Code to display articles from category ID?

What would be the code to display articles from category (specified by ID)?

In Wordpress this is fairly easy by doing:

<?php
   query_posts('cat=1');
   while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   the_title();
   endwhile;
?>

I'm looking for similar code for Joomla.

Solution

  • There is no direct code for getting this in joomla like word press.

    If you want to check the code you can check the code for achieving this by following path.

    components/com_content/view/category/view.html.php

and 
components/com_content/view/category/tmpl/blog.php

    According to my Guess your requirement is to display the articles from same category.

    then in joomla you dont need to edit in any code. for achieving this you can simply create a menu. and menu layout type should be category blog and Choose your category from the right side category options.

    This will get the complete article from that category.

    If you want to manage it in your style you can add style based on blog.php file .

    Hope this will help you..
