One item TO multiple categories was created by siamnaulak
Hi, I am not sure if my question is practical :). By default one item can be assign to one category. Is there any option to assign one item to multiple categories? If yes, how do I do this?
Or, is there any extension available to achieve the same?
Thanks

Hey! Just adding something: I know this tool and I tried it before, however it misses something that is vital. It would be awesome if by doing so, by having multiple categories, it would be able to assign multiple extra fields groups to the item.
Example:
I have these categories: Cat1 and Cat2
Cat1 has ExF1 as Extra Field Group applied to it.
So, Cat1 >> ExF1 and Cat2 >> ExF2
It would be very useful if I could create Item1 and apply it to both categories: Cat1 and Cat2, and therefore, Item1 would have ExF1 and ExF2 to fill in.
Thank you!

K2 V3 will have this functionality, but I do not know how well it will play with this extension.

Krikor,
Are you saying that the new version will have the ability to assign a K2 item to multiple categories?
That would be SO fantastic. I am testing now the Additional Categories for K2 that Leftiris suggested I try in another thread and it is certainly working but it requires me a hack of some K2 code. I would LOVE this functionality without hacking any of the K2 code.
I will install the latest build and play with it tomorrow.
Thank you, Sean Carney

K2 v3 will not have multiple categories per item. What Krikor wrote is that in K2v3 a category can have more than one extra field groups.

Thank you @Leftiris,
I knew he was referring to one or the other. :-) Anyhow, I do appreciate knowing. Looks like I will have to use the Additional Categories for K2 plugin. I am testing it and it is working although I sure do wish that I did not have to hack core K2 files in order to get it to display the counts in the proper categories. :-)
I may just decide not to display any counts as long as everything else works well.
I do appreciate your telling me about this extension.

FYI: We have used Additional Categories for K2 plugin in a couple of our tourism related directory websites. I have noticed that the plugin seems to add .75 - 1 second delay (TTFB) in K2 category item view.
I'm hoping the developer will deal with this.
I know this a pretty big ask for Joomlaworks, but adding multi-categorization for items would be a pretty great feature.
Otherwise, being able to create different tags based on category would be a fantastic way of dealing with this.
Thanks!

Hello Jack,
Unfortunately, we have decided against this feature.
As for the delay, try enabling cache. It will really speedup your site.

Krikor,
Have you decided never to have some type of multiple or additional categories in K2?
I had thought it was something that was slated for a version 3.x?
I sure wish you had it. It is the only thing I keep bumping up against that makes regret K2. Otherwise I LOVE K2.

Actually we have decided against it.
The additional categories for K2 dev might consider supporting v3.
We can put pressure on him :)
