Subject: Category Name in Velocity Report instead of Path?
Using the .categoryPathName was able to convert the path data into the actual category name and is showing up in the report in a readable way!
Thank you Iwan!

Hello,
I am not sure about the exact difference to DAOs and I'm also no familiar with it. According to my understanding, with the #set($docus = $documentSource) you get the DAO. When there is a report without using the "context", the $documentList is empty. You can get the document IDs like this for e.g. project ID 113:
#set($docus = $documentSource)#set( $docuIds = $docus.getActiveDocumentIdsInProject(113))#foreach ($docuId in $docuIds) #set( $categories = []) #set( $categories = $docus.getAllCategoryPathsByDocumentId($docuId)) #if( !$categories.isEmpty() ) <tbody> <tr><td>$docus.getDocument($docuId).documentKey</td><td> #foreach( $cat in $categories) <br>$cat.categoryPathName</br> #end </td> #end </tr></tbody>#end

Thank you for the example!
Is there a version cutoff for access to categories though the Velocity DAOs?

Hello
I also spent some time figuring out how to extract the categories. Here is an example of a code snippet that can be used get the categories in an HTML page. To get only the "category name" out of the "category path", I have used the function Substring:
<html><head> <title>Example Report Categories</title></head>#set($docus = $documentSource)<table> <thead><tr> <th>ID</th> <th>Category Path</th> <th>Category Name</th> </tr></thead>#foreach ($vDoc in $documentList) #set( $doc = $vDoc.document ) <tbody> <tr><td>$doc.documentKey</td> #set( $categories = []) #set( $categories = $docus.getAllCategoryPathsByDocumentId($doc.id)) <td> #foreach( $cat in $categories) <br>$cat.categoryPathName</br> #end </td><td> #foreach( $cat in $categories) #set( $catPath = $cat.categoryPathName ) <br>$catPath.substring($catPath.lastIndexOf("/") + 1)</br> #end </td></tr></tbody>#end</table></body></html>

#set( $docCategories = $catDao.getAllCategoryPathsByDocumentId($vDoc.document.id)) does not even return a list for me, empty or otherwise, for an item ID that I know has Category Paths associated with it. I realize the shape of the list contents varies between tag and categories. Do you have an example of how to access categories for an item by id correctly and, as Charlotte states above, retrieve their names?

In velocity reports, how do you convert the Category Path from getAllCategoryPathsByDocumentId(java.lang.Integer documentIds) to the name of the category?
For tags I used:
#set( $docTags = $tagDao.getAllTagsByDocumentId($vDoc.document.id))
...
#foreach( $dt in $docTags)
$dt.tagName
But the synonymous version below doesn't work and I can't find a method to convert the path (ex. com.jamasoftware.contour.categories.model.CategoryPathInfo@2d06b650) to the readable category name
#set( $docCategories = $catDao.getAllCategoryPathsByDocumentId($vDoc.document.id))
...
#foreach( $dc in $docCategories)
$dc.categoryName
