Re: [Aki] and there were two of them...
Hello Aki 
VERY NICE first try!! I believe we're almost there. It makes cute and complete multi-select list. But there are still some bugs:
1) The categories are not listed in ABC order - that wouldn't be a problem if you have 10 categories, but it becomes nasty bug if you have more than 100 of them (I have)
2) Let's say I add a link to three categories, then - the admin validates a link. BUT - when I (as an user who added the link) go to modify that link, ONLY ONE of the selected categories is shown (I tried it 2 times and it was in both cases the first one from the ABC point of view)
3) Third point is indeed not a bug, but it is an small thing and I think it would ease the use of this multi-select a lot. Is it possible to add the list of the previously selected categories above the multi-select box? (Exactly as it is in the admin section). So that user wouldn't have to scroll all around the multi-select box to see what categories (s)he has selected long time ago.
4) This is also not a bug. Just curious: Do you know of any way how to limit (I feel the JavaScript would be the best) the number of categories selected? For example if user would select more than three categories it would pop up some error window. If you don't know, don't worry about that, I will perhaps take a look for it and then post it here.
OR could your code be modified to limit the number of categories selected and if this number is exceeded to return standard error code?
I hope if we will finisht this it would be a very nice mod for many users
Thank you for helping, have a nice day, hasta luego
