Display the blog post category through variable

It's the standard blog post stuff, as in your open graph meta tutorial.

Will this help?

My post

    $post = perch_blog_custom(array(
    'filter'        => 'postSlug',
    'match'         => 'eq',
    'value'         => perch_get('s'),
    'skip-template' => 'true',
    'return-html'   => 'true',
));

my portfolio

    $product_details = perch_content_custom('Portfolio', array(
     'template' => 'portfolio_item.html',
     'filter' => 'slug',
     'match' => 'eq',
     'value'         => perch_get('s'),
     'skip-template' => 'true',
     'return-html'   => 'true',
));

Array ( [0] => Array ( [image] => /perch/resources/perch-logo-1.png [description] => My main reason that I want to move my site from WordPress to Perch is that im hooked on making my site the best it can be. In terms of speed and efficiency. [categories] => Array ( [0] => blog/news/ ) [itemID] => 29 [postID] => 29 [postTitle] => Migrating from WordPress to Perch CMS [postSlug] => migrating-from-wordpress-to-perch-cms [postDateTime] => 2015-03-08 00:26:00 [postDescRaw] =>

Ok, so by that ouput I used [categories] like so:

$cat         = ($post['0']['categories']);

and I get:

<meta property="article:section" content="blog/news/" />

It spits out the URL not the name, so we're nearly there

How do I implement that in my code, as above?

I have this as my variables, they all work except the og_cat

    perch_page_attributes_extend(array(
    'og_description' => $description,
    'og_title'       => $title,
    'og_type'        => 'article',
    'og_image'       => $fbimage,
    'og_author'      => 'https://www.facebook.com/kieranfivestars',
    'og_tag'         => $tag,
    'og_cat'         => $cat,
));

then my $cat field is

    $cat         = ($post['0']['categories']);

Its for the meta data in my head.

Do I just drop it in the post.php? it doesn't change anything.

It gives me the correct category wrapped inside h4 tag and a ul

I can't work out where I would put that in the code given?

Cheers

So like this?

foreach($cat as $categoryPath) {
 perch_category($categoryPath, array(
 'skip-template' => 'true',
));
}

I've given up on this, it's not worth the effort for something not that important, its just holding me back.
