I know that in Magento 1.4.2.0 one gets parent id\'s like so
list( $parentId ) = Mage::getModel(\'catalog/product_type_configurable\')
Here is another solution for magento 1.7.2
$parentIds = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_type_configurable')->getParentIdsByChild($mageProduct->getId());
we can use in block file,magento 2,
protected $_catalogProductTypeConfigurable;
public function __construct(
\Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Context $context,
//for getting parent id of simple
\Magento\ConfigurableProduct\Model\ResourceModel\Product\Type\Configurable $catalogProductTypeConfigurable,
array $data = []
) {
//for getting parent id of simple
$this->_catalogProductTypeConfigurable = $catalogProductTypeConfigurable;
parent::__construct($context, $data);
}
public function getProductData($id){
$parentByChild = $this->_catalogProductTypeConfigurable->getParentIdsByChild($id);
if(isset($parentByChild[0])){
//set id as parent product id...
$id = $parentByChild[0];
}
return $id;
}
You may use:
$product->getTypeInstance();
Which will return the type object of your product
Then you can perform your:
->getParentIdsByChild()
Giving finally:
$product->getTypeInstance()->getParentIdsByChild($child->getId());
You can just call both and offer a fall-back as it should be one or the other:
if($product->getTypeId() == "simple"){
$parentIds = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_grouped')->getParentIdsByChild($product->getId());
if(!$parentIds)
$parentIds = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')->getParentIdsByChild($product->getId());
if(isset($parentIds[0])){
$parent = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($parentIds[0]);
// do stuff here
}
}
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.
