Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Assign a contact to multiple categories

Hi Douglas,

Did you managed to add tagging into Contact Enhanced?

We have a scenario again where we need to assign multiple categories to the user.

Many thanks
Tony

Dear Tony,

Yes. Each contact has an option to add Tags and you can display the contacts assigned to the tags. Just create a Tags Menu item.

Best regards,

Hi Douglas,
I am trying to create a contact list based on their tag. i.e Professional Trainers. Could you point me in the right direction.
Cheers
Mark

Dear Mark,

This feature works just like any other Joomla core extension. You have to assign tags to your contacts and then create a new menu item and set the Menu Item Type to Tags » Tagged Items.

Sorry Douglas, I am probably being greedy but I was hoping for A CE menu item to generate a contact list based on their tags.

I will just have to accept that i cant always have everything I want. :(
Seriously though, is this something that could be put on the wish list or is it too big of a job?
Cheers
Mark

Dear Mark,

It requires at least 8 hours of work in order to implement it and I haven't received this request many times yet.

Best regards,

Hi Douglas,
Oh well, as i said earlier I cant always have what I want :laugh:
Mind you I am surprised that more folk haven't asked for this. I would have thought the ability to assign a user to multiple categories would have been on everyone's wish list.

Dear Mark,

People have asked about multiple categories, which can't really be done right now because it would require major category, contact and form fields rewrite.
I was talking about a better way to display Tagged Items.

Have a blessed week,

Hi Douglas,
Sorry, as usual I am not making myself clear.
I would have thought that having a "CE list contacts by tag" menu option would be a good way to get around the need for multiple categories.
Cheers
Mark

Yes, I agree TOTALLY. Either a :List contacts by Tag" menu option OR, even simply to add a Tags filter to the current "List Contacts in a Category" option would be all that I need to make this work.
