Hello,

I would like to come back to you about the categories.
Many posts have been opened on the forum asking that we can classify a Group or a Page in several categories.
https://stackideas.com/forums/one-group-or-page-in-several-categories
https://stackideas.com/forums/easysocial-pages-to-be-assigned-to-multiple-categories

I know that the issue of ACL is problematic.
But in this case maybe it should be done as for EasyBlog, and always have the Primary Category (which defined the group's ACL parameters).
And then be able to check the Secondaries Categories (just for display in the listing).


Because for Pages, a company can for example be in several categories at the same time.

My question is therefore the following : will it be possible soon to classify a Group or a Page in secondary categories, to improve the listing ?

Sorry for you Mark. I know you don't like to reveal anything about your plans.

Thank you,
Philippe
Hi Philippe,

I have spoken of this to our developer, they inform that it is indeed complicated to achieve as custom fields, workflows, and ACL is tied to categories thus, it is not possible to achieve this at this point in time.
As there is already a few feature request regarding this has been submitted, perhaps, in the future, there is the best way to achieve this

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding, Philippe

Thank you for your message Fadhli

Yes I understand that this is not possible at the moment

For EasyBlog, there is an independent table which saves the posts and the categories associated with them, a table for the ACL parameters of the categories. It could be a model to follow...

Your sentence and your smiley suggest to me that you are seriously considering revising this system.
Am I right to believe it ?...

Hello Muhammad,

I would like to come back to you on this subject a year later.
Because not being able to classify a Page in several categories and sub-categories becomes very disabling.
I am stuck in the evolution of my website.

And now that the MarketPlace exists, I would love to be able to classify items into multiple categories.

Have you been able to think about the solution of this problem ?

Thank you,
Philippe
