jwk811 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 how would YOU set up the category part in a forum. i just want mine simpler and to make sense. the thing that makes it more difficult is having sub forums. i do want to have a main category for groups but just as a title of that group of forums. whats the best simplest way to do this? thank you Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/199947-categories-in-a-forum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamatomic Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 parent=>child. On sub-categories you keep track of the parent. The when you load the main cat you grab all the subs that have that parent. You then go through those subs and grab any sub-sub-cats that have the sub-cat for a parent...and so on and so on.
