Unable to see Knowledge Base categories I have added

Hello,

I have gone into Knowledge and under 'Knowledge Bases' created a new KB labelled 'Infrastructure'

However when I go to add a Knowledge Category it won't show up under that KB?

The default one that comes OOB works fine, I even tried it with an insert and stay.

Any ideas? or is it something that's maybe hiding them?

Thanks!

Graham

You need to have an article with that as the category before it will show up on the homepage/knowledge search page. Use the Create New button, add an article to the Infrastructure Knowledge Base, set the Category to Test and publish it.

I'm having the exact same problem.



Scenario:



1.   New Knowledge Base


2.   Categories Defined


3.   Articles created and published with the category selected


4.   Can see category in kb_category.list


5.   Knowledge Base Portal does not display any categories.


6.   OOB Knowledge Base appears to work as intended.



Question:   Does a new knowledge base get it's own table?   Is that why the categories associated to kb_category don't filter through to the new knowledge base?   Sounds like a problem.


A knowledge base does not get its own table. All the articles live in kb_knowledge.



It sounds like something HI should review.
