[voltan]

Hello
Thank you for your hard work on article module, every day I check new changes and its grate. we worked on news system ( by x2 ) for some of our customers. after finish that , we found some of important lost features on our work that needed by customers, I see you do some of they in new module , but some other still missing here:

1- multi category
2- file manager ( support play video , play audio and show images as gallery )
3- assortment files on upload folder by year/month or perhaps type
4- spotlight manager
5- we need to many view options for templates on each category

Thanks

I'm sorry for replying so late because I have not noticed the issue.

1. Is the multi-category means an article can belongs to more than one category, current article module only supports one article belongs to one category, but the implementation method of multi-category is under consideration. @taiwen might given some solutions;
2. We take file management as media component, and an other develop is working with it;
3. This has been considered, and we design three type for users to choose, which are y/m/d, y/m, ym;
4. I do not have a clear concept of it, can you please take an example;
5. Multi-templates for category is not considered, I should discuss with @taiwen first.

Thanks.

Thanks for reply, it good news for me to see your plan,
About multi category , DJ used it on his article module for x2 , I used same solution on my news module , after some test I sow it father than single category method on big table and high visit, working on this option is very easy too, I did it just on two days , in your free time please think about it, its very useful option

About spotlite , I think about option for select top articles for show on each category header and top of list of last category, it good if Adam select articles Manuel and set publish and expaier time ,

Multi view options for category , can help to admin for design better layout, it need just son yes / no options and some view template , I add more information on this repo wiki , and you can check my news module too

Thanks
