Share categories and tags across blogs?

Open matt-bailey opened this issue 11 years ago • 5 comments

I'm currently planning out a site that may have two blogs on it and I'd like each blog to share the same categories and tags.

I know that out-of-the-box this isn't possible, but do you think it's even remotely plausible?

I suppose another option would be to have nested (sub) categories, so I could have two top-level categories and then all my other categories as sub-categories. Then tags would be shared across all posts anyway. Is this a possibility do you think?

Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

Sorry its taken so long to reply.

My thoughts on this are that you could probably extend the models and add this functionality in yourself, or i'd be happy to look over a PR that makes this easier to add.

I'd be looking for something that keeps the same behaviour by default, but you can disable it and roll your own without battling against what's already there.

@sunnysideup nope, but this module is now maintained over at https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog

Happy to look over a PR there.

Hi Michael,

Thank you... Sorry, I did not pay too much attention last night... We will probably release a tiny add-on module for the blog that does the stuff described above.

Sounds good. If you could post a link here once done I'll close this ticket.
