html category / sub-category best view - html

I have a mysql database populated with categories/subcategories, and I'm on the way to build a php/html/css presentation module to show the hierarchy above mentioned.
My objective is to have a simple and clean way to list those categories, widthout getting to confuse to the client (note that there's no "level" limit to the subcategories, so there may be 1 or 100).
I'd like you guys to advise me some visual examples on how to display my categories.
Thank you in advance!

You could emulate Mac OS's Finder:

How about a windows-like tree view? People are used to that.

Two different Autodesk Forge apps are running same code

Please, it looks to me that I am asking a very basic question; however I could not find an explanation yet. I used .NET and both exercises for view models and modify models work great individually. I mean that I found no problems testing view models when this one was the only example available or modifying models when this one was the only example available. However, when both examples are available, doesn't matter which was the example selected and executed from inside Visual Studio that always goes to modifying models. Please notice that I created two different apps (obviously with different ClientId and secret key). Maybe not quite a good understanding of Autodesk Forge apps? Any help to understand what is going on?
Thank you very much!
If the two projects are in one solution you can specify which one to run as the default project as well as several projects at once and their order - see here and here...
Looks like this is rather a question on VS than Forge so I'd suggest to remove the autodesk-forge tag...

Restricting multi category to set number according to select package

I am helping a client build a wordpress directory. The theme in use is ListingPro. My client is wanting to restrict the number of categories allowed according to the package selected.
for example:
Gold package - No. of catergories allowed: 5
Platinum package - No. of catergories allowed: 10
At the moment, the theme allows for all categories to be selected.
I dont have the coding knowledge to make this happen. I am looking for advice, help or a direction I should look at for help.
I can't say for sure without digging into this plugin's code, but I'd start by looking through and seeing where and how it stores the information of listings.
Basically, you're looking to intercept the function that posts a listing, and you'll want to do a get_posts (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_posts/) request that sees how many posts attributed to the logged in user has made with any given category.

Create team sections (or segregated areas)

I'm considering using mediawiki as my company's internal knowledge base and am trying to understand how to build out effective team sections. Unfortunately, I'm not finding much information on this.
Ideally we'd have a separate knowledge base sections for devs, product, design and HR; all in the same system with the ability to cross-link. Each of these sections would be able to have it's own landing page and we could search for content specifically within that section.
It looks like using categories might work, but initially this feels clunky and I'm not sure if it provides the level of hierarchy I'm looking for. I would love to get your ideas and any links to examples that have done this well.
Thank you!
If by segregation you mean limited visibility (ie. team members generally shouldn't be able to see other members' content), then MediaWiki is probably not the right choice for you as it does not have granular read access control.
If you are simply looking for content organization, namespaces provide an ugly but easy way of partitioning (almost everything supports filtering by namespace). Categories are more elegant but not so well integrated - you can filter search results by category but you can't do it for most other things like recent changes or user contributions.

Open source relationship mapping/visualization APIs?

A local group is mapping the relationships between board members and various organizations around my town. I am trying to help them get some visualizations together.
The visualizations focus on relationships between people and organizations eg who is on which boards and will be drawn dynamically. I am assuming I will be generating XML via PHP or Perl in order to feed the map drawing engine.
I am hoping to find a mapping API/library like the one for

Can I make a customer self-service product selection tool for the web/AIR with just Flash/Actionscript 3?

Can I make a customer self-service product selection tool for the web/AIR with just Flash/Actionscript 3 without having to use a separate database like SQLite?
Essentially, after selecting a general category, the client drags and drops the tag words relevant to their needs into an adjacent box and a list of products that correspond to those tags, from greatest to least, appears in the box next that.
I know that database driven apps are really on the rise but I am not clear if this situation really warrants it as I am just starting to learn (Lynda.com) and am coming from more of a content/design mentality.
Thank you and pardon my noobness.
A pure ActionScript 3 tool would work fine, but no matter which way you slice it you will have to store somehow which products map to which tags. Whether you do this via a database, a XML file or just compile it into your application will depend many things including:
How many products you have;
Will the application required an Internet connection;
How often will the database need to update.
and so on. Note also, that you will only be able to have a local SQLite database in AIR. When running in a web browser that API is not available (for Flash apps, anyway).
