Re: [Piers1] Multiple Category Selection - Revisited
in general I agree.

BUT :

LinksSQL is designed to be a high flexible tool to create web-directories.

It has the flexibility to use different designs (templates), to create plugins, etc.

But to define a limit of categories to which a user can submit a link AT ONCE or to exclude categories from submitting links is still missing and as I think a big loss of flixibility.

If you have a look at the system-immanent features of LinksSQL to have root-categories, subcategories and sub-subcategories it should be clear to everyone, that not everybody wants to have links in his subcategories but only in his sub-subcategories.

At the moment excluding (sub-)categories from submitting links is not possible and so it costs lots of admin-time to make changes during validation of links.

What I want to say with all this is that I think that the functions to define a number of categories where a link can be submitted to and the ability of excluding categories from submitting links SHOULD NOT BE A PLUGIN BUT STANDARD FUNCTIONS OF LINKS SQL ITSELF!
