Board categories #12

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

board categories. User definable categories such as swf, nsfw, text boards,
image boards, weeaboo boards, whatever they want as a string. Stored in the
board table as an int and defined by external means (config.php perhaps)

For the time being this could be effectively faked using static pages and the 
board
names being in the manner of /category/board, such as /anime/genkicrisis/ or
/cats/bikecat/

Not saying it's a good idea to do this because I bet there will be isssues with 
doing
it like that, but it will work until proper categories are put in, if ever.

that approach will work until someone wants to name their category 
"anime/manga". if
you want to use a delimiter, you're safer choosing something like |.

Categories are back in for 032, we'll need a new column in the board dbs that 
link to
a new table that holds the categories.

Something like:
in the categories table: id 1, name NSFW
And then in the boards table: catid: 1 name: my nsfw board

Then in the side bar we can sort by category, apply rules based on category, 
etc with
the code

This can be the same thing as sub-boards now (so this will make it easier to 
implement), and I am making this critical for 032

To achieve old behavior (categories), just make a board called cats, with a 
blank template that only lists the category's contents (in this case, bikecat)

For new behavior, you can have a master board (cats) and then if you want to be 
pedantic about it, bikecats is a sub-board.  A more useful example would be 
video games as the category/master board, with minecraft as a sub-board.  Or 
Pokemon.  Or Yu-Gi-Oh, or whatever you wanted.

Board tagging is something that could be implemented later (033) as a 
replacement for board categories old behavior if this is demanded by anyone 
other than Dan.
