Once upon a time, Evan Nemerson implemented our nifty Multi-Category feature.
Now we're constantly getting requests of users who want to sort the categories in a custom way.
AFAIK Evan implemented a "category_left, category_right" Tree view of categories, where ordering them should work without creating a new "sort_order" column.
The places where such code would need to be injected is:
* include/functions_entries.inc.php:
- serendipity_fetchCategoryRange()
- serendipity_fetchCategories()
- serendipity_rebuildCategoryTree() [?]
* include/admin/category.inc.php [Interface for Order up/down might be borrowed from ordering plugins]
Anyone here, that wants to get involved with the code and credited of course?
(On a related item, if someone already inspects the categories code, he might wants to make Category names/titles be subject to the multilingual plugin, so that one can have different category names within the s9y core, depending on the language)
Best regards,
Garvin
