K2 looks great - do you plan to add the above feature?

It would be great if you could - or if you are planning to even greater...!?

Thanks.

Agree .... would be great to enable an item to be in multiple categories.

Thanks.

How can i do that? One item in two or more categories? Is its possible throw extra fields or something?

One article in many catergories isn't possible - the tagging function serves as a substitute

One vote for this feature. Would be awesome.

Hello " Adam Rifat"..
Hi.. @RW Dura, @Kristiyan Ivanchevski, @Tomasz Bielinski, @Jaakko Karhu
You can do that now..other way.
How?
Search for K2 by tag module...install it.
Create your tags.. assign all items from different categories to one/two tags..
Publish your module..
That is it.. Have a nice day.

hi,
as wrote Tomasz Bielinski: "tagging function serves as a substitute" and I agree with that.
When K2 will fully support multiple categories? Who knows? Is very important to me functionality.

There is a problem with the same content in multiple categories and that is to do with duplicated content. You could have the same article reachable by two separate URLs.

e.g.
/category1/article1
/category2/article1

which is bad from an SEO point of view as a search engine would consider this as duplicated content and neither page could rank as well as one page containing the same content.

The tagging feature works around this by simply tagging articles that cover more than one 'category'. I suppose the best way to go is to put the article in the most appropriate category and then tag it with other relevant categories so people can actually find it.

yes, it's true that the problem is SEO. But how Items in Multiple Categories operate on extensions.joomla.org / extensions /?

For example:
article: Community Builder
is on:
- category-1: Communities
- category-2: Editors' Picks
but is on one link: extensions.joomla.org/extensions/communities-a-groupware/communities/210
(no duplicated content)

It is based on tags?

Yes, that could be achieved with tags. You would put it in the Communities category and tag it as an Editor's Pick. Especially now that there's a k2_content module that can display items by tag!
