NP_MultipleCategories

Multiple Categories

Save the 0.1 PluginCode/0.5.1j PluginCode as NP_MultipleCategories.php in your plugins folder.

v. 0.5.1j: Save the folder “multiplecategories” to your plugins folder.

v. 0.1: If you want to make it work for existing items, you must open ITEM.php in your libs folder and make a change. At around 156 you will find a call to PreUpdateItem which will be followed by a query for updating the item. After that line, add the following line,

$manager->notify('PostUpdateItem',array('itemid' => $itemid));

So after editing my item.php looks like,

$manager->notify('PreUpdateItem',array('itemid' => $itemid, 'title' => &$title, 'body' => &$body, 'more' => &$more, 'blog' => &$blog, 'closed' => &$closed, 'catid' => &$catid));
 
// update item itsself	
$query =  'UPDATE '.sql_table('item')
             . ' SET' 
             . " ibody='". addslashes($body) ."',"
             . " ititle='" . addslashes($title) . "',"
             . " imore='" . addslashes($more) . "',"
             . " iclosed=" . intval($closed) . ","
             . " icat=" . intval($catid);
 
$manager->notify('PostUpdateItem',array('itemid' => $itemid));

Note : I am using the item.php from 2.5 cvs. In 2.5 beta, the lines might look different. Only the new line I asked you to enter matters.

All versions: Go to add item edit and scroll down. You will see how to assign multiple categories.

Instead of <%blog..%> in your skin, You can use any of the following,

<%MultipleCategories(template_name)%> <%MultipleCategories(template_name,number_of_entries)%> <%MultipleCategories(template_name,number_of_entries,category_name)%>

In your template;

Put <%MultipleCategories%> instead of the categories link and name.
