What code would I use to echo the current category and current category alias (from within the category.php override file)?

Hello Joe,

You can use
This way you can see all of the available options.

To print them use:
This method also work for the item, category item (and on).
Instead of category you should item or plain $this, depending on which file you are editing.

Thanks @Krikor for ALWAYS being so helpful

How can I use the same category alias for multiple categories?
Do I need to go into the DB?

I receive the following message...

Notice: Duplicate title alias entry detected. A number has been appended to the existing title alias to avoid URL conflicts. Alternatively, you can simply edit the title alias to your liking, as long as it doesn't conflict with another item's title alias.

You 're welcome Joe :)

If you use the same alias, K2 cannot differentiate these categories (same as WP). A category needs a distinct alias.

What code would I use for the following...

<? if url path == 'category-1/subcategory-a' ?>
Hello World
<?php endif; ?>

It would be better to check the category's id $this->category->id .
