Magento's theme hierarchy

Magento's theme hierarchy

1. If a custom theme is specified, the application looks for the requested file in:

• 1. app/design/frontend/custom_package/custom_theme
• 2. skin/frontend/custom_package/custom_theme

2. If the file is not found in the custom theme, the application moves up a level and
looks for it in:

• 1. app/design/frontend/custom_package/default
• 2. skin/frontend/custom_package/default

3. If not found in the default , the application looks for the requested file in:

• 1. app/design/frontend/base/default
• 2. skin/frontend/base/default

4. If not found, a rendering error will occur.

Filtering categories in the permalink structure

The way to remove the parent category from a permalink when using the

 /%category%/%postname%/ custom structure 

add_filter( 'post_link', 'remove_parent_cats_from_link', 10, 3 );
function remove_parent_cats_from_link( $permalink, $post, $leavename )
{
 $permalink = str_replace( $parentcats, '', $permalink );
 }
$cats = get_the_category( $post->ID );
    
if ( $cats ) {
        
// Make sure we use the same start cat as the permalink generator
        
usort( $cats, '_usort_terms_by_ID' ); // order by ID
       
 $category = $cats[0]->slug;
       
 if ( $parent = $cats[0]->parent ) 

    
    {
   
// If there are parent categories, collect them and replace them in the link
            
$parentcats = get_category_parents( $parent, false, '/', true );
  
// str_replace() is not the best solution if you can have duplicates:
 
// myexamplesite.com/luxemburg/luxemburg/ will be stripped down to myexamplesite.com/
// But if you don't expect that, it should work
            
    }
    return $permalink;
