I'm using CCK node references to create categories and subcategories, to varying levels. I've created a category content type, added a parent field, and set it to Node reference. If I have relativity enabled, the main content node shows on the main page, listing children under it. Great, so far. However, managing this is confusing. If I create a child node (subcategory) and save it, then want to create another one, I have to navigate back to the parent and then I can safely create another child node. Otherwise, subsequent child nodes will get nested under each other, instead of under the original node I was working on when I wanted to add new child nodes to it. So for example, I want to create the following:
I don't want this:Node A
- Node B
- Node C
- Node D
Node A
- Node B
- Node C
- Node D
If I'm not cautious, this is exactly what I get. I'd like a better interface for managing this, and even, if possible, a drag and drop feature to move nodes around at a later time. Any ideas?
I also want to have the URL alias auto created for me using the category (node) name, and possibly display a breadcrumb of the current node's history.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
