Summary0023341: inferring the current category
Description

Hello,

The following custom function statement will set to the variable "$t_project_name" the current project that has been selected:

$t_project_name = project_get_name( helper_get_current_project() );

Is there a similar helper function available to set to a variable the current category that has been chosen (in particular, when the user is on the report issue page)?

Thanks,
Ryan.

in particular, when the user is on the report issue page

The category is not known to PHP (the server) as long as you are on the report page.
It's known to PHP after you submitted the report.
You have to use JavaScript (on client side) if you want to access the the chosen category while you are on the report page.

helfy022,

This is not a bug or feature request for MantisBT (you are asking for help on how to writing extensions for MantisBT). I am therefore resolving this issue as "no change required".

Please use the forums to get support on customizing and using MantisBT (refer to http://www.mantisbt.org/support.php for links and further details).
