How to get parent product id in magento?

Question

I know that in Magento 1.4.2.0 one gets parent id\'s like so

list( $parentId ) = Mage::getModel(\'catalog/product_type_configurable\')
                                   


        

Answer 1

You could check the type of the product with $_product->getTypeId(); and if this returns 'configurable', take the configurable model and if it returns 'grouped' take the grouped model.

Hope this helps.
