SubCategories 1.0 Release Candidate 2

(Okay, so release candidate 1 was pretty short lived)

Here is a release candidate for SubCategories, with added support for the new functionality available in Movable Type 3.0 (though it should be compatible with MT 2.x, but I have not tested it), along with a significantly improved user interface and an API for other plugin developers.

Download one of the following files:

The files need to be installed as follows:

  • sub_cats.pl: in the plugins/ directory
  • mt-sc.cgi: in the base MT directory, and be sure its permissions are set correctly (chmod 755)
  • SubCats.pm and SubCategory.pm: in extlib/rayners/

There are a couple more minor feature additions I need to make, and the SubCategory API needs to be documented. Other than that, however, it is pretty much it its final state. Hopefully there will not be too many bugs to fix. :)

Didn't know whether u still looked in Trac so I'm posting it here.

When setting subcategories, I get this error "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at mt-sc.cgi line 283." after hitting the set button, going back to mt-sc.cgi and pressing refresh I see that the subcategory has been set !

Fixed in the plugin repository, and will be included in the next release candidate.

Just installed this plugin David. Very good! Keep up the great work! :)

Don't forget the MT 2.x changes in the new release candidate.
