Magento: Get category object from category name
Although this is very weird, to get category object (id, entity_type_id, attribute_set_id, children, etc.) from category name, sometimes it may be useful. Below lines of code will help you in getting it.
$cat = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/category_collection')->addFieldToFilter('name', 'Category_Name_Here'); | |
print_r($cat->getData()); |
To get the category id from $cat object, simply use:
$cat->getFirstItem()->getEntityId(); |
Beware, the name should only return one category else the above query will return first category id no matter how many categories are retrieved.
