General Description
Categories are a way to classify Tiki objects, including blogs, image galleries, articles, polls, forums, wiki pages, file galleries. It is similar to, but different from tags

Those with appropriate permissions can define an unlimited, hierarchically organized set of categories which can function like a table of contents for the whole site. Any Tiki object can then be added to one or many categories.

Users can then browse by category. Depending on the settings, category listings can be displayed in a side module, above or below the content.

Permissions can be applied to categories so that objects in a certain category can only be seen by designated user groups.

Up to version 1.9.11, a user with edit permission for a type of object is allowed to edit any object which they can view. In version 2.0 the tiki_p_edit_categorized permission allows editing of objects with the user's categories. See also Categories Details.

By changing the theme from one category to the next it is possible to create visually distinct "zones" in a TikiWiki site.
