Any development on creating categories for Linkman.

I would really like to use linkman on my site with 41 categories, and create a link on each category page.

I have very little experience at PHP and have been wracking my brain at trying to figure out what the directions here viewtopic.php?t=610 are trying to tell me.

I don't feel qualified to ask questions other than is there anything in the making, i read it was being thought about.

Hi,

Well I do have plans on adding categories someday, but I really don't have much time lately to work on PHPJunkyard scripts and when I do there are other things I need to finish first (like new version of Hesk).

So, categories WILL be added someday, but I can't say when. I would suggest you rather find some other script than wait for this to be added as it might take long.

Anyone else around the boards that is willing to spread a lil more light on the thread i linked to in the original post?

[Klemen]

You can try this:
viewtopic.php?t=687

Basically what you do is create folders
yourdomain.com/links/category1
yourdomain.com/links/category2
yourdomain.com/links/category3
and then install a copy of LinkMan in each of the category folders.

It's some work but probably the easiest way until LinkMan supports categories.

This sound easy. MY question is when i install a copy of LinkMan in each of the category folders ¿ i must manager admin.php in each of the category folder?

Yes, every category will have its own admin page.

I know nothing of php, so please forgive me if I am underestimating the task at hand. But, I did find that`I could insert a pHP Array - drop down menu for categories as follows:
----------------------

<?
$category = array(
1=> "Category 1",
2=> "Category 2",
3=> "Category 3",
);
$category = str_replace(" ", " ", $category);

echo '<SELECT name=category>';
foreach ($category as $key => $value)
{
echo '<OPTION value='.$value.'> '.$value.'';
}
echo '</select>';

?>

------------
This give me a drop down menu to select a category. Now if I only knew how to assign some values and instructions to explain where to post the link to a given category. Am I on the right track, or is this possible. Anyone want to take a stab at this, and tell me if this is doable?

Thanks Jack

It would take more work than that to get it working and it is out of the scope of my support here. You would probably be better of if you find a MySQL script which already has categories.

That's wha I figured. Thanks Klemen
