Hi,

In each category page, there is a bar at the bottom containing:

Add child category Add child container Add new comment

Could you add a "create content" button, that would add a page/story/something that has the current category as it's parent? That would make it easier to add content to a particular category, especially of the whole category tree is very large.

Thanks,

fcmisc.

I would second this request! Similar to how the book page has a "Add Child Page" option which would simply add a page to that section/category, I think that would be a great enhancement here.

Thanks for all your work on this!

I have not tried this in 5.x but in 4.7 I added /node/add/page/[category node id] link to the category body, When I click on the add page here link the category is preselected, the user just fills in the title and body and clicks submit.

I wen to Administer, Categories, List categories clicked edit and added a new link in the category body. The link url is /node/add/page/55 where 55 = Accounting category node id. I added these links in the body of each category.

Thanks for the tip, but that doesn't seem to work for me.

Just in case that works for someone else, I created a block that automatically generates the link for the above. It needs to work out whether a page is a category page or not, but if the site is just maintained by one admin I guess finesse isn't that important.


echo '<a href="/node/add/page/' . arg(1) . '">Add Page</a>';

Erm... why has this been assigned to me? I'm not a member of the development team for this project. Just a humble user with basic coding skills.

Does anyone know how to add the button we're after?
