      Description

      Perhaps it is better to limit course/index.php and course/category.php to just viewing the list of courses and categories, and having separate pages:

      course/managecategories.php - managing the tree of categories.
      course/managecourses.php?catid=NNN - managing the courses in a category.

      Then in the admin menu have entries

      • Manage categories
      • Add a new course

      Instead of Add/edit courses
