I am trying to get to an wordpress admin panel hack which would split the ‘category’ drop-down box in a few drop-downs with subcategories lists (like in this mock-up).
I'm thinking(wishfully) of something dirty like making a function then adding something like a makeCtgPanel('parent_tg_name') that would filter a category box to all the sub-categories of the parent category.
This would act like a pseudo custom taxonomy. At this point, the wordpress codex documentation and built in functions for custom taxonomies are scarce to sometimes non-existent, making its usage rather difficult for dumber people like me. There are a few plugins but again, exampels and documentation are close to none.
On the other hand there are a lot of well documented category-related functions, which even dumber people like me can use.
thanks
