Description Dan Bolser 2009-07-27 13:50:16 UTC
I'm developing a SMW/SF site for a bunch of people who have rarely used MW. I'd like to hide Category pages from the user (they are just one more source of confusion, proliferating the number of pages that present the same information, increasing the chance that the user to feels 'lost' on the site).

I'd like to hide the Category page with a #REDIRECT, so that the user is taken directly to a summary page for the 'Class', showing the relevant information, queries, forms and links. However, if I use a #REDIRECT on the Category page, I loose the ability to specify '[[Has default form::<form-name>]]', breaking the standard system. If I could put the '[[Has default form::<form-name>]]' in the Template for the Class, things would be repaired.

I could redesign the site and not use categories anywhere, but I'd have to rewrite all my queries.

I could make the category page the 'summary page' for the Class, but the page title is ugly and confusing for noobs.


Just a suggestion for some 'redundant' functionality - if possible.
