Adding Category Names to page-title.php in Minimum 2.0

[Ted]

I'm developing a site for a client that will rely heavily on categories for navigating.

I'd like to add the name of the blog category to the Page Title areafor posts and archive pages that fall within that category.

For example, say I've got a category named 'Beauty.' For the archive pages and posts that are in that category, where it normally says, 'From the Blog' in the Page Title area, I'd like it to say, 'Beauty.'

I'm playing around with the page-title.php file but really just guessing at what I'm doing.

Any help would be awesome!!

Thanks!

Just to followup. I've added similar code for each category, to the page-title.php file:

elseif ( is_category(beauty)|| is_singular() ) {
echo '<div id="page-title"><div class="wrap"><p>' . __( 'Beauty News, Tips and more...', 'minimum' ) . '<a class="page-title-button" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ImagePerceptionsInc">' . __( 'Subscribe', 'minimum' ) . '</a></p></div></div>';
}

There are 9 categories that this applies to. I was hoping to figure out code that would just require one piece of code that would just automatically grab the category name so there wasn't so much repetition in the code.... but this does what I need.

I'd like to do something similar as well, except that I don't want to hard code the categories into the page-title.php file as you have.

Also, for a few pages, I'd like the actual page name to be in the page-title area. But so far, can't get that to work. Not quite sure how to call it.

Any ideas?
