Got tired of waiting for someone to update their subcategories plugin. for Helpdesk V2...
- 
...so, I wrote my own!
The major benefit? Building your menu structure is dead easy compared to before. It's all XML based. You can report on your data. Since I am storing the menu selections in generic-named fields, you can imagine how much easier reporting would be compared to having a category called 'Software,' then another attribute called 'Microsoft Office,' etc. Waaay easier, IMHO.
It supports your existing categories too!
In the app:

In the new ticket form:

In the user portal:

Check it out and let me know how it works out for you - - - I need feedback! @Bill-Kindle has tried it, so should you!
 - 
Excellent work!
 - 
@scottalanmiller Thanks!
I know you had responded in the other thread too..., so double-thanks!
I wanted to plug (pun intended) my stuff so I can get some feedback - and, I'm kinda proud of the thing...

 - 
That's tops! I have categories set up as "Software - xxx" and "Hardware - xxx". Yay for awespme plugins!
 - 
Very cool stuff, I must say. Good work.
 - 
I've been using this plugin for a week and it's very stable. Doesn't take much to customize either.
 - 
If I used SW helpdesk I would try this!
 - 
 - 
Ditto.
 - 
I also raise my hand to that motion...
 - 
Thanks everyone! I don't have the best javascript chops, but I can hack it to get it to work.
On a side note regarding Javascript, does anyone have any good resources for coding styles/best practices?
 - 
What about the book "JavaScript the Good Parts"
 - 
Going to try adding this tomorrow
 - 
@Rob-Dunn Awesome! Thanks!
 - 
Looks really cool Rob. I'll have to check it out.
 - 
Love that portal - I'm also in the same boat - don't use SpiceWorks helpdesk any longer.

I also recommend this book to everyone I can.

By the way - the latest update adds subcategories to custom forms!

I use this plugin on SW too. It is great!
