Get category title in the tags view

Hello!

Is it possible to get a category title along with the items title in the tags view? Looking through the code I did not find a proper way to do it. Of course I can get a category based on the item ID, but this will create one additional request per item which is not good for performance.

Hello

ok but you that you want to create a Joomla template override?
-- the category titles and a few other category tree stuff are alway available via a cached global object $globalcats:

make a Joomla template override of
components/com_flexicontent/views/tags/tmpl/default.php
copying it to
templates/joomla_template/html/com_flexicontent/tags/default.php

-- and inside the override you can use:

global $globalcats;
echo $globalcats[$item->catid]->title;

but may be you can avoid the override, although an override is not bad at this point, since you would want to customize tag view ... because of not having a template layout like category and items view


NOTE: v2.2.1
will render tags and favourites
via the category model/view/templates/
(old way will remain for compatibility)

now all other LISTING views already use the category model:
view=category
view=category && layout=mcats
view=category && layout=author
view=category && layout=myitems

thus our "category layout" of FLEXIcontent templates will be usable in all listing view
-- the DB model and templates are already prepared to support this behaviour
