Hello,
I'v set up Article Category ID field to be a simple dropdown, where I assign Category=ID to get the article placed in the right category when the form saves.
This works.
When I get to the templating part of using this field i have to echo $cck->getText( 'art_catid' ); to get the category name instead of the ID.
I had to do this because all the other fields that was related to category showed wrong ID's and was just far off.
And now the problem is that I can't link to the category. All I find out is how to link to the article (link + view).
I hope I'm way off and that there is another and more correct way of doing this?

Hi Kenneth,
In the Content section, have you tried the Category Title field? That should show the category title in which the article is assigned.
Hope that helps,
Randy

Hello, and thanks for your answer. I tried that, but it shows the wrong categories. :/
Maybe I've missed something regarding categories and Seblod..
