Multiple categories for 1 item? was created by Adrian
Seems like it would be quite simple to implement. Can this be done? I am using Joomla 2.5 Thanks in advance guys, any help greatly appreciated.

Happy to pay for something decent but I have read a lot of bad reviews about this extensions. Heard it doesnt have front end functionality which pretty much makes it useless. Also it's not compatible with Joomla 2.5.. GAH!! the search continues.
Have to admit i'm surprised there isn't more of an outrcy for a multi categories plugin. Seems like this should be a pretty standard feature.

Anyone know someone that could develop this? How much would this cost?

Agree it should be standard but i'd also be prepared to pay for this.

I spoke to a guy that is developing this. Should be available in a week for free.

This does seem like a quite simple functionality, not sure if it's worth 49 bucks though.
It's not even compatible with latest K2 release :(

Adrian,
Please post the information here I am extremely interested in getting something that works well. While it may appear on the surface there is not a lot of outcry for this feature, believe me, there is :)
If K2 could offer it natively, they would have an immense advantage.

Hi,
I am very interested in the solution/plugin, too. So please keep us posted
FYI: In the old forum was a long discussion about this. They also link to another solution, but still in alfa.
An alternative would be to implement items by tags in category/subcategory view. Any suggestions how to do this?
regards

Currently, my best solution is to create "parent" categories and use tags for subcategories. Everything I have fits into one category but may have many subcategories (tags) so for me, it works out well. Browsing is by category... Would be easier to be able to nest categories and be able to select multiple ones but this will work for now I suppose...
