thank you!

I liked the option to hide tabs in new form etc.. but how do I remove categories completely from the form?

I used _skip_ for the tab but it shows categories below

Hello

-- removing the categories selector is not allowed like e.g. for tags or language (for language you can set a default value)


the item's category is required as it is an integral part of the FLEXIcontent item and Joomla articles


i can understand the purpose of this, as this will allow (together with new custom item form layout) to be able to have forms that do not look like an article


- will examine doing this in the next release

- for now maybe this will be useful to you:

a. add a default value in your submit menu item and

b. use the "allow change category privelege" to prevent editor from changing the item's category

Regards

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

thank you ggppdk,

I already did what you suggested I just don't want the drop down to be shown even if they are not possible to change the category.

Just makes the form looks much better that's all. Will stick with the below for now then till next release

Thank you !
