Posts in more than one category

Post by accampbell »

I'm sure I used to be able to have posts listed with more than one category but now I can't seem to get it to work. Can someone kindly remind me of how to do this please?

Listed or submit to multiple categories?
The latter is possible by cklicking the + sign for cats and select multiple ones by [Ctrl]-mark.

Yes, that's what I remember doing previously, but now I can't get it to work. I ctrl-click two categories and they are highlighted, but I have to go back by clicking the plus sign and then I have only one category, as before. Something seems to have changed in the system.

I tried with two browsers (firefox and chromium) but neither will work.

Do you remember when it worked before? Which S9y? I have a current 1.7.3-dev + a 1.7.4 here which work ok, The latterly 1.7.5 was just a textile PHP 5.2 bugfix, therefore not a target for this kind of issue.
Did you care to update your template party-brown to hold all the needed fixes which came to happen with S9y-1.7 Series?

My first interpretation of this was "submitted with multiple cats marked and then, coming back to that entry, was unselected in the selectbox...", but maybe this wasn't what you meant. Just to clear this up: You have to submit them marked as is, not re-cklick the +/- before submit! :) (That is btw the way it worked before too, since the +/- changes the selectbox itself, not only being an opener/closer event.)

OK, my mistake. In fact, the categories had been updated as I intended but I thought they hadn't. (The print was small and my eyes are not too good at present.) Thanks for your help.
