Are such kind of modifications possible in Florida? Any hacks? Thanks!

From the docs:

Advanced Use of Categories

It is possible to use one category across multiple blogs. This is called "cross posting". You can set category options like this by editing your conf/_admin.php file. The same parameter allows 4 options:

* only post in one category in one blog
* post in multiple categories in one blog
* post in multiple categories in multiple blogs
* move categories from one blog to a different blog

If this isn't enough, please report back to this topic.

In the upcoming version 2.0 the there are changes in the Categories setup is changed. In the [url=http://demo.b2evolution.net/?revision=HEAD&php_ver=php5&mysql_ver=mysql5]demo[/url] you can have a look. Version 2.0 is due in a few weeks time.

Good luck

Thanks for your answer, but my question was not about the display of posts or crossposting but about the lists of the categories on the top of the page (see example links in the first posts).

I only want to have displayed the main category and not the subcategories. For example on this page http://www.antropologi.info/blog/anthropology/anthropology.php?cat=208 the category heading should be "anthropology general" and not the subcategories ethics, fieldwork / methods, interdisciplinary, persons and theories, Visual Anthropology

It's for aethetic reasons. A new linkblog will have lots of subcategories. A long list of subcategories as heading won't look good

You could *cheat* ;)

<>php
			$Item->categories('view all posts in this category','<span style="font-weight:bold">','</span>','<span style="display:none">', '</span>');
?>

¥

*edit*

Oops, it'd help if I RTFQ'd :p

Back to the drawing board ;)

I'm sorry, I might sound stupid, but where should I put this? I looked in _main.php and _categories.php but am still confused... Thanks!

Fret not, it was the wrong answer anyway ;)

In your skins _main.php find a piece of code that looks like this :

	request_title( '<h2>', '</h2>' );

and replace it with this and see if it does what you expect :

if( empty( $cat ) )
{
	request_title( '<h2>', '</h2>' );
}
else
{
  $foo = get_the_category_by_ID( $cat );
  echo '<h2>'.$foo[ 'cat_name' ].'</h2>';
}

Wow, cool! Thanks a lot! That's exactly what i wanted! :D

I have upgraded to 2.4.7 today and found out that this code produces an error when visiting the "user tool" and archive pages. Does anybody know a solution? Thanks for your help! (I only want the name of the main category displayed in the category view, not also the subcategories as well)

Here is the error message
