I guess if we take away the terms categories and sub categories, what i am looking for is the ability to link a custom type back to itself to setup a many to one relationship. When creating a new category there should be a drop down box showing all the categories and the ability to select one as the parent category. This could be categories/sub categories or groups/sub groups, supervisors/employees, divisons/sub divisions.
Using the customadmin.xml i have added an extra tab to the admin interface called "Products" which i want the ability to add categories and products using the custom types framework. I want to use the permissions system to control access to this tab and make it so users do not have to go to other tabs to create content for this area. I should probably also mention that i am using the bUseInTree="false" so these do not need to tie into the site tree. Thanks for your help Jake.
