Finding the Category Number (ID)

[JMC]

The setup/admin area does not seem to present the actual category numbers used to identify each category. Took a look in the calendar MySQL table for a clue and it seems to be encoded in there, rather than a plain integer. I wasn't able to find a table where the categories are stored.

How do I find the ID# of each category to use in a scripted filter such as: $showCat="X";

Otherwise I'm very much enjoying this calendar tool!
Many thanks.

It's in the Event Admin. Just pick a category from the filter or advance filter. After filtering, click the yellow filter table and you will be taken to the advance filter screen where the catID will be displayed (in the yellow table).

Many thanks Brian! :clap:
It is a little hidden.
