Magento 1.8 – How to Get Root Category ID in Admin Product Grid

catalogmagento-1.8stores

I have multi-website, multi-store magento installation. Each store have different root category.

I have created admin users for each store and restricted access to their related store.

In each admin panel product grid I have to display his product only.

So I want to filter each product before display in grid, To do this i need the root category id of current logged in admin.

But whenever I try to get current admin store root category, the value is zero.

So the questions are:

How can I get currently logged in admin store's root category?
How can I get each product root category?

Thanks in Advance..

What you are describing is no standard behaviour of magento, so depending on how this is all implemented, we might help you. Can you describe how the users are connected with the stores?

If you know the user, then you know the store.

Just to make sure we are talking about the Same things where:

Website ->    Store ->     StoreView (I'll use this naming)
because magento internally (on php class level) uses other terms:
Website -> Store Group -> Store

If you know the store, you can get directly the root category id: $store->getRootCategoryId().

If this return 0, then $store is admin. So you "only" need to get the correct store.

Magento – Products from outside store’s root category showing up on frontend – Is this right

It sounds to me like it's functioning as intended. When not in any category on a site, products are still navigable where the URL is known. And if they are visible in search as well as the catalog, they will also show up in search results regardless of their presence in a category belonging to the given store. I'm not certain, but I think they will also show up in the site map under these circumstances.

Since you are now sharing logins, and the products are technically available for being displayed on the store view, the URLs will be generated or them in places such as the cart, where they might have been added from a different store view.
