SubCategories version 0.2

Here are some big updates to the SubCategories plugin:

  • Caches category hierarchy to improve rebuild times (thanks Brad)
  • Updated web interface based on changes from Wai Siow
  • Added a number of checks to interface
    • Category cannot be its own parent
    • Categories must be in the same blog
    • Permissions to edit categories must be present
    • Attempt to prevent cyclical hierarchies
  • Added/Changed the following tags:
    • MTParentCategories:
      • Added exclude_current argument, to exclude the current category from the list
    • MTParentCategory:
      • Container tag for only the immediate parent of the current category
    • MTSubCategories:
      • Added include_current argument, to include the current category in the list
    • MTSubCategoryPath:
      • Based on Brad's suggestion, this is a short-cut tag for the following template code:
<MTParentCategories glue="/"><MTCategoryLabel dirify="1"></MTParentCategories>

I do not quite understand what you wants to say with "take a crack at creating faceted categories" Could you be more specific?
