Any interest in some additional features with the category and forum models?
I modified Beast a while back to support unlimited nested categories, subcategories, and subfolders. After trying out El Dorado, I was thinking I could do the same thing here.
Here's what I had in mind:
-Instead of the "position" attribute, use a Nested Set model. This way the entire tree structure can be loaded at once, plus it's easy to move positions & parents around. I prefer the BetterNestedSet plugin.
-The Category/Forum new/edit form would have a couple fields: "parent forum/category" and "insert before <forum/category list>". No more need to remember position numbers.
-The big difference in my mind would be eliminating the Category model completely. Categories would just be forums with forum.category == true. Forums that are categories would not allow posts and are displayed differently of course. This allows them to fit into the tree structure seamlessly, and you can have folders as children of categories as children of forums as children of categories and so on.
-Of course some view tweaks to indent or otherwise indicate each "level" of the forum or category.
Any interest?
