[request] Create a category on-the-fly

Is there a way to add an article category directly in the write tab?

Not yet, but I have a plugin in mind to do it. It’s really simple; just need a bit of free time to do it.

I’ll wait it!
I’m sure you’ll do a great plug-in like others smd.
Thanks Stef

Hi Edoardo

if you need to create new categories on-the-fly from the write tab then I’m sure Stef’s upcoming plugin will do a fantastic job. In the meantime, and if it suits your needs, you can achieve something similar using tru_tags.

I had a spare 20 minutes so I wrote a version and mailed it to him already :-)

Less then 50 lines of code: damn, I love pluggable_ui(). It only allows you to add (unlimited) cats to the root node right now and assigns the first two to the article. I might alter that so you can create them beneath a parent at some point.

Stef

did you just upgrade your cranial capacity or something? How many dribbles gribbles of power have you under the hood?

Yes but note the beta is your best bet. Untested on 4.5.x but it’ll mostly work (aside from maybe on the Write tab after save because of the new AJAX saves). I’ll update it officially at some point to 4.5.x.
