“Faux” Double Category Link: Managing Classes that can be in multiple categories

In instances where one Category could be placed in two separate Core Services, all of the Class and Session information has had to be added twice. This new feature creates a primary Category in one Core Service and a secondary category in the other. The Secondary category is a “Faux” category that redirects visitors to the primary category. This is similar to what happens when you look up “cars” in the yellow pages and you are given the message “see automobiles” except that PeaShooter now does it automatically.

This has the advantage of maintaining one set of sessions without remembering to add classes multiple times and avoids discrepancies between two schedules that should be identical.

The “Faux” Category has to be at the bottom of the list of Categories, so we recommend making the faux one in the least likely Core Service.
