How can template classes like KTemplate be utilized effectively for organizing forum categories and subcategories?

To effectively organize forum categories and subcategories using template classes like KTemplate, we can create a hierarchical structure where each category can have subcategories. This can be achieved by creating a Category class that contains a list of subcategories, and utilizing the KTemplate class to render the categories and subcategories in a nested format. 

class Category {
    public $name;
    public $subcategories = [];

    public function addSubcategory($subcategory) {
        $this->subcategories[] = $subcategory;
    }
}

class Forum {
    public $categories = [];

    public function addCategory($category) {
        $this->categories[] = $category;
    }

    public function renderCategories() {
        $template = new KTemplate();
        
        foreach ($this->categories as $category) {
            $template->addBlock('category', [
                'name' => $category->name
            ]);

            foreach ($category->subcategories as $subcategory) {
                $template->addBlock('subcategory', [
                    'name' => $subcategory->name
                ]);
            }
        }

        echo $template->render();
    }
}

$forum = new Forum();

$category1 = new Category();
$category1->name = 'Category 1';

$sub1 = new Category();
$sub1->name = 'Subcategory 1';

$category1->addSubcategory($sub1);

$forum->addCategory($category1);

$forum->renderCategories();
