Place a RM entry in multiple RM categories

Alpha1 · Mar 26, 2013

I would like to be able to place RM entries in multiple RM categories.

To clarify:
An entry needs to be in one parent category and have the related permissions. I don't think its possible to change that.
But I do think its still possible to make an entry visible in multiple categories. This is my suggestion.

Me too!

I would like this feature!

+1 on this idea

There has been one or two things I thought could have been listed or found easily in more than one category

I use resource manager for games and split by genre but some games are multiple genre and listing them in both categories would be great instead of just one. Music & Movies are similar in nature.

I was hoping this would be built in. I'll add a +1 to this.

I was hoping I was missing something when trying to accomplish this - I'd love this to be added in.

oops... me too - i ask the same thing.

Ok, we can handy copy them (the resources) - but thats not a smart way.

The addons effectively only have one category ... as the first category is wasted on categorizing them as "addons". And the lucky addons that get a second helpful category called "New Applications" or "Other" don't have even one category that helps !

Is this feature maybe also implemented in RM 2.0? This would be a great extension. I know there is a plugin for this, but this has some problems and has not been updated since the release.

It would be great if this became an integral part of the RM.

Has this been added yet? Would be very useful.

This suggestion was made 12 years ago almost on the day, is number 3 in popularity among all suggestions for the resource manager and yet neither implemented nor officially closed.

Still a valuable suggestion that I would like to see implemented.

This would require rewriting the entire RM back-end and most third-party add-ons based on it.

That is probably not going to happen for something that is such an edge case. Likely not even in XF3.

Gladius · Mar 30, 2025

Hardly an edge case, practically every moderately large RM database encounters the issue of entries fitting multiple categories and has no way to deal with it.

vbresults · Mar 30, 2025

Isn’t that the purpose of the tag system? The underlying problems could be satisfied immediately by using predefined tags, and in the medium term (XF 2) by making that third-party add-on a core feature.
