How do you create sub-catagories?
An earlier post shows that it is possible but how?

i.e.

Computer (main cat)
486 (sub)
PII (sub)
PIII (sub)
Peripherals
Monitors (sub of peripheral)
Hard_Drives (sub of peripheral)

and so on

Thanks

I copied this right out of one of the scripts. Thats why it looks odd. :-)

How do I create subcategories?
<dd>Easy, just name your category appropriately. For instance, if you
have a category named 'Computers', to have a subcategory named Hardware
just click on Add Category, and name it 'Computers/Hardware'.<br>
You can have as many levels as you like 'Computers/Hardware/Video_Cards/Diamond' for
instance, but just make sure you have the appropriate categories before hand (i.e. in the
above example, you would need to have 'Computers', 'Computers/Hardware' and 'Computers/Hardware/Video_Cards'
first.

<dt>How do I have spaces in my category names?
<dd>Use the underscore '_' character. The script will replace it with a space when displaying
that category.

This is also in the FAQ in the Links Resources page here at Gossamer and, I believe, also on the Help Page of the Admin screen.
