Another excellent add-on from Low. So easy to use, great docs and support. This is a must have if you use category names in your URLs. I’ve just rediscovered it after searching for category group ID on EE forums. Can I suggest category group is added to the tags for it here?

Extremely elegant and greatly simplifies what should be simple in the first place, a must have if working with categories.

Made it really easy to output a category name from a url_title found in a URL segment. Took 30 secs to install and implement. Great add-on!

Greatly simplifies the use of categories. As a novice user I couldnt work out how to use categories without the category trigger in the URL. Enter Seg2Cat. Problem solved, bacon saved.

A great way to get information about your categories just by using whats already in the URI. Simple, yet elegant. A must have if youre working with categories.

Seg2Cat is enormously helpful if youre dealing with categories. It takes care of a seemingly simple thing (just give me the category ID number, please!) I used to write PHP queries to accomplish. Highly recommended!
