query options of each category
 

i'm currently trying to redesign the gallery's admin "edit categories" page.
i want to remove most to all of the form inputs, as they are slowing down the page too much.

i also want to add it a visual YES or NO whether or not certain options are on or off, but i can't understand the adv_gallery_categories.options field.
if the number is "1666778" - how do i read that?
is there a function already set up to decode that into each setting?

for instance: i want to see whether "Act as Category" is set. also, practically the rest of the options aswell.
i'm going to either then have a GREEN YES OR RED NO on the category listing page, and use AJAX so i can click to change & update the page, without having to go to the edit page or reload the page.
i'll most likely make the moderators a dHTML, possibly AJAX driven drop down or popup, as only 1% of my categories have additional moderators.

this has now been done, and can be found here:
