@rallek is this your issue originally?

yes it is. I want to have the content plugins for all modules I use :-). If you want to knao what is needed, please look at the news module as best practice ;-)

Can you just outline specifically (in English ;-) ) what you want - I'd rather not do the investigation...

What I normally want to have in a good content plugin:

an editable headline and if it is empty nothing is shown
multiselection of categories. This alos for multipe category trees
a customziable layout. Just a place where I can put an additioal template and a field where I have to place the templatename. So I am able to have different templates at one page

I am using it in the following way: I do have different content pages. For each page I do have an own category. By choosing a categorie for a link it is clear on which content page it will be shown.

@rallek - I think I've got everything you requested implemented. Since Weblinks uses its own category system, multiple trees is not relevant. If it is ever switched over to use system categories, then this could be adjusted.

PLEASE test and see if it does what you want and report back.

btw - you will need to reinstall or re-upgrade your DB in order to test this or Content will not find the plugins.

first installation on my testside went well. The first impression is fine. Thanks a lot!
