perhaps I am making things harder than I need to... Many of my content types, well dmfile in particular need to be categorized in different ways.
a dmfile object needs to be categorized in a minumum of 3 category "branches" example: 1. Division - A, B, C 2. Product Line - Hardware, Software, Accessory 3. Publication Type - Brochure, Spec Sheet, Order Form each of the 3 above have a pretty long list of options so to make it easier on the contributor I wanted to break these selections in to parts. So what I did was extend dmfile so I had properties: catDivision,catProduct,catPubtype then using form tools, I ftalias directly to that branch in the tree. Now I am thinking I have made a mistake in that it will be harder to leverage builtin category tools for rules, as refcategories will be unusable, etc... so... if I merge these back in to catFile, is there a way for me to make the edit handler for adding.modifying dmfiles easier on the user? I am not sure if this makes sense at all. in a nutshell you MUST select ONE divsion, ONE productline and ONE publication type from the category tree, but rendering the entire tree in one field will overwhelm the user and they are likely to get checkbox happy. Lastly, I want to use the new verity plugin, so I need to add some sort of category so I can filter dmfiles into specific collections for searches which will be based on policygroups... ie members can see some "pubtypes", customers can see others, field service engineers see others still...
