Re: Catagory Help
You could look here. Basically Categories enable you to group together conceptually any pages or other objects on your web site. This makes it easier for site users to find things, and also helps site authors keep things organized. Here's one use example: my daughter designed her own Tiki theme (modified geo, actually), and then applied this theme to her wiki pages, blog, image galleries and so on. So a visitor easily recognized which parts of the site are hers. (When a theme is specified for a Category, it is automatically applied to all objects in that Category.)
Categories allow a horizontal organization of information across the vertical separations of Tiki's structure, so to speak. At another Tiki site I maintain, we have a number of special interest groups. Each has its own wiki pages and galleries, etc. Using Categories, we can easily list all of each group's resources, at the bottom of the group's pages, and in the Category tree. Without this feature, users would have to go into the hierarchy of each feature — forums, galleries, FAQs, etc. — to find the ones belonging to each group. In effect, we're using Categories as a kind of table of contents for the site.
(BTW, "categories" in the Directory are not related to the Tiki Category feature, and are set separately.)
