TDBF Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Would there be a possibility to upgrade Pages to allow Pages Multiple Categories per Article/Item please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Rex Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 So what you're saying is currently you can only assign one category to an article or item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not a “Pages” thing. A big change in the Core would be necessary to accomplish that. I honestly wouldn’t wait for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wouldn’t wait for this. Being only able to select 1 category is so 2000......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opentype Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 It’s a structural decision to tie objects to one parent container or not. There are pros and cons for both choices. So the argument it’s outdated (“2000”) doesn’t really work. Look at the file system of any computer. You put a file (“the original”) in ONE folder within nested folders. That’s exactly what the IPS framework does. There is also nothing wrong with more choices, but as Adriano said, if the core doesn’t support that, it’s not easy to just add that as a feature to Pages for example. Maybe it can be revisited for 5.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP V0RT3X Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 It's not unusual for CMS nowadays to have multiple categories for one article. Best example is WordPress which is the most popular content management system ever. I think it would be great to have such a feature in pages too.

opentype Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The structural problem in Pages is that a record is not only virtually tied to the category, but also in the URL, e.g. page/category/record-r1 With this setup, you can’t easily assign multiple categories, since that would creative different URLs for the same record. Or you need some kind of alias forwarding hack, which might not be very user friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
