The standard plugin layout displays a comma-separated list of selected additional categories. The plugin is needed more for Joomla developers, since Joomla itself does not allow one entity to be in several categories at once and the plugin may be useless to an inexperienced user. **Minimum Joomla version is 4.2.0.** ### Plugin Parameters Is Joomla core component?If the selected component is a Joomla core component, a drop-down list of components will be displayed. If it is a third-party component, then specify its name like `com_component` in the next field.Component name (com_component)Specify the name of the `com_component` or `com_component.entity` component to select a category.MultipleAllow multiple categories to be selected in the field or not.PublishedShow only published categories in the drop-down list of categories or enable the display of unpublished ones. Trashed and archived categories are not displayed.LanguageShow categories only for the selected content language. ## Joomla **Extension type:** Plugin **Folder:** Fields **Joomla version:** 4.2, 5.2.4 ## Gallery ![...](https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/images/swjprojects/projects/96/en-GB/gallery/7xEffFZcbtE.webp) ![...](https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/images/swjprojects/projects/96/en-GB/gallery/lOVPgYg8TeI.webp) ![...](https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/images/swjprojects/projects/96/en-GB/gallery/ZrX3hCMR89z.webp) ## What's new 2025-02-24 17:05:25 Fixed ### Joomla 4 The plugin's operation with Joomla 4 has been fixed. --- ## Related extensions [!\[WT Multicategories - multicategories Joomla plugin\](https://web-tolk.ru/images/swjprojects/projects/97/en-GB/icon.webp) WT Multicategories - multicategories Joomla plugin](https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/wt-multicategories) ## JSON-LD Schema ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/BreadcrumbList/17", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "item": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/en", "name": "Home" } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev", "name": "Joomla extensions" } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@id": "/en/dev/joomla-plugins", "name": "Joomla plugins" } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "name": "WT Category - Joomla custom field plugin for categories selection" } } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/Organization/base", "name": "WebTolk", "url": "https://web-tolk.ru/", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/ImageObject/logo", "url": "images/webtolk-1080p.jpg", "contentUrl": "images/webtolk-1080p.jpg", "width": 1920, "height": 1080 }, "image": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/ImageObject/logo" }, "sameAs": [ "https://github.com/WebTolk", "https://github.com/sergeytolkachyov", "https://vk.com/web_tolk", "https://vk.com/webtolkru", "https://tenchat.ru/sergeytolkachyov", "https://t.me/sergeytolkachyov", "https://t.me/webtolkru" ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/WebSite/base", "url": "https://web-tolk.ru/", "name": "WebTolk websites development, Joomla Extensions", "publisher": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/Organization/base" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/WebPage/base", "url": "https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/wt-category-plagin-polzovatelskogo-polya-joomla", "name": "WT Category - Joomla custom field plugin for multicategories selection - WebTolk websites development, Joomla Extensions", "description": "A custom field plugin for a category selection that can be used in articles, contacts, banners and other components that use standard Joomla categories.
