Hi,

Yep set it up exactly per the example in the readme on GitHub

Hi Jay,
is this still not working?

Hi,
Nope, everything was set up according to the readme but what I get is the screen shot I originally posted. I'm pretty sure there is something missing or because of how heavily engineered our site is there may be something overriding it. I think what I really need to figure out is the process behind how the option for a new category appears in the menu

Are you able to see the "BasicCategory" in the Content-Type inside admin?

Both the Basic and Extended categories I created are both there in the admin Content-Type, they are under Other

Hi,
Tried it on the Alloy training site and still have the same problem, Categories doesn't appear in the Nav bar at the top and I have to add it as a gadget so that may be indicative of something fundamental missing or not configured correctly

Can you please provide your code snippet here(only EpiCategory related)?

namespace AlloyTraining.Models.Categories
{
public class CategoryData : StandardContentBase, IRoutable
{
[UIHint(UIHint.PreviewableText)]
[CultureSpecific]
public virtual string RouteSegment { get; set; }

[Display(Order = 20)]
[UIHint(UIHint.LongString)]
[CultureSpecific]
public virtual string Description { get; set; }

[Display(Order = 30)]
[CultureSpecific]
public virtual bool IsSelectable { get; set; }

public override void SetDefaultValues(ContentType contentType)
{
base.SetDefaultValues(contentType);
IsSelectable = true;
}
}
}

namespace AlloyTraining.Models.Categories
{
[ContentType]
public class BasicCategory : CategoryData
{
}

[ContentType(DisplayName = "Extended category")]
public class ExtendedCategory : BasicCategory
{
[CultureSpecific]
public virtual XhtmlString MainBody { get; set; }
}
}

Hi Jay

You can *delete* the CategoryData class. This is included with the GetaCategories package. I got confused with this documentation too.

David

Delete everything and just install the package and create this class only-
[ContentType]
public class BasicCategory : CategoryData
{
}

Thanks
Deleting CategoryData class did the trick, still doesn't show Categories in the Nav but I can live with that

great!!
