Now you can move Joomla 1.0 static content into a category!

Joomla 1.0 was pretty poor by not allowing you to move content from static content to a content category by default. Once you've created loads of static content and you realise you want to categorise a chunk of it then you're stuffed!

Previously, the only way I knew of doing it was to go into myPHPadmin and look up the table joscontent and change the secid and catids. This was painful and inelegant.

I have made some changes to some core Joomla files that will allow you to move content from within static content into other joomla content categories. It is not an installable zipfile, just unzip the files and copy them into the correct folder.

These are the amended files:

admin.typedcontent.html.php
admin.typedcontent.php
toolbar.typedcontent.html.php
toolbar.typedcontent.php

The files should go here:

/public_html/administrator/components/com_typedcontent

This will add a "move" icon to the static content page. Something always missing from Joomla 1.0.15 that has now been provided at last. I use it on all my joomla 1.0.15 sites.
