Hi, I'm trying to setup Aggregator2 with Category on 4.7 beta6.

I've setup a feeds container with a couple of categories of feeds and then added the feeds.

feeds->topic->examplefeed

Then I setup a feeditems container and went back to one of the feeds and made it a category in the feeditems container.

feeditems->examplefeed->(where items will go)

Then I went back to edit the examplefeed to select its 'Item Categories', but that section of the form comes up blank.

I believe I had it working before installing categories, but I can't be sure of that. It may not be a problem with category.module, so I hope I don't unnecessarily take up your time.

Okay I've verified that this is different behavior than the taxonomy.module. I setup a sandbox site and installed 4.7 b6, the latest CVS aggregator2 from the repository with the small patch for 4.7 in comment #16 here.

In the sandbox site with default taxonomy plus aggregator2, the scenario I described worked perfectly as shown in the screenshot. That screenshot is from Create Content->Feed after making seperate vocabs and categories for Feeds and Feed Items.

Conclusion: somehow the Taxo+Agg2 combination works, but Cat+Agg2 combination doesn't.

First screenshot was Aggregator2 with Taxonomy.

This one is Aggregator2 with Category.

moving this to Aggregator2 project.

I'm trying hard to get this working on my site. I figured out how the item_taxonomy field is stored in MySQL and tried editing that directly to place the items correctly in categories, but the feed ignores it, unless I'm not entering it right.

I used 'a:1:{i:32;s:3:"414";}' to try to get the items into vocab 32, term 414. Is that right?

I'm having this issue too.
The Item Categories delector is empty when using the Category module.

Has anyone found a fix or workaround for this please?

Thanks alot
steve

The Item categories field doesn't work for me too when used with category. By the way, I am not able to understand what this 'Item categories' thing does. Could you please help me understand? Does it come up on the form when auto_taxonomy is enabled?
