Page Providers and Categories

Page Providers open up a lot of possibilities. I tried to get the Categories to act as part of the page system. Was pretty straight forward up to the point where I tried to move a category from on branch to another.

Started to dig a little with Reflector and ended up in the stored PROCEDURE netCategorySave. That procedure doesn’t save the parent ID. So it’s not possible with the API to move between branches. So I had to do it the dirty way and update the database with some sql :(

Well ended up with a PageProvider that can Create, Edit, Move, Delete

 

And the code ofc, only one file

Only one file
