I will also need to add category based content filtering. Any pointers will be very helpful for me to start with this? Thanks in advance. Pavan Edit - On searching around, i found many references to Product category? Is this what I am looking for? I am not sure because I need category's for published content and not products. http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Features/VAT-charging-system/Product-category My blog - http://www.pavankumar.info

If you need to add categories and category based content filtering, you can manage that by creating your own classes and inputing custom datatypes into them. That is, if I understood you correctly. As for the filtering part, you can accomplish this through the fetch function.
