Hi. How I can display Category Name in a custom template? In Seblod: (JForm - Category), selecting many categories. I try this in a custom template: <?php echo $cck->get('art_catid')->title; ?> but doesn't work. How should I proceed?

Hi Raposa,
Yes, you should use:
echo $cck->getText('art_catid');
echo $cck->get('art_catid')->text;

What syntax would you use for a custom field? I have a field called start_date and I'm having a hard time getting it to show up.

Hello zuber,
depending on how you want to display the date field, you can use
echo $cck->renderField(start_date);
or
echo $cck->getValue(start_date);
The display of dates sometimes is a little tricky, depending on the usecase.
To display the date in a custom format, see my post here.
A good starting point for custom templating is in V2 documentation here.
