Hi all,
I wonder if it is somehow possible to have a single article listed in more than one category. I don't mind if it's a mysql-db manipulation needed, but I have not found out yet how the CMS knows where to fetch its articles from.

I always thought that one item can put in more than one category. Have you checked in your Admin CP? I am not sure, but I think I have seen that feature

Edit your article, scroll down to categories, then pick your categories.

I think he means to put it in more than one "section" not category.
Which i would love to do also.. I guess im a little new with CMS, but i can't understand what the difference is in the two, category's just seem to make things 5x more complicated, so i just use Sections instead.
Maybe that is my problem, i should have a bunch of category's under the main section instead of a bunch of sections under the main section. :erm:

Sections are hierarchical. If an article belongs to one, it also can appear within any parent section all the way to the top. By default, however, those are the only sections it can appear in.
Categories are more like using a predefined set of tags. Content can belong to multiple categories (as illustrated above).
