mod_custom category name 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
Greetings from Australia,

Thank you for your work, I am using Sourcerer.
I am hoping someone can help me.


I have 12 categories published as blogs linked via menu buttons.
I want to make 1 header template file using php that will print the category name.

I tried to use mod_custom add place it on each of the menu items, but I can not seem to retrieve the category name.

I have used this code:

{source}<?php global $Catid; ?>
<?php echo $category->title; ?>{/source}


Any suggetions?

Again thank you
Rick

The category name is not stored in the global variables. Also the $catid may not be present as global.
So you'll have to grab the catid from the url and do a database search for the title. try:
{source}<?php
$view = JRequest::getCmd( 'view' );
$id = JRequest::getInt( 'id' );
if ( $view == 'category' && $id ) {
$query = "
SELECT title FROM #__categories
WHERE id = ".(int) $id."
LIMIT 1;
";
$database->setQuery( $query );
$category = $database->loadResult();
echo '<h1>'.$category.'</h1>';
}
?>{/source}
