My question is in the same line of
http://www.question2answer.org/qa/14876/how-do-i-make-the-category-filter-affect-the-tag-cloud?show=14876#q14876
I would like to have more freedom to deal with the categories.
1) I know that the categories can be added using the Administrator Panel. Is there a way to add them automatically? For instance, is it possible to read them from a MySQL table? If not, in what PHP file or function I should include this new feature to read for instance from a MySql table?
2) Is there a way to relate categories and tags? In my model, the same tag can belong to different categories? If not, I am thinking in building a table idcategory| idword (tag)| countcategorytag. The last column could be used to measure the importance of a given tag in a given category. Does it make sense?
3) As long a category is chosen as favorite, the questions feed present preferentially questions ralated to the tags that belong to the category? [After some time, the feed could only present the best ranked tags by category] If this not present, could you help me tell where I should take a look to include this new functionality?
Any help will be very appreciated since I am a very beginner in this forum.
