LiquidFractal Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 I say "again" because I know this has been mentioned before. Can we possibly get Category functionality for blogs?
Meddysong Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Yes, please. Without categories, it doesn't take many blogs for things to become unwieldy.

Quite honestly, while I love what's been done with Blogs so far, if they can't be organised into Categories they just list as some amorphous mass... To use my own situation as an example, I have a series of public and user blogs but I'd also like a separate private Category with which to organise my Client (b)logs.
PrettyPixels Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Yes to blog categories! These are sorely needed.
Joel R Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Are you all asking for categories for blogs? Or categories within a blog?

Although categories for blogs is more or a priority for my site's needs. 8 hours ago, AlexWright said: For blogs, would be nice. We use ours as a Literature area. So having Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, etc. would be nice. This is exactly the same way we use blogs. We really need a way to categorize and/or sort the main list by topic or genre. I'd also love to see custom fields for blogs, but that's for another topic. Categories within blogs are also a great idea. Ideally, this would be controlled by permissions so we could disable it by user group.

MMXII Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 But please, IPS, make categories behave like filters and not like categories! If I have a menu structure like this - Food -- Apples -- Bananas I want both Apples and Banana content to be displayed under the Food menu and not another "There is nothing here yet" block (like we have it in Downloads categories).
Meddysong Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 17 minutes ago, MMXII said: There is nothing here yet" block (like we have it in Downloads categories) I'll give that a +1. Such a frustrating part of Downloads and inconsistent with how other apps in the suite are.
JoshB84 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 I would like this functionality too. I think this can be done using Pages though. Like how it is being done on the IPS News page using blogs. https://invisioncommunity.com/news How to replicate something like this? I don't know at the moment. Maybe I will try to hire someone to make a custom blog page for me.
