Getting the category from a URL is somewhat involved, but not impossible. This is an example of what you can do with filters.
Why
It is often useful to use a page's category to present it on the page itself or to look up related content. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for getting a page's category in a template.
I have a page with url of the form /my_category, /my_category/id, or /my_category/id/slug. How can I retrieve the category from the url?
Assumptions
Readers are assumed to be comfortable with template development.
How
Since category is a direct property of m_rsc we can directly access it:
{% with id.category as my_cat %}
...
{% endwith %}
