About

• Status: Coding in progress
• History:
  • 2010-10-13 Coding (store and admin) in progress; noted 3 possible fields to add
• Notes:
  • This should probably be renamed cat_topic
  • Fields I'm considering adding here:
    • a flag to indicate that thumbnails of other items in the same category should be shown
    • a prefix to be added to NameFull for all child nodes (and maybe a flag to override it)
    • a way of creating "virtual" nodes to cross-link to related topics in other branches
