OK..Here goes.

First of all. Your question is clear, but I don't think you are understanding the answers...and why did you post this?

The users that are here to help will try to be patient and present themselves in a positive way...."If you can't say(post) anything nice, then don't say(post) anything at all."...that goes for EVERYONE!

Was I rude? or short with you? I don't think so...but I can be if I want :twisted:

I explained Content and Topics once.

Categories are creted for your Content page.
It's like creating an Outline on a piece of paper.
You have your Top category with more categories under it. Each content page you create, you can add it to the Category that it best matches.
It is all for ORGANIZING your site.
PHP-Nuke is Content management. It's for manageing Content etc.

You REALLY need to play around with it and find out what you can and can't do. You're not going to hurt anything if that's what you are worrried about, but I can't walk you through every little thing, nor can anyone else.

For what did they built "Topics" and "Categories" into phpnuke? As Mikem discribed, the Topics are only used for the news postings (Add Story). The Categories are used for the newly from scratch created pages (Content). Would it be possible to have an article which is listed under a certain topic and under a certain category?

Topics are for Organizing your News or Stories ONLY.
Content and Categories are for Organizing your Content pages ONLY.

To answer your last question there, NO you cannot have a Story(Article) that is listed under a Content Category AND a Topic. The Stories(Articles) only list under TOPICS.

No offense, but you are "making a mountain out of a mole-hill"...if you know what that means. It means you are making this more difficult than it is. It's pretty simple actually. And not just for Advanced users, but it is simple for most anyone.
