Categories and subcategories Can't Post

Hi everybody,

I hope you can help me figure it out this case to configure AM properly :)

Im setting up one AM to handle a weekly bulletin, each bulletin has the same categories (News, Sports, Cultural, Preschool, etc.)

So it will be like this:

Bulletin No.1
News
Sports
Cultural
Preschool

Bulletin No.2
News
Sports
Cultural
Preschool

etc.

How can I set up properly AM to handle the categories/subcategories and not ask my user to create categories/subcategories by its own, as it might be confused because of the templates and custom directories we're using to create those pages.

I just want them to use AM as a tool to get new articles... but i'm thinking what's the best way to configure AM to handle this kind of situations.

Thanks in advance for any advice about how to handle this.

Jesus

Hi Jesus.

Thanks for posting!

If you don't want your client to have to create all the categories each time, I am thinking the easiest way to get this going would be to go in and pre-create enough categories for something like 10 bulletins and then hid the ones that aren't being used yet.

That way, your client would just need to unhide categories as needed instead of having to create them all from scratch. Once they need some new ones created, you would just need to whip in there and get a bunch of new ones setup.

How does that sound? Let me know what you think Smile.

Thanks Ross, I think you're right. I might just need to hide those that are out of time :)

Thanks!
