Blog categories

HI, I love the dolphin!  But having problems trying to figure out how to do something. I want to have an admin fixed set of categories for the blogs. So when one writes a blog entry they have to select one of the fixed categories. Instead of making their own. Then if they make that post public I want it to also show up on a community page that lists all blog posts in that category. I've looked around but can't seem to find a solution. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

WELL -> I would post a JOBs request as this is a Dolphin Custom Modification. HOWEVER, I also feel like your request is answered in 'HOOKIE' which will be the NEXTgeneration of Smart Community Building software. IF you are currently developing and have sometime to do some RESEARCH: http://www.demozzz.com/dolphin7a/ here is a DEMO ALPHA working version of 'HOOKIE' --> You should JOIN and test out the BLOG capabilities, I would swear it works like you want... Well if it doesn't let me know.?!

Thanx Ghost! It does seem to have some function like that. But I also noticed so does this Platform UNITY! Where do I get Unity from?

Much appreciate your time!

I guess what I'm looking for is the drilldown that I see on a number of sites. It is used here too! Is it an extension? It seems to be the same format where ever I see it. I could really use some guidence!!!

Unity is a modified version of Dolphin with it's own template applied to it.  In order to obtain what your requesting is going to require a fair amount of coding and is simply to large of a request for the forum to handle, in addition it is a customization and as such those get listed in the Jobs section. 

 

Now if you would like to attempt to code it yourself, you can go to blogs.php take a look at the code that is there and begin to rewrite it, if you get hung up someone may be able to help you out with a small solution, but this is not a forum item to be discussed.  If you don't know how to code yourself, please post a request in Jobs and someone there will probably be more than happy to help you.

 I have search blogs.php and cannot see where the categories are. Would you please give some detail on exactly where they are?
