Category tree

[sveetch]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There is only a single level of categories.

Describe the solution you'd like Category could have a parent category and so a category could have many category children.

This would result to a tree of categories. It is very basic to implement in model but more difficult to implement well in rendering and views.

We will need some performant enough code to render a category tree without making too many big querysets.

Did Category URL will have to consume multiple name to get a high URI ? This would need to validate every category name for correct relationship. Like for "Camembert" category, with parent category "Cheese", the url could be /cheese/camembert/.

There may be some missing points for this subject yet.

I think since tags features is on the way into a 0.5.x release, multiple categories in an article become counterproductive, especially with category tree where the multiplicity will lead to very complex queryset.

Also there is a question about the article listing from a top category should be recursive to its children or not.

The article listing should not be recursive into category children, such as "Cheese" only list its direct article and not the ones from "Camembert". However, a convenient method may exists to recursively retrieve all article from a category and its children, but it would be only for further specific usages. The category tree feature may be released without this.
