Hi;

I'd like to allow me and members of my site add categories in frontend where they can. I wonder if it can be a plugin... How would you see it? The permission system bound to categories would be most recommended as well.

Has anybody came up to this idea as well?

May the Source be with you!

+1 for plugin.

I have around 30 categories a day to add, and user who submited a request for category needs to wait for me til i come and create them. pain in butt for me and him.

Of course, you'd have to educate your members how to add cats using path codes and other structure related things but that's another story.

Well, I think it should be simple: the plugin should add a cat by automatically creating the next path in parent category.

I would also see the other functionalities, like:
- user group permissions to add categories.
- category creation limit: per-category and per-usergroup.
