getting the current category for an article was created by rottenberg

Hello,
The Core variable 'categories' gives the category names which the article is connected.

Is it possible to know which is the current category ?

Ex article has main category : A and secondary categories : B,C and D.

I display the category 'D' page. I select an article. Is it possible to get as current category :'D'.

I want to display on the page a Universal module (option select) to display the title of all other articles connected to this category.

Thank you for advices

best regards

Michel

thank you very much.

I have update the template corresponding to the article type.

A question :
If I update the /tmpl_common/item_layout/modular_html5.php to get the info in all template, shall this file (modular_html5.php) be erased and replaced by a new one when upgrading FC) ?

If true I shall loose the customization.

thank you for advices
