Module change_category

This module allows a user to change the category of a wiki page. It is only displayed if the category feature is on and if you are on a page.

There are 3 different types of display:

  1. A simple display consisting of a drop down list where the current categories are selected:

    This code:
    Copy to clipboard
    {MODULE(module="change_category" id="4" title="language") /}
{MODULE(module="change_category" id="8") /}

    Produced:
    Image

  2. A display with more detail: the assigned categories are shown in a table with a button to unassign the category, and the additional categories that can be assigned are shown in the drop down list.

    This code:
    Copy to clipboard
    {MODULE(module="change_category" id="10" detail="y" categorize="categorize") /}

    Produced:
    Image
  3. A display consisting of a combo box where you can select one or many categories from the full list of categories:

    An example in http://profiles.tiki.org, once you are logged in as user, and you are in a wiki page like "r_test":

shy If set to "y", the module is not shown on pages which are not already categorized. Not set by default.
del If set to "n", the detailed list of categories will not offer to unassign a category. Not set by default.

This code:

Copy to clipboard
{MODULE(module="change_category" id="1" imgUrlNotIn="dl7" imgUrlIn="dl8" title="Statute") /}

Would produce:
