Assigned Categories and Canonical URIs

[lesliekirk]

I'm using this snippet to find the category a product is assigned to.

<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="CategoryList_Load_Offset_Product_Assigned(l .settings:product:id,0,'','',0,l.null, g.assigned_categories )" />

<mvt:foreach iterator="category" array="global:assigned_categories">
&mvt:category:active;<br>
&mvt:category:code;<br>
&mvt:category:id;<br>
&mvt:category:name;<br>

</mvt:foreach>

I was even able to limit it to display a specific category code

<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="CategoryList_Load_Offset_Product_Assigned(l .settings:product:id,0,'','',0,l.null, g.assigned_categories )" />
<mvt:foreach iterator="category" array="global:assigned_categories">
<mvt:if expr="'Brand' CIN l.settings:category:code">
<a href="/&mvt:category:code;.html"> link </a>
<br>
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>

BUT I hit a gotcha - the site uses a slugified link for the Canonical URI. Is there a way to incorporate the ability to load the Category Canonical URI

<mvt:assign name="l.uri:store_id" value="g.Store:id" />
<mvt:assign name="l.uri:screen" value="''" />
<mvt:assign name="l.uri:page_id" value="0" />
<mvt:assign name="l.uri:cat_id" value="0" />
<mvt:assign name="l.uri:product_id" value="1" />
<mvt:do file="g.Module_Feature_URI_DB" name="l.have_uri" value="URI_Load_Item_Canonical( l.uri, l.settings:canonical_uri )" />
<mvt:if expr="l.have_uri">
&mvt:canonical_uri:canonical; <br>
&mvt:canonical_uri:cat_id;<br>
&mvt:canonical_uri:page_id;<br>
&mvt:canonical_uri:status;<br>
&mvt:canonical_uri:store_id;<br>
&mvt:canonical_uri:uri;<br>
</mvt:if>

Thanks!

Sure, just use:

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Feature_URI_DB" name="l.success" value="URI_Load_Category_Canonical(cat_id, canonical_uri var)" />
