Description 1monkey 2010-03-03 19:01:39 UTC
Since I have already got CategoryOnUpload extention installed, when I uplad a new file there is a drop down menu for that, and the select boxes for the SelectCategory extention. I can use both, but after uploading, only the category selected via the CategoryOnUpload dropdown was written to the file upload.

Also, the number of categories can make the list a bit long on the edit page. There may be a better method and more compact method to input the desired categories. Maybe even just a table so there are more than on column.
Comment 1 1monkey 2010-03-03 19:03:26 UTC
Another idea:

I would like to be able to use just the CategoryOnUpload extention on the file uploads, then just the SelectCategory extention on page edits.
Comment 2 1monkey 2010-03-06 22:28:12 UTC
What would solve my present problem would be just a method to exclude the SelectCategory extention from the upload page. Then I could use both without conflict. This may be possible by using Namespaces, but I'm not sure exactly how. 

Next in line would be a few clues and an example on how to format the SelectCategory extention on the Edit page. The huge volume of the selection boxes which occur above the Save Page button is too much. It should be consolidated into a drop down of some sort, or just be placed lower down than the Save Page button, so that the page can be save without having to scroll down so far. And I only have about 50 categories in my wiki. It would be worse in a wiki with even more categories.
