1) I did the following: Created some categories and under these, subcategories. they had points in it, like "Category 1.2.1" or so.
Also after regenerating counters, the urls did not work. Apache gives an error the object couldn't be found (404). What characters are allowed?
Then, I changed the writing to substitute the 1.2.1 to 1_2_1 (and did regenerate again) This gave another error. Now WSN tells me the site does not exist in the directory.("No such content exists. The link you are following seems to have been incorrect.") Strangely this does not happen with every newly created category (only if they have points in it->404), but with some (?!!) - this 2nd error seems to be a caching problem in opera!! hmm, but, it DOES happen like this if one created category has Umlauts in it. The created URL will be correctly "../Bar/" instead of "../Bär/", but no content!
What is wrong?
2) While regenerating counters, it shortly gives some error-messages at the top concerning mysqli.php (line18) or so. i also had these messages in earlier installs. Anyhow, atm I'm on local using xampp, but later in time, my provider does not support mysqli. how do i switch it off anyhow?
3) Another thing: When I add new categories, there are options for "2ndary" and for "related categories". what's this for? will my category just also be instanced also under the 2nd given category? why, then, is the selcetion field for these so offensive, and the "subcategory" selector on top only one row and hard to recognize? I always accidently select 2ndary instead of choosing a "subcategory". I bet also my users will. This is really hard to see and understand. Many errors could appear because of this, if users do it wrong.
1) Only characters which could see in a url are allowed, since they're being places in a url. A . can't work because that's reserved for file extensions. Basically, stick with alphanumeric.
Non-english characters in URLs are not supported in any consistant way that I know of, hence all the talk of internationalized domain names which still hasn't come true. I do have support for german characters in the htaccess, but most browsers aren't cooperative (if I recall, links would only work in opera).
2) When you do a setup on a host that doesn't have mysqli it'll install with the regular mysql instead. If you're trying to tranfer config.php then you can change both instances of mysqli to mysql.
3) Secondary categories are aliases, such that the same category is in many different different places. No idea what you find offensive about it. If you mean size, it has to be larger to allow multiple selections. By default users don't have permission to select secondary categories, so don't enable it for them if you don't want to.

< No idea what you find offensive about it
