CG Blog: Suggest Category in Front End Submit Form

Post by beattie »

Does anyone know of a way to add a 'suggest category' field for the front end user in CG Blog? I'd like users to be able to create their own categories but I've tried all sorts of solutions and not getting anywhere ...

By the way, here is the website, your feedback is welcome! http://www.kidsblogs.com.au

I believe creating categories is an admin side function only...

Yes, that's the problem. I can't find a way for the front end user to create their own category. You see, I'd like users to be able to create blog categories and then filter the view of their blogs by category.

Have been thinking... I might try creating a customised field called for instance 'create-category'. If I put the custom field in the feusubmit template and add some 'if not empty' code, then I think I am half way there. Then I can give the user the option to filter the blog view by the value of the custom field. Not sure if I am making myself clear in this explanation, but I'm going to give it a try and see how I go. Will post my success or failure here!
