In reply to: Why permalinks must be improvedIpstenu, the tag solution seems pretty good. I will look into that.
Design_dolphin – the point is I’m not an amazing coder. I’m decent, but not understanding how permalinks work, I had no way to predict this problem when I started the project. It’s the first time I’ve had this issue.
Jasonmassengale: I have heard of Pods, but am using Magic Fields personally. Is Pods better?
MikeSchinkel: Great! That’s exactly what I’m talking about! It seems to me that for WordPress to evolve into a real CMS, this change is essential. I don’t really want to learn Joomla. Does it look like this will make WP 3.0?
Ipstenu: I have never had problems using categories in permalinks. So why is it considered harmful? Mmm… I guess I should read the page.
I love WordPress and would really like for it to evolve to something that I can use in all scenarios – not just basic webpages.

In reply to: Why permalinks must be improvedThank you for your reply, Ipstenu.
Maybe I didn’t express myself clearly, but it’s not only the postname that is the issue, it’s also the category name.
Say that I have two manufactureres of hardware in my product catalog and they both produce hacksaws. So I would want to enter the manufacturer category and then choose hacksaw. That is impossible in WordPress the way it’s shipped. I could name it “hacksaw” under the first manufacturer, but under the second, I would have to call it “hacksaws by miller” or something like that.
To me, that is awkward. To the customer, it’s completely incomprehensible.
It could look like that permalink structure and category system of WordPress disqualifies it from being viable technology for a site with a product catalog. I think that’s a shame.
I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re saying about Joomla. But I’d really like a way to make this work.
Say, why can 2008/10/01 and 2009/10/01 exist on the same server when johnsons/hacksaws and miller/hacksaws cannot?
To me, it doesn’t make so much sense.
Thanks,
