the title of the article is working fine, but the category of the current article is not working where should i found the $custom_text variable to add the $article->cat and also how do i make the $article->cat in to a text link?

knock knock

Try doing a var_dump() of the $article Object to see the properties.

eg:

var_dump($article);

That should show you which is the correct category property.

I don't now how to use var_dump(), I've try var_dump($article); and there are message showing this

object(stdClass)#261 (46) { ["id"]=> string(4) "4625" ["title"]=> string(51)
["alias"]=> string(49) "test article" ["title_alias"]=> string(0) "" ["introtext"]=> string(647)

Please look for category or cat in the output, or post the whole output of var_dump().

I think this is the whole result btw the title of the article is "Hajime No Ippo: New Challenger Episode 1: Episode 1" and the category is Hajime No Ippo: New Challenger
