Recite CMS allows you to manage a list of categories, which can then be assigned to other web site data such as calendar events or pages.
You can only maintain a single list of categories, however, every category can have any number of sub-categories, allowing you to segment various category lists as required.
Additionally, you can store a description with all categories, as well as assocating any number of files with a category.
This chapter informs you how to manage your category list, as well as covering the options for displaying categories on your web site.
There are two Control Panel widgets available to help you manage categories. These are as follows:
Categories Tree View. This widget shows all categories in the site, organised by their hierarchy. You can expand or contract the display as required. When you click a category in the tree view, it will be opened in the category viewer widget.
Category Viewer. This widget is used to view and manage the details of a single category. You can't add this widget manually - it is automatically loaded when you click on a category in the tree view widget.
You can either add the tree view widget manually (it can be found in the
Category Management category in the widget browser), or you can
create a new tab using the Categories pre-defined layout.
The following figure demonstrates this layout. This tab is a two-column layout with a wide right-hand column. In the left column is the Categories Tree View widget, while in the right column is the Category Viewer widget.
For the purposes of this chapter, I'll assume you're working with a tab having the same layout as the pre-built Categories tab.
