Module change_category

This module allows a user to change the category of a wiki page. It is only displayed if the category feature is on and if you are on a page.

There are 3 different types of display:

  1. A simple display consisting of a drop down list where the current categories are selected:

    This code:
    Copy to clipboard
    {MODULE(module="change_category" id="4" title="language") /}
{MODULE(module="change_category" id="8") /}

    Produced:
    Image

  2. A display with more detail: the assigned categories are shown in a table with a button to unassign the category, and the additional categories that can be assigned are shown in the drop down list.

    This code:
    Copy to clipboard
    {MODULE(module="change_category" id="10" detail="y" categorize="categorize") /}

    Produced:
    Image
  3. A display consisting of a combo box where you can select one or many categories from the full list of categories:

    An example in http://profiles.tiki.org, once you are logged in as user, and you are in a wiki page like "r_test":
