I am trying to display a category name in a module position.

I tried:

<?php echo $listing['Category']['title'];?>

It did not work.

I followed this link, but it shows the article title and I need the category one. I'm working on Joomla 1.7.

Much more simple answer:

<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->category_title);?>
