Adding 'category' to 'new listings' display
On the front page of our site, I am using 'function.new_listings.php' to generate a display on new listings.
I'm looking to add a 'category' field (column) to that display. Have worked out the field name 'section' will generate the category ID. Now I need to convert that ID into the actual name of the category. A hyperlink is not required - just the category name only. Any ideas guys?

Sorry Chaslie I am not a techie but I like the total of members and entries display on your site.
Is that a code I can easily get from one of the tech guys here? Thanks, Mike D. Designer 3.1.5 |

No worries - simply copy and paste this into layout.tpl.php anywhere you wish.

Yes, you have to edit the new listings plugin and then fetch the category name. I've edited the file, let me know and I'll send it via email.
