    I noticed that the Category problem was not included in this version:

    Added: [#15297] Plain text
    Added: [#13187] Multilanguage
    Added: [#13181] Short URLs
    Added: [#15256] change layout -> overview
    Added: [#15254] missing visual feedback
    Added: [#15479] Layout plugin management (permission control on both layout and content plugins)
    Added: [#15477] Edit mode: enable/disable display of edit-this links
    Redesigned main editing page list
    Changed URLs to various lists. Now we have
    func=main (sitemap)
    func=list (simple bulleted list of pages)
    func=categories (list of categories with links to simple list)
    func=extlist (extended list display the header content area of each page)
    func=sitemap (nested bulleted list of all pages)
    Added German, Spanish and French translation
    Adjusted permission control.
    All rules are now uppercase "C" in "Content"
    Changed copyright notice to cover whole team
    Bugfix: could not save secondary categories
    Bugfix: [#15395] Page title E_ALL issue
    Bugfix: [#15370] Sort order doesn't work
    Bugfix: [#15295] unclosed DIV
    Bugfix: [#15483] "previous" jumps to wrong place
    Bugfix: [#15496] Formatting Correction in "Add new content to page"
    Bugfix: [#15322] Admin display messed with 3 column theme
    Bugfix: [#15298] Plain text causes PN to hang
    Bugfix: [#15350] Scribite and content make two editors in one time
    Bugfix: [#15466] Flickr Field can't be empty
    Bugfix: [#15399] Ajax shift in Pager Edit
    Bugfix: [#15497] Error after drag&drop
    Bugfix: [#15716] Blank index.html in folders
    Bugfix: [#15727] Windows image database file in SVN
    Bugfix: [#15373] MySQL 5 Strict mode error when creating new content
    Bugfix: [#15761] securityschema
    Bugfix: [#15917] CSS problem with float/clear

    This is something I posted in the 1.1 feedback topic:

    QuoteAlso, something that has already been mentioned, The Global categories are the only ones that appear to be working with the content module. I would consider this a bug as you should be able to assign module specific categories using category registry, but it doesn't work currently for Content.

    Thanks and I'll keep testing!


    I guess I never submitted a bug for this, but maybe I'm the problem.

    Can someone else confirm they are having problems using anything other than the global categories with the content module?

    You can select your own categories to be used by Content (as you can/should-be-able-to-do with all Category aware modules). Go to admin::categories::category registry (index.php?module=Categories&type=admin&func=editregistry). Here you can select what categories to use.

    I realize that's how you should be able to do it. What I am saying is on 3 different .8RC3 sites, reassigning the category for the content module does not work. The Global categories remain after changing it in the category registry. Someone else experienced this besides me in the other forum. I was just trying to confirm if it was an actual problem.

    Did you upgrade your RC3 to SVNs?

    Categories module may need upgrading as well.

    Well, you can learn to use SVN-- which is great.. but a little confusing at first.. on windows tortiseSVN is easy enough for a client.

    Else..

    Download the SVN snapshot from the menu on the left and just do a file replace... minding your third party customizations and personal core files eg. config files.

    I cannot say if this is your 'why' but I think it maybe worth checking out. Please report back either way if you update to SVN. and we will take it from there.

    Thanks for all your participation in the final RCs, and sharing with the community!

    grab the latest extract it.. and see what you got there...

    If you are concerned about screwing something up.. you can create a subdirectory...

    domain.tld/svn/ add the SVN version here...

    then populate the other stuff with COPIES of your working site... and test it.. If all is good.. just swap directories.

    I am assuming you are going to use some common sense with my 5 line upgrade directions icon_wink . I think should be able to handle it. Don't delete anything until 'you are sure' rule applies as always. Make sure you can go back, if you have to.

    SVN and RC3 are for testing... so things may or may not break.. good luck.

    If you have any issues, let us know.. we always try to help where we can.

    Thanks again.

    Before you waste your time on that then gi'me some time to verify if it's a hardwired categori in Content.

    Waste of time... lol.. pnPractice, makes pnPerfect! The categories module has be updated quite a bit and the VAs as well to use the cats. For bug finding alone it is worth the upgrade to an SVN.

    It seems to be a problem between the interaction of Content and the Category Registry. The registry setup by Content during module initialization cannot be repeated in the user interface of the cat.reg.

    Whatever it is - it requires some fixing. Maybe in both modules. I'll look into it.

    Try this:

    1) Edit the registry such that Content points to table "content_page" and property is "primary" and the category is something you select yourself.

    2) Modify Content's pnedit.php such that the code that fetches $mainCategory refers to 'content_page' instead of 'page' ($mainCategory is only mentioned in *one* place).

    Please let me know if it works.

    Thanks for the information. I have not had a chance to test this yet but will soon. Sorry- just other projects going... Thanks Jorn!
