Re: How2 quick insert link to category in article?
2Els – not completly. I meen i want to insert link to category, for example in article i want to have link to category “another_category”. Attention :) – link not to assigned to article category, but link to separate category.
For ex.:
<txp:category name="another_category" title="1" link="1" wraptag="p" />
As far as i have a lot of categories it’s hard to insert required category.

Re: How2 quick insert link to category in article?
Okay, so you want to link to a certain category from within an article? And the category you want to link to can vary per article? What about using a custom field where you enter the category, and asy_wondertag. You could put this in your article form:
<txp:asy_wondertag><txp:category name="<txp:custom_field name="cat" />" title="1" link="1" /></txp:asy_wondertag>If you wanted to link to more than one category you could also enter a comma separated list in the custom field, and use <txp:category_list categories="<txp:custom_field name="cat" />" /> (with asy_wondertag of course).
Is this what you meant?
Edit: but if you meant you’d like to be able to choose a category from a dropdown list, you’d need a plugin and as far as I know it doesn’t exist (yet).

Els – thanks for brilliant idea about categories :) It seems to be simple non-plugin decision of multi-categories :)
But i need exactly that what you wrote after edit:

Uh, the category tag accepts a name attribute.

Ofcourse, but if you have hundred categories and there name a transliterated from сyrillic (russain language) it’s rather hard to remember the name of category ;)

Victor, just thought of something. Are you using both category 1 and 2? Because if not, you could use category 2 instead of the custom field and have your dropdown list.

Thanks… Nice idea. Since I’m using rss_unilmited_categories I can use one of dropdown category lists. It remains to engage jquery :)
