Quote:If the problem is that because they are "regular" pages they are still shown on the 'View All Pages' admin page, then the only thing I can suggest is that mvlcek introduces a 'Hide from 'View All Pages'' option for Special Pages, so it at least feels or seems like it isn't a regular page. With this option, I'd fail to see why anyone wouldn't choose to use Special Pages if it provides everything else that they want, since really it is a cosmetic gripe more than anything else :-) In fact, because the pages are just indexed as normal pages, your users can still search for the items with the regular search function of the site: something that could not be achieved if the items were completely separated.
Well, first of all - a 'Hide from 'View All Pages'' option is a nice option.
second: I'm not the "end user" , and end users need acsess only to places where no damage can be done :-( ... which means that limiting them to a "stand-alone-catalog" (nested-categories and items) is a good idea.
third: dealing with catalogs - categories is important - the ability to theme the categories nav (combo etc'), and here I'm limited to the theme nav
