wordpress, get category names for a custom post type

Question

Is there a better way to get the category names for a custom post type in wordpress?

Answer 1

    

        
            
name; ?>
        
    

Or in fuctions.php place this:

  function get_the_category_custompost( $id = false, $tcat = 'category' ) {
    $categories = get_the_terms( $id, $tcat );
    if ( ! $categories )
        $categories = array();

    $categories = array_values( $categories );

    foreach ( array_keys( $categories ) as $key ) {
        _make_cat_compat( $categories[$key] );
    }

    return apply_filters( 'get_the_categories', $categories );
}

and call the function as:

ID, 'Your Custom Taxonomy'); ?>
