    - There are no tags for retrieving the current category ID? Extensions needed?
    - Handling child categories require yet another extension? At 20$, mind you.

    Those seem like the most basic functions ever to me… right?

    Well like my post said, I’d like to get the ID of the currently selected category.
    And using segments and regular expressions on /gallery/C2 URLs is not what I had in mind here. 😉

    Also, I’d like to display the child nodes (subcategories) of the active category.
