Hi JS team,

I'd like to ask if is it possible to display the video's category in /community/videos/display page?

Thanks in advance!

Hi.

But they are displayed: prntscr.com/88m76x


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you

Thanks for the reply Michal and my apologies for the confusion.

What I mean is, the video category will show in description area because I'm planning is to place it beside the uploader's name.
Pls refer to this sample: prntscr.com/89em82

Hi.

You'll need to write additional query to database to display category name as variable $video contains only category ID ($video->category_id). So that's only number. But having this number you may "ask"database for category name.

You should be interested in this file:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/videos/list.php

But of course don't edit it in core file system but do an override: documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Customizing_Template

This article should help you to create query: docs.joomla.org/Selecting_data_using_JDatabase

Video categories names are stored in _community_videos_category
