Hi I wonder if you can already put the blog in multiple categories, in a previous post I found that was supposed to be in version 3 was going to be able to but I do not see how.

Hello Jorge,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Yes, it was intended to be added into version 3 but there's some road blocks that prevented us from allowing the blog post to be posted into multiple categories. The main reason? the access control level on each category. It's kinda confusing because imagine if you create a blog post titled "hello world" and filed it under "category A" and "category B".

In the category settings,

category A - allows public viewing
category B - only allow private viewing

So, if a public user tries to view your blog post, should it use the access control from category A or category B? Although we can apply "deny rule always win", it's going to be really complicated in the future as we can foresee user's asking

1. Why can't public users view my blog post??
2. Why is my private blog post available publicly??

We can already see all these support request examples on Joomla 3.2's ACL and EasyBlog's internal ACL already

Hi Mark also like to know if this function will be developed at some time or if you already do it withdrew, another point is that in my case all categories are public only thing I need is to put a post in two or more categories.
Regards.

I am looking for this exact feature as well.

Any more thoughts on it?

I came across RSForm Pro SQL mapping feature and was wondering if it can be used to accomplish this result?

Hey Petar,

EasyBlog 5.x already allows you to post to multiple categories. Am I missing anything here?
