Well after creating a few blog entries, i've realized that it would nice to add categories. How to do that, well is - well - not to clear for me.
On the Midgard chat channel I asked the question. The reply that I got is that I have get newsticker to use your schema in "component configuration".
Hmm. what does that mean? I am still learning the Midgard lingo and how to use all the tools. So I ask for references and am mentioned to visit the "Creating your own schemas" part of the midgard docs.
So I do a bit of researching, i also read the configuring MidCOM and MidCOM components section of the docs, and then realize that what I have to do is change or update the schema used by the net.nemein.rss snippet so that it has the category definition.
I also read the net.nemein.rss API reference , and surely enough there are instructions that tell me that what I really have to do is " add a field definition". There's even an example, some text that I use as a template to create the definition and categories that I need.
"category" => array( "description" => "Category", "datatype" => "text",
"location" => "parameter",
"widget" => "select",
"widget_select_choices" => array ( "cat1" => "Privaterra",
"cat2" => "Midgard",
"cat3" => "Travel",
"cat4" => "Security",),
),
Now what? Where do I add or place this code? Can I just add it somewhere and then magically categories will appear on the blog site and in ecto? The pictures in the blogging tool entry that Henri has in his blog has me think it is just easy - but it's not...
sigh! I'm frustrated, I thought adding category support was easy enough for a new Midgard user add. Perhaps it is, I just don't know where to look. So i'll ask on the midgard-users's list and see if anyone can help me.
In the meantime, all I can do is come up with a recommendation- that more detailed, more illustrated steps are needed for the novice admin.
