Getting the Text Value of a Category Attribute of Type Select

As shown elsewhere, you can add an attribute to the category entity in Magento.  If the attribute is of type select, getting the text value of an option is a bit of a pain:

$category = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/category’)->load(10);

$attribute = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_category', 'myattribute_code');

$text = $attribute->getSource()->getOptionText($category->getMyattributeCode());
