The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I installed within seconds, configured within minutes. It did exactly what it said it would and worked just fine. Great way to solve Joomla's weakness, without any hacking whatsoever. Congratulations to the author. Exceptional work!

Wow! What a product and what a deal! (FREE). I am putting together a pretty complex site and was rather surprised that Joomla! does not include basic features such as sub-section/category options or options to link articles to multiple categories and subcategories and cross linking. But after a lot of searching, and wanting to try to start with something free if possible with an extremely limited budget, I found this module/extension. At first it took a little bit of figuring out (the documentation helped), but then once I learned how to find the simple integration through the main menu subcategories option that came with the module, everything took off in rapid form. I was able to quickly and efficiently link the menu items to categories and subcategories with the module and integrate with Joomla basic tie together articles as desired. You can set up articles and link them either from the categories module or directly from the article (though a drop down link at the bottom of the article) and instantly link to pretty much any number of categories and subcategories just by clicking! That's it and you're done! I was even able to successfully bypass the sections area completely and go straight to categories and subcategories using the module to get everything done. This is probably the best module, besides the test editing modules, that I have come across for Joomla. I just about gave up on Joomla for some of my needs until I found this module. Very, very, very well done to the developers! The fact that you have contributed such a great quality product for free to the public makes you, in my mind, as legendary to the contribution to Joomla as the great editor modules. As the the tea cup on Beauty and the Beast said after playing with the inventor's experiment - "You guys have got to try this thing!"
Thank you and keep up the great work - it is very much appreciated!

I want a direct access for this exte. I wonted to not so the creator.... in categories... what mast to do ! Thanks!!!

If you want second level or third level category to come up in the category blog layout...wont happen. It would really have been very helpful if this option could somehow work.

This plugin is great and a real life saver. Takes a little while to figure out (maybe needs some better instructions) but its very easy to configure and set up.

Once its up and running its a REAL LIFE SAVER.. Thanks for making this..

ps. I had to change the CSS file on my template.css & layout.css as when I make the menu use this plugin as its preferred blog layout, it never put each of the articles in their own shaded box, but some CSS fixed that .. Also the hit counter will not appear with this plugin on my site..

Hi,

well, it's a nice idea and a nice basic approach to solve the problem of the existing lack for multiple categories in Joomla. It's easy to install and nice to customize but there're still problems with some links to articles from modules which are not covered by this tool. The plugin pPGallery is also not supported.

Maybe there will be a more complete next version.

Thanks for the support

This excellent component saves my life almost a year. I recommend it to anyone who needs more than 2 levels structure website as a musthave extension. Many thanks to author!

I include file in my articles using "Attachments for content articles" extension (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/directory-a-documentation/downloads/3115?qh=YToxOntpOjA7czoxMToiYXR0YWNobWVudHMiO30%3D).
I have assigned two categories (with "Multicategories") to my articles and than I have created one menu-item of type "multicategories" for each category. Now when I click on the menu-item I get the list of all articles associated with the specific multicategory. But the articles don't display the table with the attachments.

I need two things for my site:

1. In category blog, it should show the article as thumbnails only, that will link to the real article when it is clicked. I use the BK-Multithumb.

2. I need multi category for my article. I've already tried another multi category extension. But in category blog, it doesn't cooperate with BK-Multithumb. The articles are shown fully, not thumbnailed.

This MULTICATEGORIES extension solves it :)
Great job.

PS: I still have one problem with the breadcrumbs. The category/menu created by MULTICATEGORIES is not shown by breadcrumbs once we arrive to the article. Joomla breadcrumbs is still using old joomla category on it.

I really enjoyed using this component, and found it to be a really quick install and quite functional. The only drawbacks I faced were minor CSS disruptions and the inability to use Jcomments in accordance with Multi-Categories. Since my comment system is quite important to my site, I wasn't able to use this component to the best of its ability.

Thank you for wonderfull extension! As a native joomla core don't have subcategories this is the good solution which can solve this problem without changing of joomla core code as jSoblod for exsample. So it can be easely updated or removed. Easy to use simply choose subcategoriy type item while creating new menu item to necessary settings and enjoy multilevel categories.
Great job! Well done;) Waiting for updates.

i tried to install it on 1.5.15 and i got a blank screen , also it does not support seo friendly links .

I had to go with jseblod CCK just to use the multi-categories function. If all you need is multi subcategories and want to keep it simple and light, this is definitely your solution. I would recommend this download thousand times! Thanks guys!

Simple, fast, excellent !
"Single article can be assigned to several categories" and articles can be assigned from the category ich is very useful.

Thanks
