TYPO3 Core

Sorry, but can you create a file collection with a single category? Which TYPO3 Version do you use?

Best,
Andrea

I'm using TYPO3 6.2.11.

If I want to create a file collection by selecting 2 categories, I can't select more than one category in the category tree.

According to the logics of categorization, this is a musthave. Is this issue prioritized?

Hey,
I'm using Typo3[7.6.9].
this is also a must-have for the project im currently working on. I'd just like to know if there any progress on this?
Kind regards

The problem here starts with the Table design as far as I can tell. The Table "sys_file_collection" has a field "category" which would restrict this relations to category to a "1:1" relation.

In order to resolve this issue, it would be necesarry to change the table, remove the "category" column, create a table similar to "sys_category_record_mm" and store the "filecollection - category" relationship in a "many-to-many" fashion there.

My Question, if im correct, are as follows:
- If I'd fix this in typo3 v7 LTS - will these changes merge into 8 LTS?

Just to be sure: This issue is about table sys_file_collection, correct? The field category is defined a 1:1 assignment to sys_category (be aware that this is a field for querying results, not to define categories for a file collection). Using an MM approach does not seem to fit here - in no way the relations shall be stored in the existing sys_category_record_mm table - having a simple list of category UIDs seems to be fine here. These can be use to run a subquery against existing relations to determine the result-set.

If it's going to be a list of UIDs, no further upgrade wizard have to be implemented since the current definition is a "list" as well, with just only one item...

This is still present on version 10.0.0-dev (latest master)

OK. In order to tackle this, let's define that selecting multiple categories would mean, that we would need to do a "OR" connection - get me all files that are either in category A OR category B.
