I would like to have categories that have custom fields that arent going to be relevant to other categories, the display of the category will be completely differnt, adding/editing links will be different and searching will be differnt. So here is my problem. I need to know how would I get the script to use say... Category 1 uses: advancedsearch.tpl edit.tpl displaylinks.tpl Category 2 uses: advancedsearch2.tpl edit2.tpl displaylinks2.tpl and so on.... there are probably other templates too that would need to be modified but I think you get the picture. how feasible is this? some of my categories are going to have a completely different set of custom fields WIll this have to all be done in the same templates with a bunch of statements? I think templates that correspond with categories would be easiest. Please advise

I believe you can use IF statements.

I f you have a bumch of them it may be easier to make custom templates for each combination. You can make and define a custom template for a category. Then in that custom template call other custom templates like the different versions of the other templates ie custom category template displaylinks2.tpl would include advancedsearch2.tpl the template section of the manaul covers easy ways to do both.
