Is there anyway I can add the category banner to the product view page. I tried adding the following code (taken from category/view.phtml) to product/view.phtml but it resulted in a 'fatal call error' can anyone help?
<?php $_product = $this->getProduct(); ?>
<?php
$_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
$_category = $this->getCurrentCategory();
$_imgHtml = '';
if ($_imgUrl = $_category->getImageUrl()) {
$_imgHtml = '<p class="category-image"><img src="'.$_imgUrl.'" alt="'.$this->escapeHtml($_category->getName()).'" title="'.$this->escapeHtml($_category->getName()).'" /></p>';
$_imgHtml = $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_imgHtml, 'image');
}
?>
<?php if($_imgUrl): ?>
<?php echo $_imgHtml ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<script type="text/javascript">

You can not fulfill your requirement easily
There have few conditions for showing the category images at product view
If current product url is contain category path.Then from registry variable
Mage::registry('current_category')
.You can getcategory object
easily.Then you getcategory banner
If
this registry variable does not give result
then you need to getcategory id's
from product(getCategory())
.Then using category model,you can get that particulate product categories banner images.
Add
<?php $_product = $this->getProduct(); ?>
code at top of product/view.phtml
