   Hello!

   How can i get the current category slug (and category id too) on the category archive page?

   I need it to make some lists of popular posts on the category page too.

   <?php
   $cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
   $cat_id = $cat->cat_ID;
   $cat_name = $cat->name;
   $cat_slug = $cat->slug;
   ?>

   Hat Tip for that code.

   That gets you your first request. On the second, if you're looking to order posts by comment count, use query_posts and the orderby parameter.
