Helle every one,
I have a menu with
Category
-sub Cat 1
--sub Cat 1
-- ...
-sub Cat 2
-...

when I click on one of these category it just shows the list of article in this category.

My probleme is that I want that user add article from the frontend, they can add an article in all categories, but I want that they did not need to enter the correct category.
Is it possible to just click on add a new article, and that the category is automatically set from the section where it stands? Also it should put the parent category also:
example:
Movie
-Die Hard
--die hard 1
--die hard 2
...
TvSHows
-Arrested Development
--Season 1
....

if a user click on die hard 1 and add a new article, this article should be tagged with the category: die hard 1, Die Hard and Movie automatically, with the Movie as main cat.

Is it possible?

Thank you

Hello

latest development revisions
you can have per content type

-- ACL permissions for changing main/secondary/featured categories

-- parameters for main and for secondary item categories
(a) allowed category tree
(b) default (category ids) values


you may try/test them, there will be a nightly build in our downloads section before end of week

Regards

Ok, thanks.

But finally I find it was possible by creating a menu with an add article link, that use the FEXIcontent "Formulaire de saisie" in french, don't know the name in english version. In this "Formulaire de saisie" you can automatically set all categories that you want.


Thank you

EDIT: So I think you can close this topic now

Hello

setting the categories via menu override works only for initial submission, if the user can edit the article then he can change the categories initially set via the menu override

it is better to use r1951+ to disallow changing category assignments

will make a downloadable nightly build in our downloads section before end of week
