Adding Category Field Problem
I've added several new fields to my category.def file and made the required changes in nph-build.cgi and site_html_templates.pl. I now have fields numbered 0-16 but only the first 12 are functional. The information contained in fields 13,14,15,16 is all being combined into field 13 when I build my pages. The admin shows them as seperate fields and they seem to be properly delimited in the categories.db file.

Is there a limit of 13 fields or did I mess something up or forget to change something?

Thanks for any advice. My changes were as follows:

category.def
