Re: Of Textpattern and Orthogonal Classification

This is exactly what I went looking for when I first tried TextPattern and was disappointed to find it lacking a structure more than 2 levels deep considering how nice everything else fell together. mattmoss has expressed it far more detailed than I did, I was looking for soemthing as simple as Dean’s example only with a couple of more levels deep. :-)

Dean’s example is about categories. And in fact with 4.0 you can have arbitrarily deeply nested categories. So if you meant what you wrote, it’s already here. ;)

Re: Of Textpattern and Orthogonal Classification

I’m sorry to bring this old post up again, but shouldn’t it be nice if an article can have unlimited categories assigned, instead of two (as in V4.0.3)

I also think that it would also be nice if url-rewrite can be extended, so that it includes the categories:
/category/subcategory/subcategory/titel
/category/subcategory/subcategory/id

As in Matt’s example, the article would then be reachable via each of these three URL’s:

• http://…site_url…/Data/USA/Oklahoma/OklahomaOilAndGasWells
• http://…site_url…/Data/NAD83/OklahomaStatePlaneNorth/OklahomaOilAndGasWells
• http://…site_url…/Data/Infrastructure/OilAndGas/OklahomaOilAndGasWells

Another advantage of this approach is that you can leave out the ‘sections’, but then you’ll have to move the template and css-management to the category-level instead of on the sections-level as it is right now.

My apologies for my (perhaps) not correct English, but I hope that you understand my point here.

Re: Of Textpattern and Orthogonal Classification

This is a point already much discussed, and sub-sections are the solution.
