Categories

[knownasilya]

This would be nice, to make modules more manageable. I think something like breach-module-* could specify a category, and maybe we could crowd source that. What I mean is to only add it as a category in the module manager if there are n (e.g. 5) modules with that category.

This could also be cached.

Perhaps from count of keywords. Like if there bookmark keyword appeared 5 times it would be turned into a category. Something like that?

[knownasilya]

Yeah, that would probably be less restrictive and would work with all keywords.

@knownasilya I can include categories (I will be) through a module table on my breach database for my synch module. I can make it so you can hook like talked in the other issue and return json list (name, description, etc) to the client (application/json).

@matthewjamesr I think we want to keep the searching and category discovery together. It also makes sense on the modules page so you can basically use the categories to filter.

[matthewjamesr]

@knownasilya no worries, I would like to possibly in the future merge some code to populate my front end module management. I am wanting to do it visually like: top modules, most active, newest, the list alphabetical below; for example.

[knownasilya]

@matthewjamesr we will probably have that in the module manager :smile:

@knownasilya then as long as it is exposed and I can access it we are good :D
