Categories on Video Page

[Paul Mambwe]

I wish to ask Ning if we could have categories on video page. or is there anyone who knows how to create categories on Video page? 

Looking for a particular video on video page has become a night mare for my members. If we had categories it will simplify the search by clicking on category and the to title group of the videos.

Still very occupied but glad to hear my friend vaqz helped you out!

Best wishes to you and your site,

Congratulations for your site and for this script. I tried to adapt the script to my site but I got the following issue: when I want to edit the video again, all keywords are deleted, making it necessary to set the keywords again. Have you a solution for that ?

Thanks for your help,
Ambroise

I second making tag clouds of some sort. 

Here's one I made. http://eflclassroom.com/clouds/tagcloudvideo/tagcloud.swf

I have a page for all the different parts of the community - blog/forum/photos/videos etc... and members can use it to browse tags.

The biggest problem really with Ning isn't categories of videos - it is creating a cohesive system for finding content. They are getting better but a cross site tag search which prioritizes content that is tagged - would be the biggest step in the right direction. Content is king but only if you can find it/him.... (btw: I do have a search I made to search for all the tagged content on our comment. Sample it here. http://community.eflclassroom.com/page/tag-search

it would be helpful if there were a way to get a list of all tags on the network for a given feature and would make it much easier for NCs to build these categories themselves

I've been asking for this for 2 1/2 years already. Pleeease !

It would be a wonderful xmas gift.  Why can't we make a group of videos - it should be a no brainer given our video obsessed world.
