Display category name in forum topics?

Hi all,

I would like to display the category name in both the forum topics and the forum posts pages.  I've been fooling around with it for a while with no success.  Anybody have an easy solution?

Thanks, Jim

Thanks Jámal ...

Now, I'm sure that sounds real easy to you, but as I am an ASP dabbler who mostly copies and pastes code from one place to another I'm not sure what that entails.   

Now, I can follow along in the default.asp page and see the flow of code related to categories, but I'm not sure how much of that is actually needed for this task, nor how to query regarding the particular forum or which part makes for the saving to a variable. 

I've done a lot of guessing and experimenting with a few things and surprisingly for me it often works.  I'm just at an impasse since I can't find the needed code in the pages to do what I want.  One day I'll most likely pick up an ASP book and learn it from the ground up, but that day is not today. 

Should you decide to help me any further it will be appreciated, and if not, it will be understood. 

Thanks, Jim

I just created a MOD to do this for you.

The problem with passing the Category ID is that it would be possible to produce a category ID that did not exist in the database and thus would not return the correct name. By querying it from the Forum ID you are guaranteed to get the correct Category ID for the froum

Any time you pass information via the querystring if opens it up for your users to change that information. This means that the information has to be checked to insure that it is at least of the variable type you need. This is an unnecessary step when the information is easily and more accurately queried from the database.

I wouldn't call you way wrong or incorrect, just not the simplest or more straightforward method of getting the data.
