I am using Opencart 2.2

On landing page of my store I have to show featured products of multiple categories , So i have created 4 featured extensions, assigned them products, enabled them, put them on my page form Design->layout->home and it works perfect. But now I have to render Category name in every featured.tpl . The $heading_title variable gets its value from language which is always the word featured. I want to display extension name in the view, how can i get extension name in featured controller or featured.tpl

Any help?

Did you really change all FEATURED - related values correctly, in each one
of the files, related to such an Extension?
The Files have to be named, by example:
featured.php/or/.tpl - featured2.php/or/.tpl - featured3.php/or/.tpl - e.t.c.
and the corresponding 'internal linking' in the files has to 'match' with it's MASTER

And it will also require some DB-Entries, in the Extension Section, I assume:
table=oc_extension&topTabSet=2 (see image below !)
