Category view: listing sub-category items and titles

Hi,
I am using a category view to list all sub-category items, which is a cool feature that was missing two years ago. Is there a possibility to also display the sub-category category titles before the sub-category items list?

The Faq template does this, it works well when all items is in a single page

but if you have pagination, then it may happen that items from same subcategory are split to multiple pages

so if you need pages , please test first,

i want to examine if we can make some change to the category model to allow FAQ and similar templates to overcome the above limitation

I don't need pagination. I am using one single FC template (and I have to drop the name here, because she is the best designer I know and designed ONE FC template for us with all kind of views: Angie Radtke). It would be nice if I could just add the sub-category category title somewhere.

Yes, you can make a single DB query to retrieve the category title for all your items, just a few questions

- you want the category title for the main category of the item? or all categories of items ?
- you want to make the subcategory title to be a link to the category
- you want to group together items from the same main category ?

Here is a link: www.muenstermann.com/anwendungsb ... ehmen.html

The article "German Kiln Technology (GKT)" is in a sub-category of "Partnerunternehmen" I want to have the sub-category category title above the article(s). After the first subcategory with its items there will be a second and so on:

Category title
Category description

Sub-category 1 title
Sub-category 1 description
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

Sub-category 2 title
Sub-category 2 description
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

This would also be helpful for contact lists or a restaurant menu where you have one page with all subcategories including the items!

To get the title of the main category of an item use:
