Hello.

Is it possible to have categories that only hold other categories and not contain nodes?

For example, if I have:

Category1
--category2
----category3
----category4
--category5
----category6
----category7

In this case I would like categories 3,4,6, & 7 to contain data, and categories 1, 2, and 5 to only be containers for the other categories.

If this is possible how would I accomplish this?

Thank you.

I installed i18n module to enable my site support multilanguage contents.
Is it important of the folder name of each language ?
e.g.
my site is on /default folder
I will create four languages, English, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional and Japanese
Each language folder I created will be

/default/eng for English
/default/chs for Chinese Simplified
/default/cht for Chinese Traditional
/default/jpn for Japanese

I apologize, if this question has been asked several times. I think it's a VERY common thing, and... Yes, I found postings on that, but no answers though! Using taxonomy, I setup two vocabularies: companies and projects (both required categories for "article"). companies are the companies I worked for, projects contains categories (terms) of what I did, such as "media", "publishing" etc. So now, if somebody clicks on a company, a menu for the portfolio sections should appear, showing only those sections, that contain content for the specified company.

I have created a user/role where I want them to be able to set the option to adjust settings under "Publishing Options" like "Publish" and "Promote to front page" etc. But I don't want to allow them to edit nodes created by OTHER users--but I want them to be able to create their own pages and edit them.

My problem is that checking "administer nodes" under "node module" in the administer > access control I give them the ability to edit content; but if this is NOT checked they cannot select options from the "Publishing Options" menu.

I have created several albums and added a few images. Everytime I go to www.url.com/acidfree to view the albums it redirects to www.url.com/node . This has had me stumped for weeks.

Using Acidfree 4.7

any suggestions would help.
Thanks.
