Is there a way to render the catalog hierarchy navigator on an eCommerce product page?

Eric Jonas

Hi, all. Longtime listener, first time caller here.


Question: Is there an S tag or some other way to render the "catalog hierarchy navigator" (select tag populated with eCommerce product categories) on an individual product page in the eCommerce module? The eCommerce store GUI (Configure Standard Pages > Edit custom page) allows you to add that select as an element to an eCommerce homepage and/or category page, but not a page for an individual product. Is there any way to render it with code (either with an S tag or custom JS)?


The reason I ask is that I am using this select to dynamically add content to a custom nav. Basically, want my eCommerce nav bar to have a categories submenu with one link for each category. Currently, I can do that on the homepage and category pages by rendering the catalog hierarchy navigator select to the page, using CSS to hide its containing div, and then using custom JS to scrape the category names and values from the select options to populate the categories menu. But that solution won't work on individual product pages unless I can render the catalog hierarchy navigator select on those pages. I don't see a way to do that.


Thanks, all.
