    This code doesn’t replace {homepage} with the URL to home.

    {exp:weblog:category_heading}
    <a href="http://{homepage}">Home</a> | {category_name}
    {/exp:weblog:category_heading}

    To narrow it down, this doesn’t work either:

    {exp:weblog:category_heading}
    <a href="http://{homepage}">Home</a>
    {/exp:weblog:category_heading}

    The source simply renders as:

    <a href="http://">Home</a>

    The site’s homepage is entered as index.php and the URL to the root of the site is http://www.example.com, in the preferences. We are running 1.6.

    I’m duplicating- also on 1.6.0 latest build.  There are currently some quirks with parsing category tags - but I’m not dead sure this is one of them.  Do you know if it was working as coded above, prior to the 1.6 upgrade?

    Robin, we never used that category heading tag before in our site.

    Let me do some checking before I confirm this is a bug/quirk.  If it’s what I think it is, it’s really a quirk.  But it’s a quirk that should be addressed in the next build.

    I’ll give the crew a yell- let you know what I find out.  (Note- it will work fine outside of the category heading tag.)

    And just to confirm- it is a quirk that resulted due to the addition of category custom fields in 1.6.  It should be addressed in the next build- i.e., soon.
