Hi,
I'm trying to write a module that outputs the section and categorie name (for Joomla 1.5).

My problem is, that I don't know know how to get the section and categorie ID of the shown page.

Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance,
Tobias

Do you see the id's come up in the URI / URL ? - if so you can get the id like this:


$id = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'id', '' );

Is this the correct way for 1.5?  I thought the mos was no longer used in 1.5.

Sorry I didn't know you were using 1.5... I am sure you can find out the correct function for yourself now that you understand the concept.

I only mentioned that as the OP requested for Joomla 1.5.

Thank you, i thought there is an easier way..

For examble, a URL can look like this:
index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=5&Itemid=54
or: index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=50&Itemid=80
or: index.php?view=article&catid=34:categorie_name&id=45:article_name&option=com_content&Itemid=61

So i have to watch what the "view"-parameter looks like.

But thats fine, i will get along with that.

Thanks!

If anyone has devised a method of displaying the section id or name please post the solution. Thanks...
