I successfully tested a big new feature for SubCategories last night: automatic creation of category hierarchies. This is a MT 3 specific feature. To make use of this feature, you would simply need to create a category containing multiple category names seperated by a specified delimeter (I'll use '::' in this example).
So, if you create this category through the regular MT interface:
Alpha :: Beta :: Gamma
The following category hierarchy will be created:
- Alpha
- Beta
- Gamma
- Beta
Alpha and Beta will only be created if they do not exist already. If both Alpha and Beta do currently exist in the blog, creating a category named Beta :: Gamma would also produce the same result, assuming the relationship between Alpha and Beta have already been created.
One question just occurred to me. Does anybody want to be able to create multiple categories at the same level. For example:
Alpha :: Beta :: Gamma, Delta
- Alpha
- Beta
- Gamma
- Delta
- Beta
; "Feed Stats Widget")
; "Google Referrer")
; "MediaConsumer Template Output")
; "MediaConsumer List Items")
; "MediaConsumer Edit Item")
; "mt-qotd.png")
; "Vox-qotd.png")
And where would you specify this ? In an entry ? When making a new category ?
In the MT categories page, where you normally go to create categories.
