoryArchiveLink$>"><$mt:CategoryLabel$></a> /
</mt:ParentCategories>
</mt:HasParentCategory>
<$mt:EntryTitle$>
The glue attribute can be used to create “fancy” breadcrumbs:
<mt:ParentCategories glue =" » ">
<$mt:CategoryLabel$>
</mt:ParentCategories>
Which outputs:
Parent Category » Sub-Category » Sub-Sub-Category
