Display category in project page

[franksvamp]

Hey there!

I was wondering if there was a way to display the categories of a project in the project's page.

Best case scenario would be to give it a specific div so I can style each category.

Do you think it would be possible? That could be done with some PHP code right? or should I manually write the project categories for each project? (preferably not hehe)

Best,

Frank

Dear Frank

@franksvamp

Sorry that i cant go deeper into custom coding at the moment but in my opinion this would be best ( i'm not always right, and i'm sure you already knew this 🌝 )

I hope some other users speak up too!

For example the category data (id's) is stored in the body of your project:

You could use these to your advantage, or use jQuery to return values of categories as well

https://laytheme.com/documentation/custom-javascript.html

See what you get in the developer console when this is added:

<script>
window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
	console.log("layoutObj", layoutObj);
	console.log("type", type);
	console.log("obj", obj);
});
</script>

Hey @Richard ,

indeed I get an array with the "catid" values.

However I'm struggling to get the category names out of the id.

@Richard @Armin-Unruh ,
Do you think I should write a custom jquery script that translates each number to it's actual category name? and then for each category, display it as a button?

Or is there a way easier way that I'm not aware of?
my first obvious solution was to PHP get-category, but I see that it is impossible in Laytheme, right?
