Re: [Tiki-users] How to get category name by its id

Hi Ilya

Yes, there a catch using plugin list to find categories - by default categories aren't "searchable" but they are indexed, so there's an ugly parameter searchable_only on plugin list to allow you to do that, like this:

{LIST(searchable_only="0")}
  {filter type="category"}
  {filter field="object_id" exact="4"}
  {OUTPUT()}{display name="title"}{OUTPUT}
{LIST}

Not totally sure why it's like this, it just is! :)
