Hi, is there a way to select more than 1 categorie for one article. for instance, if I have an xbox 360 and ps3 category and the news is for a game that is being developed on both consoles, i would like to select both categories so when doing a manual search or browsing itcan be found under both. Perhaps a tags system would work better. Any ideas?

This is a feature requested by many Joomla users.

Here’s a non-commercial plugin:

Multiple Category Blog Layout

Other than that you’d have to buy a third party software like:

Mosets Tree

Wow. I thought that by now there could be a hack solution for it, rather than, you know have to create a “multi” category. to have all the aticles I need.

I had problems with the first free plugin you gave me. I installed it but joomla gets a 404 when trying to access it in the admin area :S

:confused:

I cheat with this one. Create article in Category 1, then simply ‘copy’ article to Category 2!

It arrives in both, no problem!

Works for me 😀

well, I thought of that but, how to overcome the problem of the article displaying twice on “latest topics” and other related modules.

Once I copy the article, I modify the heading a little bit!

For instance:

Halo Triple Pack for Xbox 360
PS3 gets Halo Triple Pack

Not perfect, but as I said, works for me!!
