All Categories at one site
Is there a way to show all the categories choosen at one site?

For example:

Toys
Books

Toys/small
Toys/big

Books/Cars
Books/Internet

Books/Internet/Php3
Books/Internet/Perl

So i want to Show at home:
Toys
Books

but on Books:

*Books ------- Cars
Toys --------- Internet

on Books/Internet

*Books ------- Cars -------- Php3
Toys --------- *Internet -------- Perl

On Books/Internet/Php3

*Books ------- Cars -------- *Php3
Toys --------- *Internet -------- Perl

and show behind every Cat the right number of entrees.

Think that should make it easier for users to find the right caregory instead going always back to home and click tru.

Example i found at:

Ok, i could do that with fields for every category; so if itīs a level 1 cat (starting with home at 0), i enter all the level one linked to the right dir; for a level 2 cat, ic ould enter two fields, one for the level 1, one for the level 2 cats. I have done this before and it is no problem. But that could not be the sense of a database, doing all the static work. And very important, i cant get the number of entrees with this method.

The same thing is for the home, if you want to show the level 2 cats as description under the level 1 cats. I can link them, but get no numbers of entrees. I think in most cases the subcategories tell the same or more than a real description, isnīt so?

Hope someone has an idea.
