    1. MPTTA for PHP and MySQL - This class support forum
    Short description:
    Manage trees of data stored in a MySQL database

    Supplied by:
    Andrea Giammarchi

    Detailed description:
    This class can manage hierarchic trees of information stored in a MySQL database.

    It can add, move or delete branches inside a database tree created using the Modified Preorder Tree Traversal Algorithm described by Joe Celko in the DBMS Magazine in 1996.

    This class can run using PHP 4 and MySQL 3.X or later.

    @ comment
    I was wondering if this type of classes might not be useful for working with the categories. Might be able to get a better and easier parse with MPPTA.

        Actually, read about this at the other place ... Josh mentioned that this had a possible benefit of speeding up category building.


        And YES.

        I’ve been trying to work out the combination of modx + ecommerce.
