Does anybody know if it is possible to have a Customer
Property "Category" and allow the user to select one or
more of the items listed?

eg. Category Items
- All
- Category1
- Category2
- Category3

Item1 may belong to Category1 and Category3.

The reason for wanting this is to then be able to create
different Views of the postings for the various
Categories.

Thanks,
Kele

Hi

Save the Custom property value as an XML or a comma-
separated list.

For this, you'd probably want to build your own user
controls to manage how the property values are presented
to the author. Take a look at a solution Stefan has
provided (also mentioned just one thread down):

http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx
?SampleGuid=2A85D442-286F-4AD6-8A03-82436BF956A5

Another option is to store the content in an
XmlPlaceholder - and write say, a
CheckBoxListPlaceholderControl to manage the presentation.
