Is there a way to list categories.

This is for my hardware review site www.cache-community.co.uk (test installation using TP is at www.cache-community.co.uk/tp )

For example, I want to have a main "Reviews" category, and when it's clicked on from the menu, I want it to list all the "Reviews" sub-categories, such as "Power Supplies", "Coolers", "Miscellaneous" etc. In alphabetical order if possible, and when each of the sub-category links is clicked, I want the individual reviews listed. Is this possible?

I hope that makes sense.

No, this is not possible. The categories are present - for now - only to order things, they don't display subcats, only articles within.

Cache-man

So, to list the subcategories of reviews, I would have to create a article (as well as the category of) "Reviews", and then in that article manually create a HTML list of links to the sub categories, and then create another HTML list for each of the sub-cats linkin g to the actual reviews?!!?

Cache-man

That is unless I convert the articles/review into forum threads, then I just need to create borads, and sub-boards, and then locate the reviews in the appropritae sub-boards.

Well, if you want to make it diffcult you could.. :)

Actually, just make ONE page with links to all the categories, sub or not. Then each link is a index.php?cat=xx.
