How do i get a list of categories in Plugin?

sahotataran

I want to add Select Category to Feed Discussions where i can Add Feed URl to go to specific category rather than going to ROOT category.
Anybody can help me with that?

I recommend turning on the debugger plugin and checking out all of the stuff in the Controller Data section. You can access that stuff from $Sender->Data() in most event handlers.

i managed to understand to add
$cateModel = new CategoryModel();
$cateModel -> GetAll();
print_r($cateModel); // to print the array i get from CategoryModel

But how to get only specific values eg CategoryID, CategoryName etc from the array that comes out to be
CategoryModel Object ( [Data] => [Database] => Gdn_DatabaseDebug Object ( [_ExecutionTime:protected] => 0.0073261260986328 [_Queries:protected] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [Sql] => select u.* from GDN_User u where u.UserID = :uUserID [Parameters] => Array ( [:uUserID] => 1 ) [Method] => UserModel->GetSession('1') ) [1] => Array ( [Sql] => set names 'utf8' [Parameters] => [Method] => UserModel->GetSession('1') ) [2] => Array ( [Sql] => select DISTINCT(fl.ForeignID) as `NumFlaggedItems` from GDN_Flag fl group by ForeignURL [Parameters] => Array ( ) [Method] => call_user_func(array('0' => ?OBJECT?, '1' => 'Controller_Index'), ?OBJECT?) ) [3] => Array ( [Sql] => select c.ParentCategoryID as `ParentCategoryID`, c.CategoryID as `CategoryID`, c.TreeLeft as `TreeLeft`, c.TreeRight as `TreeRight`, c.Depth as `Depth`, c.Name as `Name`, c.Description as `Description`, c.CountDiscussions as `CountDiscussions`, c.CountComments as `CountComments`, c.AllowDiscussions as `AllowDiscussions`, c.UrlCode as `UrlCode`, c.PermissionCategoryID as `PermissionCategoryID` from GDN_Category c order by TreeLeft asc [Parameters] => Array ( ) [Method] => CategoryModel->GetAll() ) ) [_QueryTimes:protected] => Array ( [0] => 0.0001680850982666 [1] => 0.0044810771942139 [2] => 0.0019569396972656 [3] => 0.00072002410888672 ) [ClassName] => Gdn_DatabaseDebug [_CurrentResultSet:Gdn_Database:private] => Gdn_DataSet Object ( [Connection] => PDO Object ( ) [_Cursor:Gdn_DataSet:private] => -1 [_DatasetType:protected] => object [_EOF:protected] => [_PDOStatement:Gdn_DataSet:private] => [_Result:protected] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [ParentCategoryID] => 0 [CategoryID] => -1 [TreeLeft] => 1 [TreeRight] => 14 [Depth] => 0 [Name] => Root [Description] => Root of category tree.
