Re: more article categories

You could try rss_unlimited_categories (now run by makss) which is the closest equivalent for articles.

Or you can go a different route and try smd_tags which eschews categories in favour of tagging content (articles, images, files, …) using custom tag hierarchies and permitting them to be filtered from the URL. You can also link tags to categories, so selecting particular Txp categories reduces the set of tags available. Handy for large taxonomies.

There’s also a simpler middle ground tru_tags which uses the Txp Keywords field to list tags.

Those are the only options I’m aware of / can remember right now.

Are you using the plugin’s rss_uc_* tags to show category/article lists? The built-in tags won’t work because the plugin uses its own tables to keep track of cats.
