Re: Using Joomla Categories (JCategories) in a custom component

They all use the same view from com_categories,  you just need to specify the extension.

Hi there!

I was digging a little on how to use JCategories to get a custom Admin component to store geographic info as State (parent) and City (children).

The admin component will just maintain (edit, add, delete) that information on the Joomla Categories under my component asset. This info will be used on other components.

I was wondering if Joomla has any "automagically" feature to build the admin interface to (add, edit, delete) those categories or should I go with all the process?

Examining the content core component I couldn't see any functionality being coded to take care of the categories...

Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers. Mike
