Show a "Category" column in the Content > Articles tab
Anyone know how to do this? I am building a site in which numerous articles have the same title and are distinguished by their category classification. It would be very helpful to add a column to the Content > Articles tab and populate it with the categories to which the article belongs.

couldn’t you just click on “show detail”?

Indeed I could do that but it gets a bit hairy keeping track when there are numerous articles with the same title.

If you use ‘show detail’ and search title&body for the articles in question, you’d have all articles with the same title and their categories listed.

It sure is one of the best plugins ever developed for Txp – can’t imagine being without it anymore :-)
