Categories fieldtype as simple inputs (checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns).

To install Simple Categories, follow these steps:

1. Download & unzip the file and place the simplecategories directory into your craft/plugins directory
2. -OR- do a git clone https://github.com/timkelty/craft-simplecategories.git directly into your craft/plugins folder. You can then update it with git pull
3. -OR- install with Composer via composer require timkelty/craft-simplecategories
4. Install plugin in the Craft Control Panel under Settings > Plugins
5. The plugin folder should be named simplecategories for Craft to see it. GitHub recently started appending -master (the branch name) to the name of the folder for zip file downloads.

Simple Categories works on Craft 2.4.x and Craft 2.5.x.

"Limit" validation gets a little weird when using categories with multiple levels. When you select nested category, you're also selecting its parent, so with a limit of 1 you wouldn't be able to select anything from a nested level.
