I need to show articles in several different categories, for example accounting software reviews might need to go into both software and accounting sections. There are extensions that can do this in entirely native Joomla – what is the best way with Teline V?

Hi @pugwash94,
I’m not entirely sure about your concern here, any sample site of how you want to achieve?
Currently under development http://obviousreally.com.
Example might be a piece of accounting software that should appear in both "Technology" and "Finance".
Another example would be a website I will be providing for Complexity Science. There I might have an article on "Agent Based Modelling" which should appear in a category of that name but also in categories related to "Biology" and "Banking" . I know this last example may sound weird to those not involved in Complexity Science but it really is the case.

Hi
I got your point but in Joomla each article should belong to only one category only. You will need to use a 3rd party extension to achieve that way.
Yes, I realise I need a third party extension – I have generally used K2 and a suitable extension there. I was just wondering if there was any guidance on what works well with Teline V because I have found the odd conflict with some of the things I have wanted to use.

We follow the default feature of Joomla so it can’t be assigned to multiple categories. If you use 3rd party extension and have conflict with our template, let us know if we can help something.

Would duplicating the article and adding a bit e.g. -category_name on the end of the article’s alias work?

Yeah, you will have 2 articles with same content but that solution can be helpful in case you only duplicate some articles.
The problem with duplicating articles is the impact it is likely to have on SEO and Google’s view of it.
I am also going to want to display curated collections that have been built up over a series of "editions" of the publication.
Any ideas?

I’m not quite sure of how you want it should be, any sample link?
I have identified how to solve the "curation" problem. It will be a little complex on the category structure and on the access control on the article submission.
One of the things we will be doing as part the entire exercise is developing a much more extensive meta-data setup to make use of web3 in a much more interesting way than is currently available. We would probably look at using drupal for this because of its integration with fedora commons. However, there is no reason why we cannot use Joomla as a test bed. The ideal candidate for testing is a news site and we have the opportunity to develop a number of news sites and the Teline V template is obviously very good.
Is there anyone at Joomlart I can talk to?
