I'm in the process of taking things out of our codebase and into content where they belong, things like navigation and listings of categories. I really enjoy the features offered up by the Low Reorder add-on. I use Draggable to manage the order of categories within a category group, but I would only need a subset of these categories.
E.g. given a category group of:
- Alpha
- Beta
- Carrot
- Doc
- Elephant
- Mouse
I may just want 3 of those in a custom order in one place, 4 of them in a different order in another, but all I'd need are the category names, url_titles, and in the desired sequence. Don't need entries. Just the categories.
I might just go ahead and make a channel just for entries with 1:1 relation to categories (maybe along with a WB Category Select field as the relation) and then use Low Reorder to create subsets as desired. But I really want to avoid having to essentially enter content twice and any overhead of channel:entries when all I really need is a list of category names and url_titles. I suppose a bonus would be getting to using the entry title over the category name as an option or something.
I could add custom fields to the category group(s), but then you wouldn't be looking at the set in front of you.
Before I set off to do this I figured I might as well ask the community if there is anything like Low Reorder just for categories? Or if there's an existing module, add-on, or method to do this that slip passed me?
Thanks.
