Create multiple sections or categories

Hello,

with Cobalt you have to create each category manually. If you now SQL you can try do it with query directly in database. Create one category manually and setup all properties, then use same Mysql client (e.g. phpMyAdmin) dump one row from table #_js_res_categories with this category. You must have row like this "INSERT INTO ..._js_res_categories .... ;" , multiply this row 200 times end edit each one. After all execute all this queries in one time.

Another way is to use multilevelselect field as categories. Then you cal load many values (categories) with simple TXT file.

Hi, thx for answers, like the idea of using multilevelselct field as categories but can field values then be in url...ex. site.com/section/fieldvalue or even without /section part?

No it will not be in URL.

OK thx, but filter link still works in Cobalt7 like in Mighty Resources? ex. http://www.domain.com/section/?ext_filterID []=value

Right. If you make this field filterable and enable values as links you may simply copy links right from articles.

I decided to go with multilevelselect field but cannot get constructer to work. Somehow ctrl+enter doesn't save values! Even if I want to add value from frontend and when I click add button it says "Level is required, please select value". I'm using Cobalt 7. Tried on another installation with J3 an Co8 and it works OK.

Checking..

Tried in Firefox and it works, Chrome doesn't!

We checked an fixed field 'multilevelselect' .

Thank you.
