I'd like to retrieve the name of a section based on a url segment. Normally I would use {{entry.section.name}}, but this doesn't work, since there is no entry available.
I've got this working:
{% set entry = craft.entries.section(craft.request.getSegment(1)).first %}
<h2>{{entry.section.name}}</h2>
This means that I first have to get an entry and then reverse retrieve the section it belongs to.
Is there no direct way to get the section name based on a url?
