What is a Category

A Category on eForum is a group of Boards. And any Board can contains from one to many Topics.
So, the hierarchy structure on eForum is: Category --> Board --> Topic

Categories can be created through Elxis administration console, by clicking on button New (top right). Then we type a title name and clicking on save is done.

Notes

• Any Category has a unique CID
  
• Categories, empty of Boards, are not appearing at the front-end (must contain at least one Board)
  
• The order of appearance for all Categories at the front-end, can be set, using order arrows, through administration console
  
• After we have created a Category, we can only rename or delete it
