Show parent root category of category field (code included) was created by jrodgar

Hi!

Would like to share this. I used it on the template to show the parent root of a subcategory. It´s implemented on the template, but I think it would be better as part of the "category" field. It´s something like this:

Code:

<?php if ($field->name == "categories") : ?>
						<?php 						
							preg_match_all("/fc_category_(\d+)/",$field->display, $matches);
							$categoriesID = $matches[1];
							
							//Get Category Parent Category
							$categoriesModel = JCategories::getInstance('content');
							$parentCategories = "";
							foreach ($categoriesID as $categoryId) {
								$category = $categoriesModel->get($categoryId);
								$parent = $category;
								while ($parent->getParent()->id != "root") {
									$parent = $parent->getParent();
								}
								if($parent->id != "root" && $parent->id != $category->id){           
								    $parentCategories .= print_r($categoriesModel->get($parent->id)->title,true)." ";
								}
							}
							$parentCategories = $parentCategories ? $parentCategories."- " : "";
						?>
						<?php endif; ?>
						<div class="flexi value field_<?php echo $field->name; ?>"><?php echo $parentCategories.$field->display; ?></div>
