I just encountered this, and it''s very strange, and disabling as well, so I''m wondering if any others have encountered this behavior: I started experimenting with categories today. I created two categories: "formatting" and "wiki operation". I placed these category designations at the bottom of a number of pages. Now, clicking All Pages, then either of the two categories listed right below the navigation links at page top, I get the SAME page listing, and it''s the one for the "formatting" category. The link to the list for "wiki operation" look like it should work, but it actually produces exactly the same listing. So does clicking the "Any" category link. And, finally, so does clicking the All Pages link, at this point. I seem permanently to be stuck with this subset of pages. I''m now in the process of removing all categories tags at the bottoms of my pages. Having a broken link to "All pages" is disabling, so categories must go, for now. If and when I get access to the Instiki issue collector I now know about, I can see if this has been noted there. Has anyone else seen this behavior? -- t. ===============================================Tom Cloyd, MS MA, LMHC Private practice Psychotherapist Bellingham, Washington, U.S.A: (360) 920-1226 << TC.BestMindHealth.com / BestMindHealth.com >> << tomcloyd at bestmindhealth.com >> ================================================
Categories are all working perfectly for me. Are you sure you haven''t got a dodgy installation as I haven''t seen any of the bugs you''ve found.

Andy,> Categories are all working perfectly for me. Are you sure you haven''t > got a dodgy installation as I haven''t seen any of the bugs you''ve found.I don''t know. I grabbed the 0.11.0 version and it''s running on a server at TextDrive. I just tested it on my Windows installation of the same version, and it has the same problem: assign one page to one category, and suddenly that one page is all that''s listed when clicking the "All pages" link. I''m not sure where to go with this. Any suggestions?

Well, I''m somewhat worried about the future of the program. It works more than well enough to use now, but this list is not much of a place to report problems, given the slow-to-no response which seems to occur. And I recently tried to become more of a contributor by getting access to the bug collector at Trac, but...no response, again. It appears at times almost to be an abandonned program. I hope this is not true. I''m currently making considerable use of it - it''s terrific - the 0.11.0 version - categories or not.

On Win NT I experienced something alike, but the pages shown belong to the category "Any", whatever category I choose. Category "MySpecialCategory" links to ".../list?category=MySpecialCategory", and maybe that should be ".../list/MySpecialCategory". The category bar appears on the "All Pages" of all wikis of the same Instiki instance, which isn''t what I had in mind creating categories in just one wiki. For the moment I don''t know what to do about it, and try to be happy that I don''t have to make an effort to categorize my content. Meindert Meindertsma.

[Instiki] bug report: categories working strangely
Hi all, Re categories, it is indeed a known bug. I''ve done some work on it, but haven''t quite nailed it yet, judging by http://instiki.org/list> It appears at times > almost to be an abandonned program.Well, it''s definitely not at the top of my priorities, sorry about that. I do some work on it every once in a while, but other endeavors take up most of my spare time. As I wrote on this list before, if you are able and willing to take over the Instiki development, please get in touch. Having said that, until somebody else steps up, I''ll try to maintain the project (i.e., fix bugs, accept or reject patches, upgrade to new Rails versions, keep the web site and so on). Please don''t expect anything to happen overnight though :) Best regards, Alex Verkhovsky
