When you go to Managment > Add Category, where is the html located for the category name and the forum selector under it? I have looked in several files and cant see to find it.

I think it's cp_skin_managment.php in skin_acp folder.

that file doesnt even have the word "category" in it. Anywhere else?

try searching inside the source category file in action_admin for the skin file that being loaded, there are some parts in acp that loads skin files.

The actual HTML is the function forum_form in skin_acp/IPB2_Standard/acp_skin_html/cp_skin_forums.php.  The reason you don't see the word category is that it uses that same function for both adding a new forum and adding a new category, it just passes in variables to switch between what needs changed.  What exactly do you want to change on this page?

Category Description mod.

I want to add a textarea box that will allow admins to add a description to a category. I was gonna use html logic also, if the field is empty for that category then no html is shown for the area under the category.

Find:

CODE

EOF;

if( $form['addnew_type'] != 'category' )
{
$IPBHTML .= <<<EOF
    <tr>
           <td width='40%' class='tablerow1'><strong>Forum Description</strong><div class='desctext'>You may use HTML - linebreaks automatically converted to
</div></td>
           <td width='60%' class='tablerow2'>{$form['description']}</td>
    </tr>

Change to:

CODE

    <tr>
           <td width='40%' class='tablerow1'><strong>{$form['addnew_type_upper']} Description</strong><div class='desctext'>You may use HTML - linebreaks automatically converted to
</div></td>
           <td width='60%' class='tablerow2'>{$form['description']}</td>
    </tr>
EOF;

if( $form['addnew_type'] != 'category' )
{
$IPBHTML .= <<<EOF

Save and upload.
