show category id inside widget

[sakkoulas]

Hi everyone,

i am a little confused 

is it possible for a widget  to show the id of the page that render it? so the widget can have a selector that filters results by the id of that particular page?

thanks.

What exactly do you mean with Widget? I've never used a thing called widget.... But if you render a page with $page->render(); why not echo $page->id?

@Harmster, he means the ID of the page from where render is called.

@sakkoulas, you can use any of these techniques http://processwire.com/talk/topic/3660-what-page-was-the-caller-of-render/

I ended up with this

$categoryUrl = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$categoryToRender = explode("/", $categoryUrl);
$category= $pages->find("categories.name=$categoryToRender[2]");
