Foren / Cotonti / Core Labs / Archive / Forum structure like page categories

The way forum structure is organized in Cotonti/Seditio is very different from the way page categories are organized. Each nesting level is a separate database table and category location is determined by parent category ID.

Many people here suggest using the same structure as in page categories.

Pros:

• Similar structure management of the whole site
• Edit several forums at a time
• Unlimited category nesting
• Simplified database structure
• Easy breadcrumbs

Cons:

• An administrator will have to deal with 1.2.3 path in forums too
• A slight slowdown is possible due to linearized database structure
