Extracting category when dealing with a category page?
Via $myspecialvar = $GLOBALS[‘thisarticle’][‘category1’]; I can read out the category that an article belongs to and re-use that information.
But how do I get the current category in the $myspecialvar when I am dealing with a category page?
I know about things like <txp:if_article_category name=“categoryname”> but I am not sure it will help.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Re: Extracting category when dealing with a category page?
are you asking how to get the current category while in a category page? <txp:category /> ??? i’m not sure why you would want/need to extract this from that array.

Hi iblastoff,
Just to put it in the $myspecialvar and then have a php script do something. Is that possible?

sorry,
So something like
<txp:php>
global $myspecialvar;
$myspecialvar = “<txp:category />;
</txp:php>
would do the trick?

More like:
<txp:php>
global $myspecialvar, $pretext;
$myspecialvar = $pretext['c'];
</txp:php>Offline
