Allow multiple topic selections #9

Open HarveySWilliams opened 7 years ago

Can you point me to some events where this is the case?

I'd like to gain an understanding about how frequently this will happen, as well as if the multi-topic events tend to be more "general" in nature (BYOT) vs. specifically 2 or 3 topics max. I'm wondering if we might be better served with a "Multiple Topics" or "General" or "Polytopic" option vs. getting a lot of events with 10+ topics (as they want to be inclusive).

For the 2-3 topic case, we have to make the database logic a bit more complex here, which is no problem. Just best to "prove" it needs to be so.

Yes, broad justification is that the concept of "intersectionality" is big in progressive movements which leads to many events have multiple themes or covering related issues e.g. Racial Justice + Womyn, Native/Indigenous Rights + Environment.

For most of the events I have created I had to force-choose a topic.

This event should be Native/Indigenous Rights and Environment: http://www.actnational.org/events/nodapl-march-los-angeles

This event should at least be tagged as both Racial Justice and Immigrant Rights.: http://www.actnational.org/events/sf-protest-against-trump-on-inauguration-day-fight-racism-defend-immigrants

This event should be Racial Justice, Womyn, Immigrant Rights, LGBTI / Queer: http://www.actnational.org/events/seattle-women-march-against-hate

Ok, that looks less like "All The Topics!" and more like: "A couple things we are focusing on."

Would selecting 3-5 items max work?

Yes, definitely.
