Adding a link to multiple categories

[craven]

I feel this is a very important addition to the program. We should be able to add a single link to multiple categories all at one time. Or if you have a link already you can through admin and add it to more categories. Minimum of 3 categories!

Example: A link to a museum in Iowa would be listed under MUSEUMS and under IOWA and under ATRACTIONS. This is very important and I need this hack bad!

Please Help me out with this one!

Thanks,

Craven

It would be great to have this feature. Make my life more simpler. Hopefully in the next version!

I've already talked to dody about this inportant feature, since we all know that some links may fall into many categories. It has been considered and will be worked into INDEXU because it surely is a necessity feature. As for the time frame or the next release, i can't confirm but what I can say is that this has been seriously discussed. What have been talking about is how to go about setting up this feature for submission.

My thoughts are to have 5 tables of drop down menus for categories and the user select each category.

Another feature I would like to have is to have it refresh back to the add a link feature as oppose to be clicking back button or add link again.

I want it to be flexible so that we as adminsitrators can choose how many categories can be submitted to.

Yeah. I had also suggested that feature that allowed the admin to decide how many drop tables would be allowed to show up, but I'm not sure how dody will go about this. Last time i talked to dody, it was for 5 drop down menus.

I'd also like to be able to disable and enable registration for those who wish to write reviews.


A refresh feature would be great after adding links.

A way to organize your categories by numbering them would also be great.

Rating casted in written reviews should also be fixed to count towards overall rating, which it currently doesn't.

These are just a few suggestions that I myself would like to see. I 'm not sure if they will be taken into account in the next release, but sometimes I like to dream.

Have you seen the multiple category that the In-Link script has? It's pretty nice. Like to see something along that line.

The next release has to have this feature!!! I think a related category feature is a must have too. I have sub categories that seem to fall under more than one main category also.

These are must have features that have to be in the next release! I've been waiting way too long for these features. DODY please be sure to include these!!!

Hi,

If you go back to the add link page after adding a link, then you would lose all the information in the form that is there if you click the back button. I've added many links with similar information by using the back button and just changing the few things that were different.

Herb,

The problem is that you get the same link indexed more than once. Not only does this take up more room in your databse but it looks terrible having the same link show up more than once when performing searches.

By adding the ability to add to multiple categories you would use less space and searches would look better! Most other scripts have this feature and this one needs it.

Has anyone worked on this further? I think it would be a great feature as I have many links that are duplicated several times throughout the categories. Has anyone hacked this in?
