Create Categories?

[Ian Gordon]

I guess, I am asking for help making a hack, I don't want to wait for future versions I want to do it now, I see it is implemented in the frontend of the site, so I guess I would press Brian for help with this, I was looking over the code and I made some superficial modifications but, I am looking to add the "$cat" variable so that I can get some hierarchical organization going on in my content, I am content with manually editting the links for the "$cat" variable i am just trying to figure out how to add it to the script.

So, anyone who can tell me how I am accomplish this I would be much obliged, the idea is to create a URL like this:

http://www.domain.com/index.php?cat=blah&page=moo

I also want it so that if "?cat=blah" is put in the URL then it loads a page that coincides with that template, got me?

Well to get the $cat variable to work, you would need to globalize it first. You could look in your includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php file for:

// Process Active Modules

And add above that:

globalize($_REQUEST, array('cat' => STR_NOHTML));

Or you could just use $_REQUEST[cat] in your templates instead of $cat.

How could you then implement them throughout the site like through the AdminCP?

I am still curious if this can be done...

How about you make a options for the page so it like this

You know like you make a forums but than for the pages.
