Folks,

I am using K2 to build a document repository for public health communications. I was hoping I could get some guidance on how to "classify" documents. Here is what I have so far:

1. Category - This is being used to organized the documents by disease/illness
2. Tags - Using to define common terms for quick searches
3. Extra Fields - These are being used to "classify" the documents.
a. Audience - Health Professionals, Public, etc.
b. Resource Type - Checklists, News Release, PSA, Reports, etc.

The issue I am having is with the Resource Type. Within the Resource Type, there are a number of types that have sub-types. For example, Print has children types like Ads, Posters, Billboards, etc. Can I configure K2 in a way that will let me have nested Multi-Select Lists in Extra Fields?

If not, can you provide some guidance on how you would satisfy this requirement of my application? Thanks in advance for all your help!

Regards,
Joe

Hello Joe,

You need a custom taxonomy. You can use an extension for multi categorisation or use Tags and K2 tag menus for the Resource Type.

Krikor,

Thanks! Do you know of any examples I can reference for this custom taxonomy. It's my first time using K2. Thanks for all the help!

Regards,
Joe

Since multi categorisation is what you need here I suggest you look for an extension with this functionality (specific for K2) at the JED or at the extend K2 section of this site.

One which is commonly used is Multiple Categories for K2 (I have not used it and in no way I am endorsing any product)
