Hello,

This post raises the same issue as #786758: Aggregator Category Filter stopped working and http://drupal.org/node/569700 but IMHO I think it's related to the aggregator module.

Steps to the problem:

1- create aggregator categories
2- create a feed and update it without assigning a category to it
3- assign categories by individual items
4- create a view and add an "Aggregator category : Category ID" filter and check a category from the given list

I expected items belonging to the selected category will be displayed, but no items are being displayed.

When tagging the parent feed with the selected category all items are being displayed by the filter whatever is the category of the item, as I mentioned here: http://drupal.org/node/786758#comment-3067976.

What I want is to be able to filter based on the category of the item and not to get either all items of the feed or nothing from the feed.

Be sure that you are using Same table fields in "Add Filter" as well as "Add Fields"

This doesn't look like a core issue.

The only filter I have is "Aggregator category: Category ID"

Even when I add an "Aggregator category: Category ID" field, no items are being displayed.

What I have is either all or nothing. Category filtering is only possible at the feed level not at the item level, i.e items -all items whatever their specific categories- are only displayed when the parent feed has been tagged with the selected category ID. If the feed is not categorized no items are shown.

To be more specific, what I'm trying to do is to have a category named "published" and items which are interesting would be tagged as published, other items will have no category. The parent feed will have no category.

The view will filter based on the category of the item and will return only items manually categorized as published.

I hope you can help me find a solution to this error.

Sorry Damien, I can't tell if it's related to core or to views. you are surely right
