I feel this may have been brought up before but…
I’d like to be able to assign the auto-assign category parents preference per weblog. Here’s my case:
1) I’ve been extensively using Mark Huot’s excellent Static Pages module, which requires auto-assign cat parents off, but in most what I would consider “normal” cases the exact opposite is required.
2) It would be easy, I’ve hacked it in but hate doing that, around line 3540 in cp.publish.php I’ve added the ugly:
if($weblog_id != 1)
{
$this->fetch_category_parents($_POST['category']);
}
but it could check for the setting instead of my hard-coded webog id.
3) It would be useful for setups other than those using the pages module, and adds a level of granularity without undue overhead (I believe).
4) A hook added there for an extension to be either created or added to the Pages module would be another alternative.
5) Paul is the best. Ever.
Thanks for your consideration.
