Hi!
I'm going to post some of the new feature/design changes so that people can see where we are going and post any comments.
One of the new features is our Category Browser. This is a javascript based tree that will let you easily manage your category structure.
It is designed for large directories. It will only load your first level of categories, and when you click on a category that has _not_ been loaded, it will load that subcategory. Any category you have already clicked on will be cached and not need to be reloaded. It's designed for very large directories and will make managing sites with 10,000+ categories very easy.
It also improves category management by:
- Deleting a category will delete all subcategories and links in that category.
- Moving a category will move all subcategories and links to the new position.
- To move a category, you simply click "Move" and then click on the category you want to move it to.
- You can also move links and copy links (i.e. place in alternate categories) simply by clicking on the category you want them to go to.
This will also be the base for the new editor system. The browser can be "rooted" at any subcategory, and only allow changes to within that category. It is smart enough to know that if a link is in two categories, one outside of your control, you won't be able to update that link (thereby affecting something outside of your area).
Cheers,
Alex
