displaying site-wide categories content
By Anil
I've created site-wide categories such as Music, Sports, Hobbies etc.
I'd like to display these on the top menu so that within a category, all the groups, blogs etc are displayed. So far, I haven't found a way to do that.
If that's not possible, I really don't understand the purpose of Site-Wide Categories.

You must log in to post replies.SiteWide Categories does allow searching via those special tags - if you look thru the entities content.
What you've described -- searching for only specific entity | subtypes -- can be coded with some browsing thru some appropriate examples of the API calls - either in the core or on some PlugIns.
What you want just happens to be a specialized application for SiteWide Tags and it's just not done 'out-of-the-box' by the Core, I guess...
I would like to agree on what Anil is saying. It is very strange having a plugin in the core that is not able to be used.. Of course you could create a plugin pulling out the entities, but this should already be a part of the site wide plugin. Like hypejunction Categories plugin..
Is this what y'all tawking about ?
Yeah, where did you get that from?
found it floating around in one of my test elgg installs..;-O
Haha, your so funny.. :) Can you share the plugin? Tried to search for it, but with no luck.. Bad Elgg searchengine for plugins, google only way.
