Tutorial for Category Menus

I might be a little slow on this feature, but I'm having a hard time understanding it.

I understand the ability to create an indented menu structure, but what's the "content" field for? Can I use this for an entire site structure, kinda like I use Multi Record sections for single level menus?

Is there a tutorial on this capability? I didn't see one in the docs, but may have overlooked it?

I've read some posts that talk about getCategories instead of getRecords, but don't know where to find the docs that show what getCategories returns vs what getRecords returns...and for that matter, why would I use it and not getRecords?

Any info would be great - I just need a nudge in the right direction on this one.

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,

The category menus is still a bit of an advanced, undocumented feature, but it is quite powerful. You can read more about it on my original post: http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=64259#64259

And it is possible to create a whole site structure with it.

Hope that helps, have a look through the original post and code and let me know any other questions you might have. :)
