Arny , i corrected your code , voilà :
if(preg_match("/^(.+)-(.+)/smiU",$Category->Name,$match)) { $DisplayCat = $match[2]; $Class = "SubCategory"; } else { $DisplayCat = $Category->Name; $Class = "Category"; $PrevCat = $Category->Name; }

I corrected another bug in the regex , here's the new working regex :
#^(.+)-(.+)$#

For those of you wonder what iSlayter was talking about, Nested Categories are a way to store, edit, and display tree hierarchies without the performance hit of a recursive digging algorithm.

If I can rouse him, I'll get the code and start working on this myself since I want the feature. Otherwise, I'll start from scratch to do it.

I know it's not my place to make demands here (as I have no clue how to program php even in the remotes way) but as I just want to contribute my ideas I will make a suggestion of how I would envision to display subcategories: See an example of the accordion effect of the mootools script library here: http://www.chrisesler.com/mootools/mootools-accordion.html It would be extremely cool to be able to toggle categories like this while saving space and working toward a clean structure (not overwhelming people with too many choices - only providing subcategories on click of the category of interest). Would it be difficult to provide an extension that uses the mootools script library to accomplish this? Dada
