Category Selection 'with Subcategories'

[ipirat]

Hi,

I added some categories to documents and am not quite satisfied with the way the selection by category works.
In the actual example, I use the standard Category tree
<ul>
<li>Languages
<ul>
<li>German
<ul>
<li>Austrian German
<li>German German
<li>Swiss German
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>

Now I have a few documents marked "Swiss German" and a few "Austrian German". I'd like to see ALL of them if I select the "German" category.
I.e., to see the documents in the category itself and the documents from subcategories.

The only way I found is to assign the document to both "Swiss German" and "German" but that's just a workaround (and a nightmare to maintain)

In Alfresco Explorer, I found Category-Search including Subcategories:

<ul>
<li> Go to /alfresco/faces/jsp/browse/category-browse.jsp
<li> Select Checkbox "Include Subcategories" at the top of the left side panel
<ul>

Is there a similar way in Alfresco Share, as the Share seems to be "The Tool To Use"
