Disable categories

How do i disable categories?

When set to ‘no’, category options will be removed from the article create/edit window, as well as from the navigation options above.

(from textpattern help)
and this..

Both categories and sections are optional. If you elect not to use sections (under the Admin tab), all your articles will be displayed using the same page (“default”). If you elect not to use categories, then you simply won’t have the option of putting those labels on your articles.

(from http://www.jdueck.net/article/10/textpattern-semantics)

I can’t find this option.

Thankyou, daz

Re: Disable categories

this option might not have been documented yet.
still you might use
<txp:if_category name=“category_to_leave_out”>
<txp:else>
… all the code that shall be displayed without above categories…
</txp:if_category>
in a page.
you might aswell consider saving articles without categories assigned.

Re: Disable categories

dazonic, do you have a link to the first quote, I think that’s outdated by now and we should fix it.

I think at some point in the (far) past, there was a preference for this, but it got removed, because it made things needlessly complicated. If you want to hide the UI-elements on the admin-side that relate to this, you can use a plugin (I wrote about customizing the textpattern admin-area on the weblog, and included a link to the relevant plugins).
