Content is king
Now comes the fun part - go crazy! Create heaps of nodes of type news and blog, and assign heaps of categories to 'em. Watch and marvel as all your nodes are assigned the correct menu position, are given links to categories from certain containeris, are listed in multiple locations on your site, and are easily browseable using the super-cool navigation structure that the categoryi module has effortlessly created for you.
Could you imagine a better or easier way to create a web site? It's information architecture nirvana - the zen of navigable site design.
That's all for this tutorial - the rest is up to you. This final subheading was more than just a mere pun: content really is king, and no matter how well-structured or easy-to-navigate your site is, it still won't be a success unless it is carefully planned; and nobody will visit it unless it has interesting and useful content. So get writing!
As for me, I'm going to add just a few more news items and blog entries, and categorise them according to my incredibly complex set of categories and containers. After that, it's time to fly to Vanuatu, get a massage, drink some mango-infused alcoholic beverages, and contemplate the inner nature of spiritual ontology. That is, assuming I had some money.
Same as taxonomy
Category supports the same query operators as taxonomy, except that instead of going to taxonomy/term/x,y,z, you go to category/x,y,z. As in taxonomy, the comma (,) is an AND operator, and the plus sign (+) is an OR operator. You can also specify the depth in the optional 3rd argument, e.g. category/1+2/1, and you can specify an RSS feed instead of a page request, e.g. category/1+2/0/feed.
Also note that categoryi_legacy will redirect complex taxonomy queries to their category equivalent (and will re-map tids to nids).
Thank you very much, and
Thank you very much, and perhaps you could give me an idea how to create a listings of such queries without using php?
Somewhere along the way something did not go as expected
I followed all of the steps with my new 4.7 instance and for some reason, all of the categorical structures are showing up on my main Drupal page, and all of the pre-existing content I had is being pushed down beneath this. Further, the content does not actually display at all unless I browse to it in my Content Administration. This seems backwards.
Edit: Still very uncertain, but I'm thinking this might have something to do with the default publication state?

Yes, you need to edit the default publishing options for your containeri and categoryi content types at administer>>settings>>content types
Regarding "content does not actually display at all unless I browse to it in my Content Administration", I think you probably missed checking the 'Show node listings" in your category_display settings for your containers and categories.
Old content (books, categories) abandoned
I also can only find OLD content under admin>>content; for these the "Type" is blank. I have the book and taxonomy wrapperis enabled. While I believe the old Taxonomy terms had been convereted, I am suspicious that this did not happen because when you edit one of the old taxonomy/categoryi fields you see only a subset of new category fields. Also the categorise and their drop down options reflect the old terms refer than new ones. I am about to delete these old items and start over, but thought you might have a clue as to what has gone wrong.
Secondly, I'm not sure what options you are referring to above as the "publishing options to set". When I go to admin>settings>content types, the only options I see are related to Submission Form and Workflow Options. Which options would affect the display?
why two catagories?
history, I loaded modules, put in catagories, then loaded the catagory module, so I did the wrapperi and import... but it got too confusing, so I deleted all my organization (or so I thought), and started from scratch with this tutorial, following as best I could exactly...
but now, when I post new content it appears to list each catagory twice.. along with other wierd stuff... (see the menu on the left)
If someone could take a gander at:
http://happybabieshappymoms.com/node/31
And give me some hints, or just tell me how to eliminate all catagory info and *really* start from scratch, that might help.
Also, is catagories incompatible with the article module... maybe I should disable the article module...
Thanks for any help!
Auto-Assigning New Content to a Category
Everything is working now. For this tutorial I created a new content type of News using CCK. Whenever I click 'create new content-->News'. A categories menu is listed and my users must choose the categoryi this content belongs to. I understood that this should automatically be done, forcing all content of News Type to appear in the Articles.
Viewing the News content type itself. I see two taxonomy field entries. 1. Articles, and 2. sections.
Any pointers on where I went wrong?
Errors...
I get the following user warnings when I start adding nodes to multiple categories.
* user warning: Duplicate entry '1-20' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO term_node (nid, tid) VALUES (20, 1) in /home/ludmila/public_html/site/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.

I get the same error as above...
i get the same error as above... I followed along with the third tutorial on this site, and got the error when I tagged a story with multiple categories...
Same problem here. I have
Same problem here. I have free-tagging on containeris and multiple select (which is anyway true for free-tagging).
- If I choose existing terms it works fine
- If I remove or add other existing terms from the node it works fine
- If I add one non-existing term it works fine
- If I want to add two (or more) new terms it breaks
user warning: Duplicate entry '0-68' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO term_node (nid, tid) VALUES (68, 0) in /includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.

Its still unclear to me
Perhaps I've missed this somewhere, but still can't find out, how to make intersected listings? For example, I select some 'Topic' to display a list of 'Moods' that have nodes for this 'Topic', and then picking one of that 'Moods', get to the list of nodes which have 'Mood' and 'Topic' as categories.
