Category Headers?

Herrgeist

Yes, I know I'm a pain in the arse today, but I was wondering if there is a way to group categories under some category headings. You could do it on phpBB and you can even do it on EZ Board. Is there a way to do it here? Having all the categories without headers will confuse the users since their old board did have the headers. New board here http://www.standalonegraphics.com/forums/categories.php Old board here http://burlesquewomensinstitute.myfreeforum.org/ See what I mean?

You want subcategories then? There have been discussions about it but i'm not sure if there was ever a positive outcome...try a search.

Herrgeist

Yeah, I did the search. I guess it never happened :(

I've been working on something for this but am stuck when it comes to finding out what the category delegates are. Mini, can you help?

These are all I could find. CategoryManager and Category don't have any.

// Called after the categories are read from the database.
Vanilla.Control.CategoryList.php:22: $this->CallDelegate('Constructor');

// Called before {theme_path}/categories.php is included.
Vanilla.Control.CategoryList.php:26: $this->CallDelegate('PreRender');

// Called after {theme_path}/categories.php is included.
Vanilla.Control.CategoryList.php:28: $this->CallDelegate('PostRender');

What do you mean by 'what they are'? I'm afraid I can only really help as much as digging through what I assume to be relevant bits of core codebase and scanning for the word Delegate then seeing what I guess it does...which i suppose you can manage if you're tackling this extension :)

Thanks to both of you. I guess I had a brain freeze or something.

If in doubt stare at pages of code until something useful pops out... (i dont necessarily recommend that technique..i've lost days of my life to it :|)

I sort of found a solution by looking at Jazzman's DiscussionOverview add-on. So, now I am one step closer.

Awesome! Keep us updated!
