Thanks that works great Philipp. Just one thing, I wanted it to be a hyperlink and go to that category on the site. I had a think about how this may work but couldn't figure it out. I imagine it really isn't hard!! How would I do this?

You need to add the following PHP part to the articles_pages template:
Then you can use {$insert['article_category']} in the HTML part
global $database;
$result = $database -> dbquery( "SELECT articlecat_name FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "esselbach_ct_articlescats WHERE articlecat_id = '" . $insert['article_category'] . "'" );
list( $insert['article_category'] ) = $database -> dbrow( $result );
Then you can use {$insert['article_category']} in the HTML part

You need to edit the templates news_story and news_story_extended
Add the following in the PHP part:
Then you can use the variable $forum_link, which contains the link to the forum in the HTML part. For example:
For the articles module you need to edit the templates articles_summary and articles_pages.
The PHP part is slightly different:
Then you can use the same HTML part in the templates:
Add the following in the PHP part:
global $uwrapper;
$forum_link = $uwrapper -> getthreadlink( $insert[ 'newsstory_thread' ] );
Then you can use the variable $forum_link, which contains the link to the forum in the HTML part. For example:
<a href="https://www.contentteller.com/{$forum_link}">Discuss in forum</a>
For the articles module you need to edit the templates articles_summary and articles_pages.
The PHP part is slightly different:
global $uwrapper;
$forum_link = $uwrapper -> getthreadlink( $insert[ 'article_thread' ] );
Then you can use the same HTML part in the templates:
<a href="https://www.contentteller.com/{$forum_link}">Discuss in forum</a>
Hello,
I would like to add a link next to the "comments" at the top of news/articles so that users can go straight to the coresponding thread on the forums. How can I do this?
Thanks
