[geeklog-devel] Multi-Hierarchy Category Maintainance Plugin Idea (was Re: Geeklog Document structure)

[Joe Mucchiello]

Thinking further, as a plugin, this really doesn't need core support. 
If you turn off the standard topics menu, you can plugin your own 
categorization menu. The trick is creating a fake "article" plugin to 
handle categorization of stories. I'm going to write the calendar 
category code as a separate plugin (initially supporting one 
hierarchy, obviously) and then I can expand it into something like 
static pages later. Once it's running perhaps they'll think about 
pulling it into core and using it for stories/topics and the links 
plugin at a later date.

Daz, I'll post something to calendar dev site to see if anyone there 
is opposed to hierarchical event categories.

I left out a couple features:
* Option to create tables specific to each object (or certain 
objects) for speed considerations.
* Option to add field to the object's table when only one hierarchy 
is attached to it. (Again, for speed considerations)
