    • Categories 1.10 update

    Posted by seromine posts: 130

    Sorry if this is a hassle for someone....today sometime I found a page that had a new update for the plugincategory module for version 1.10 that had some additional features....

    I cannot seem to locate the page with this information, and it said it could be downloaded at something like the CVS head....I do not know what or where this is....

    could someone point me to the location of the plugincateogry module for version 1.10 download....

    also, is categories the "replacement" for structures????? meaning that if I was building a site from scratch would it be better to use the category features to build, or use structures, both????

    thanks!

    Maybe the latest file is here.

    Categories aren't a replacement for structures. Actually the purposes of each are different and so they are both useful in different ways.

    Structures are only for wiki pages, and are good for implementing navigation devices such as the structure'z table of contents and the previous-next-up-home links at the top of each page in the structure.

    Categories can be applied not only to wiki pages but to all kinds of Tiki objects, so they are good for grouping things "horizontally" across the various Tiki features like blogs, galleries, etc.

    Both also have some permissions-setting aspects, too, but to me this is secondary to their organizational functions.
