categories and subcategories

[captainmish]

Hello
We are looking for some way to categorise (and subcategorise) pages,
and are looking for some ways to do it. Has anyone managed to do
something similar? I think tagging will probably come close to this
(tags: news, local-news), but interested to see if anyone has
implemented anything different (maybe a dropdown with preselected
categories?). Any tips gratefully accepted!
Thanks,

Hi,

I've been looking to do something similar, not only to categorise pages but content from other apps too (news, events and the like). For our purposes tagging was too flexible and prone to human error - we needed something more tightly managed and categories seemed the way to go. After some searching around I found washingtontimes django-categories (https://github.com/washingtontimes/django-categories), which seems to do the job nicely.

However, while I easily managed to integrate it into my own apps (it displays a nice dropdown or multi-select of categories to choose from), I'm at a complete loss as to how to integrate it into django-page-cms.

Worth a look, and if you're any more advanced with django/page-cms than me maybe you can figure out how to integrate it. Or maybe someone else can help?
