Categories and Classification

[steel]

I have defined some custom categories for use in property sheets. How do I get the category selector UI component to display only specific categories to choose from?

I have looked at <cm:category view:childName="customAspect"> but it doesn't seem to help. The UI component always display categories in the "General Classifiable" category and not my custom category.

I have defined a custom classification aspect that is similar to the General Classifiable aspect but no luck either. 

My situation is that for some documents I would like to be able to select from a list of topics for a topics property and a list of other categgories for another property and select these categories without having to drill down from the root.

thanks.

Currently you can't with the out-of-the-box category selector component, it's tied to general classifiable.

To get the behaviour you want it's going to involve writing a custom category selector.

Feel free to raise an improvement for this on JIRA and 'watch' the bug to track it's progress.

What is the "view:ChildName=" used for in the cm:category tag?

thanks.
