This is an old hack that uses the mktree javascript to generate a collapsable Catagories list. This is an image "that says more than a thousand words":

If you have a specific job and can't find time or knowledge I offer custom support on a freelance basis. For both individuals and corporations I can set up single blogs and weave a B2evolution install into your existing site. Most often you will be looking for a specific custom job, like a skin based on your home page or corporate style, a plugin that fulfills your needs or upgrading an old install to the latest version.
As a member of the B2evolution support team ("Afwas") I have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the software and it's implementations. All the skins on this site are converted by me. I made a variety of B2evolution plugins, both custom and for the repository. I can advise you and help you with the lesser known features of the engine.
I will do both small jobs as well as complete sites. All my work will comply to XHTML and CSS standards and come with full warranty on functionality. Furthermore I work on a 'no cure no pay' basis that will ensure a result you will like.
I code in PHP, (X)HTML, SQL, javaScript, jQuery and I'm never lazy when presented with new challenges.
I will normally charge € 20,- / hour for installations and from € 30,- / hour onward when coding is involved. Most likely I will agree on a fixed price based on the hours I think I need to spend on the job. That way you are not unpleasantly surprised afterwards.
Feel free to contact me with your ideas and I will discuss the way in which I can assist you. You find a contact button in the footer of this blog.
