[TYPO3-dev] EXT: categorization - proof of concept

[Rik Willems]

Hi Joey,

Thanks for your feedback. I did see tagpack and tested it before I 
started, but it didn't seem to work properly. I will try the latest 
version and see how it is now.

Actually you can add categories ofcourse. By adding DAM categories. But 
indeed there is no way to add them inline. A plus is that this 
categorization offers tree/parent relations. I didn't see this in 
tagpack. Are there plans for that?

The plans you are talking about concern tagpack or a TYPO3 sysext?

Joining forces is always better than doing something twice seperatly. 
Let's see what we can do together. The aim here is to get something that 
works at page level and doesn't require additional plugins to display 
data. This way tt_news does what it does, only with a limited set of 
articles (cut by categories).


Greets, Rik
