[TYPO3-dev] New transparent categorizing of all content element

[Søren Malling]

Hi,

I'm been looking at the current state of category implementation in the
core, and one of the things i really dislike, is that I have to register a
table as "categorizable".

If we are to move TYPO3 to a higher taxonomy level, why not make categories
easily accessible for the editor, newbie and the hardcore programmer?!

Based on that, I "forked" the category implementation and create this small
extension instead

https://github.com/sorenmalling/categories

By default, all content elements are categorizable. Page content, News
records, Pages, sys_files etc.

this could/should go into the core as a sysext, and remove the category
implementation from EXT:core.

Things missing:

 * Category HMENU special type
 * Rework the current Collection implementation from EXT:core
 * Think about how to easily integrate into content concept.

I will like to discuss this, and implement it for 6.1 in cooperation with
the release team.


Please give some feedback on this approach, thanks in advance!

Regards,

Søren Malling
