I would like to be able to filter searches by Category names. This would improve usability across a Tiki site.
I'm aware that when search filtering by Category, there is a popup on the search page that allows a user to select a Category (or Categories) which will then appear in the Category filter box in a way the search filters can understand. This is handy, but it would be handier to be able to directly type a Category name (or part of a Category name) into the filter box.
The Category selection box also does not help when composing {LIST()} blocks from PluginList with {filter} blocks. At the moment, {filter} blocks must be composed with prior knowledge of the Category ID number. One must use {filter categories="12 AND 38"} instead of, for example, {filter category-names="Czech Novels of the 1900s AND Polish Novels of the 1900s"}. This makes it harder for people to approach writing wiki pages when they want to include lists of objects in Categories.

To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.
The URL for the show.tikiwiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://alfalfascouting-11926-6679.show.tikiwiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".
For the install log, see http://alfalfascouting-11926-6679.show.tikiwiki.org/info.txt
Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.
Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show.tikiwiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.
Snapshots can be accessed at: http://alfalfascouting-11926-6679.show.tikiwiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
