[pmwiki-users] Announcement: Media Categories v2.0

[Brent Zupp]

Love this recipe! Thanks Ben!

Question - I'd like to position the category box at the end of the
page's main content (above the PageFooter and GroupFooter).
Currently, the script seems to position the Categories box between the
PageFooter and GroupFooter.

Any thoughts?

Best,
Brent
