Is it possible to set the status of the categories in the gallery module to open or closed?
I am currently dealing with these scenarios:
1. My client wants to temporarily hide the display of a particular category name while she waits for updated content. - In the galleries>categories control panel the only option is to ‘delete’ it - resulting in all previous entries to this category being deleted! Is there an easy way for my client to do this with out me editing the template code to omit a particular category.
2. My client starts populating a category she has set up but does not have time to finish adding all the entries. She would like to set the status of the category to ‘closed’ (ie. not display it in the category links list) until she has finished adding all the entries.
Both of the above scenarios are really needing the same thing - the ability for user in the control panel to set the status of a gallery category to ‘open’ or ‘closed’ - without needing to edit templates (which would be scary!)
any thoughts?
EDIT
It just occurred to me one way of doing it would be to set up a ‘holding category’ that is coded not to be displayed on the site category list - then manually open each entry in the ‘view entries’ and assign the entry to the new ‘holding category’.
a bit long winded, but better than client being forced to delete the entries in order to not show a catgory..
