Title: logic of section, category, and menus
Post by: xmanhattan on July 22, 2008, 17:56:33: Hello all,

Trying to figure out what is logically the best way to setup my family tree pages and menus.

I want to have it shown as follows:
Genealogy
   Symbolisms
   Bournias
    Historical
       chart #1
       chart #2
   Martinez
    Historical
       chart #1
       chart #2

The charts are images that I will place into content item pages.

Should it be:
SECTION CATEGORY MENU - table content categories
   Bournias Bournias
   Martinez Martinez

or
SECTION CATEGORY MENU - table content categories
   Genealogy Bournias
   Genealogy Martinez

or perhaps another alternative?

You can also change them any time you want by moving them to another place
You can also use autonomous pages and place them in a hierarchical menus

I tried different strategies and found that the following works best just in case anyone else wants to know.

SECTION CATEGORY
Genealogy Genealogy
Genealogy Bournias
Genealogy Martinez

As for the menus, I have them setup as follows:

Genealogy Genealogy table content section
Genealogy Symbols link content item
Genealogy Bournias table content categories
Genealogy Martinez table content categories

The reason that this has to be done properly is that after all the charts have been setup, it will be difficult to correct later.
