Assigning categories

Top right column for article, FAQ & PDF admin pages is ‘Tech Categories’ these are the categories within the tech area which have the main categories as specified: How-to, Big97, Distributors etc… These will display in the left nav on the live site as a link to display all articles in that category with the excerpt description.  There will also be a dropdown below with quick links to all articles in that category. Categories will not display unless they have articles, FAQ’s or PDF’s assigned to them. Sub categories can be added to the main categories and will display in orange in the dropdowns these will list all articles for this subcat i.e. How-to > GENUINE 97.

Note: When creating a new article, FAQ or PDF it will assign it to ‘Uncategorised’ remember to uncheck this once the correct category(s) have been checked.

Categories can be managed via the Tech Articles subnav in admin left column:

Categories will be listed along with sub cats in the same format as the Product Indexes:
