I need to output the category for an entry a few times in an entry’s template.

So I want to get the output from the following and assign to a variable so I can reuse within the template:

{exp:channel:entries channel="product" limit="1" status="open"}
    {categories}{category_name}{/categories}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Note - the variable won’t be passed to an template to embed, but used in the template itself.

How do it do that?

Hi onblur,

There isn’t anything built-in to ExpressionEngine that allows you to re-use parts of code like that however if you take a look on devot-ee.com there are a few items that might well help you out with this :

MX Jumper

Stash

NSM Transplant

Does that help at all?

Thanks,

Mark
