Henri:
Thanks so much - your instructions were very helpful, and it looks like I have category support enabled and working.
It didn't work quite 100%, however figured out what was wrong. I seems the code related to the category array wasn't as it should be. The revised code that I used is as follows:
"category" => array(
"description" => "Category",
"datatype" => "text",
"location" => "parameter",
"widget" => "select",
"widget_select_choices" => array (
"Privaterra" => "Category 1",
"Midgard" => "Category 2",
"Security" => "Category 3",
"CPSR" => "Category 4",
"Human Rights" => "Category 5",
"News" => "Category 6",
"Misc" => "Category 7",
),
),I've updated my blog entries accordingly. I've also figured out how to subscribe to a particular category of my feed. For example, to just read my Midgard related entries - the URL would be:
http://www.privaterra.org/blog-rg/?de_linkm_newsticker_filter%5Bcategory%5D=Midgard
As my blog is feeding into Midgard Planet , can you update my URL accordingly so that only the "Midgard" category is feed in.
Thanks also for the details of your blog's configuration @ http://bergie.iki.fi/archive/configuration/blog.html . I'll see if I can figure out how it works and try to implement some of the code in my own site.
I do have a question related related to how you have category support setup. In reading the schema code @ http://bergie.iki.fi/archive/configuration/blog.html you have an entry towards the in the category definition that reads as follows:
multiselect_selection_list" => $GLOBALS["midcom_site"]["categories_array"]
It means that you are reading the categories from a globally defined array, right? If so, where would I add the definition to do something similar ? I ask, as i'd like to use your blog's configuration as a template . if you are using global variables and i'm not - then, well - it might not work for me...
thanks again for your help so far, it's much appreciated.
regards
Robert

Ok, here's where you went wrong. Net.nemein.rss is the news aggregator tool in Midgard. However, it is not the system that powers your blog.
