    ZOOMCATEGORY meta tags not being picked up

    Hi. I've tried implementing categories on our Zoom 5.1 site using the "Specifying category per file" option described in your documentation, but I can't get it to work. I added these meta tags to the <head> of two files (one per file) as part of my testing:

    <meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="usonly">
    <meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="canadaonly">

    Then I entered the following names and patterns for the categories:

    US
    usonly
    Canada
    canadaonly

    But the two documents with the meta tags are still only appearing in the "All Documents" search results, and not at all when either the US or the Canada category is selected.

    Previously, I was able to get categories to work based on folders.

    Any idea what's wrong with my meta tag test?

    Thanks,

    Ah, you've misunderstood the instructions. The ZOOMCATEGORY meta tag should contain the NAME of the categories, not the patterns of the categories. That is, you should have the following tags instead:

    <meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="US">
    <meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="Canada">

    The patterns for the categories are only used to match against the URL of the file to automatically categorize files without ZOOMCATEGORY meta tags. If you wish to only group by ZOOMCATEGORY tag, you can leave the pattern field empty.

    Double check the examples in chapter 2.5 of the Users Guide for reference.

    Hope that makes things clearer.

      And don't forget to check the "Reload all files (do not use cache)" option on the "General" tab, so that the Indexer can pick up these changes to your files.

        That worked!

        Once I changed the keywords to match the category names, they worked!

        Thanks for your help, Ray!
