Hi,

I am using the repository module and developping skins. I have an issue with Categories.

It seems that by default the first category is ticked for all upload. I want to remove that.

I need discrete categories ( one upload belong to one category and only one).

I tried to use the Select setting of the [CATEGORIES] token in the form.xml and set value to SINGLE. This work for [ATTRIBUTES] but not for categories.

Do you have any idea where I am wrong and how to avoid the system to select 1st category in the list by default.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Fabian,

Thanks for the answer.

First, just want to say that the repository module is fantastic to store content without setting a 1000 pages web site. I plan to use it extensively. The skining is really a very good point and a lot of features are very nice. I am going into the details to understand how to use it without changing the code.

So going back to categories, I understand your point and how it works. However the issue is that even if I tick one or more categories in the form, the system always assign the item to the first available category, so it seems that the count = 0 test is not done in the proper way ( is it a bug ?).

Also I find out that to get the categories as a single choice ( Radio button) in the form, you need to create the token [Categories] (using lower cases) with Select value to SINGLE. ( Is there also a bug as the same setting for [CATEGORIES] does not work).

Also there is a lot of XML settings which are not documented like Default on SUMMARY and DESCRIPTION, Required on FILE and URL. As I am going to use this extensively, I could review and fix the documentation (Repository Module User's Guide) if you are interested. The document is really good but I could update Appendix A with my findings and some of the remarks done on this forum.

I am out the office for 2 weeks but just ask me around August 27th and I can do it for you.

Regards
