News Module: How can I add news to more than one Cat without...

Post by sarah_h »

...duplicating content?

I know I can add news to one category, but if I have categories like this:

Local Issues
Common Complaints

How could I add one news item, which relates to both, to both categories?

I must admit I find the news module quite confusing but I see its potential at the same time, very frustrating!

Anyway, any help on this would be gratefully received.

News doesn't support articles being in more than one category.  So, without duplicating content, you can't.

The only work around atm is to have 3 cat., catA, catB, catC, then when you have an article that could relate to either catA or catB use catC and in the tag put catA & catC, catB & catC...

Maybe you can use the Calendar module to put content in specific categories, as that gives the opportunity to put events in multiple categories...
