Add to NodeBB sections

[youhosi]

What do you think about adding a section to the NodeBB in which categories could be found? This is practical because everything is together now.

Of course, not using plugins.

Example.

I don't see how this is any different from the categories page we already have. You could give some more details on what features exactly you're looking for?

@PitaJ Something that looks like this.

Each forum has sections and it is built into the engine. I think adding this would be a good idea.

We already have category sections as a supported feature on many themes.

@PitaJ where?

@psychobunny @baris, directs the question to you, plan to enter sections? If not, I will simply add them to the topic code using "Custom class" as the section name. Current "sections" look like a category, and it's not about that effect.

@PitaJ Is it possible to rename from "Categories" to something else and add more just like it? That would give the same functionality.

Another good use for separate categories or "sections" is allowing users to collapse and ignore entire sections. It's an organization thing. It's cleaner and nicer for a lot of people.

Something like this:

@youhosi many theme's support category sections, I think that includes persona. There's a toggle when editing or creating a category that turns it into a section.

@Thief-Garrett I'm pretty sure what you're suggesting is covered by exactly that

@PitaJ Covered via toggling a category as a section? This is what I end up with:

@Thief-Garrett I'm not sure how other themes handle it, but by customizing templates and styles it can look however you like.
