Good Morning,

I am creating a component for 2.5 that will be used to maintain a hierarchy
of categories, topics and finally articles or posts.  I need to permit
admins to add categories, topics and posts as well as move them from one
branch to another.  Does anyone have suggestions on code samples for this
task, specifically for the model and view classes?  

Thanks,
Sid

Do you simply want to use categories with your component items? If so,
it is exceedingly simple. All you do is add a category manager and add
a category id column to your item table. You can look at
administrator/components/com_weblinks/weblinks.xml to see how to add a
menu item for a component category manager. Good luck. Mark

I'm not sure. There are about 6 branches that will contain several nodes  
per branch. Each node will have several properties such as users, job  
posts, news articles and more. Would category manager do the trick here?

If I understand you correctly, you are describing the items. The way
it works in Joomla is that an item (for example an article) is
assigned to exactly one category. The categories are nested any way
you like. So the category table does the work of creating the
hierarchy and nodes, and the item just gets a free ride by being
assigned to the category. I don't see why that wouldn't work in most
cases. The item table is just a simple flat table where each item
points to a node in the category table. If that works, you get this
functionality almost with zero effort. Mark
