Is it possible to inherit Categories from the parent folder when you import or upload a new file? It's a lot of work setting categories for each file one by one. Normally files under the same folder share the same categories.

Hi Maoz, No. Categories are kept well separate from the folder structure. There is no inheritance or unify for instance. Peter

Hi Peter, I have two questions related to Categories. Is there a way to allow some content administrators(DNN role) to be able to create categories without giving them full Admin privilege? Can the category enhancement be logged as an enhancement request in future version of DMX with the portal admin having ability to enable/disable it? Thanks

Hi Peter, Even though the feature to inherit categories from the parent is not out of the box, is there an easy way to implement it using a Stored Procedure or query? Please let me know. Thanks

Hi Chhavi, You could try. There is a trigger on DMX_Entries for new records. The attached categories are in DMX_EntryCategories. Put your SQL hat on and you might be able to create that in the trigger. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
