Administrators Thanked: 265 kez	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 May the Source be with you!

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

May the Source be with you!

Administrators Thanked: 9 kez	I think this is a good idea, otherwise when you want to move the forums around, you have to click up or down, 1 by 1 by 1....etc
