Hi,

There are certain Blog Posts that we want to appear in several specific categories.

How do we assign the post specifici, multiple categories to achieve this?

We are running Joomla 1.5 and Easyblog 3.0.7987

Regards,
Peter RF - CommunityUK
This is helpful, but I'd like to say that being able to assign a post to multiple categories is a VERY basic feature. It's available on Wordpress. If it's good enough for Wordpress, I can't imagine that EasyBlog users would have unique concerns by category. Wordpress is the standard and the only reason I am using EasyBlog is because of other components e.g. JReviews that did not have a Wordpress equivalent (at least not of the same calibre). I needed a blog to go along. it would be great if EasyBlog would strive towards the Wordpress standard.

Hello Peter,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We are already considering this for the future major version of EasyBlog. Thanks for your insight on this.

Cheers!

Hello,

I keep reading forum posts suggesting to use tags as a way to achieve multiple categories but no one has explained how to do that. Can you elaborate? I am in the same situation where the client is specifically asking to tag blog posts to show them in different categories. How would I get tagged posts to show under a category?

I am running the latest release of joomla and easyblog.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

I am sorry for the late reply.
You can achieved this by assigning the same tag for different blogpost. Hence, you can filter the blogpost using tag and have a multiple categories blogpost. For example,
blogpost-A has tag-B,
blogpost-b has tag-B

So, by clicking at tag-B, this two blogpost will be displayed in which it's "illustrate" the multiple category for blogpost.

Hope I have explained this well. If you have anymore question, please do not hesitate to ask us.
