Today i want to show you simple tutorial about adding product categories to each product added to cart on shopping cart page in your prestashop store.

Product categories and shopping cart

In this case you have to open shopping-cart-product-line.tpl file located in your theme directory. Open this file and search for line:

<p class="s_title_block"><a href="{$link->getProductLink($product.id_product, $product.link_rewrite, $product.category, null, null, $product.id_shop, $product.id_product_attribute)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a>

Right after this line add code:

<br/>
<span style="font-size:10px;">
    {foreach from=Product::getProductCategoriesFull($product.id_product) item=cat}
        <a href="{$link->getCategoryLink({$cat.id_category})}" title="{$cat.name}">{$cat.name}</a>, 
    {/foreach}
</span>

This code send query to the database for all categories associated to the product. Then foreach loop select categories one by one and displaying them as a link to the category.
