How to fetch categories of an article in joomla?

Question

I have a joomla theme and bringing latest recent 6 articles, now i want to print categories of those articles as well on my theme. I'm new in joomla any help please

Answer 1

You should check out any Joomla Module which displays latest articles. There you can see how they access category names. Maybe you can use the module directly. Checkout the helper.php from \\modules\\mod_articles_latest.

Answer 2

You don't say what version you are using but it's a standard parameter option to display an article's category. Look in the long list of options for show/hide category and set it to show.
