Hi all,
The Category Checkboxes Extension is a checkbox replacement for the categories multi-select box on the Publish page.
I never really liked multi-select boxes (in general), and find myself explaining other people (clients) how they work quite often, hence this replacement option.
This extension has one more added benefit.
After clicking the Edit Categories link on the Publish page, changing categories and closing the popup window by clicking the “Close Window and Update Categories in PUBLISH Page” button, it will automagically reselect the categories you had selected before.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know!
Cheers,
Elwin
