Create Categories - auto creates several sub categories
« on: November 29, 2002, 08:33:32 PM »
Can this be done?

I'm setting this up for a band that wants to keep a tour history.  I made a category for every year.  Each year has a new category for each concert.

Here is an example of the hierarchy

2000
---2000-9-30 - Ram's Head Tavern - Annapolis, MD  [date/venue/location]
------Pictures............ [pictures from the concert]
---------Artwork........ [cd/vcd/dvd artwork for the audio & video]
------Audio
---------First Set....... [mp3's from the first set]
---------Second Set... [mp3's from the second set]
------Video............... [mpg's of songs from the show]

So I create the concert category.  Now I have to create 6 more categories.  So when I add a new concert I have to manually add these 6 categories...There are over 1,000 shows I'm looking to add.  That's 6,000 categories I have to manually add.

I would like to think there is an easier way maybe when you add a new category there is a drop down menu for "sub category templates".  If would default to none but then I could choose the a template like the one I want above.

I don't think there is any like this in 4images right now.  I am wrong?

If there isn't would anyone else be interested in it?
