What solution do you use to overcome the limitation of only being able to choose one category per Article?

I need to post an Article in multiple sections/categories.

Select the article and press ‘copy’ at the top right of the screen.

Ah but that simple solution has lots of baggage not the least of which would be having to update the same content in 2, 3,4,5,6 different places. I was hoping for a recommendation of an extension that someone has used and really likes.

I’ve not come across any other method or component, so I use Jay’s method of ‘copy’. Not perfect though by any means!

Also, you should put a ‘noindex’ in the robots meta-data info so that Google doesn’t penalise you for duplicate content!

There is a commercial version of what you’re asking for.

Look at http://www.mosets.com/tree

Somewhat pricey too…

Hope this helps,
