This appears to be a bug: I can't have two different weblogs which use the same name for parent categories but have different subcategories.

e.g.

Blog1: Photos --> Family

Blog2: Photos --> Nature

I wasn't quite sure exactly where you meant to put if(defined $cat). This is what I tried:

push @{$children{$parents{$id}}}, if(defined $cat);

but it results in empty output so I have put back the original sub_cats.pl file.

I deleted all the SubCategories entries from mtplugin_data and redefined them across all my blogs.

I can't reproduce the error I described in my first comment above -- now I have a different but related problem.

I have two weblogs, both of which have the category 'Photos'.

Weblog 1 has these subcategories assigned to 'Photos': 'Parties', 'Holidays', 'Nature'.

Weblog 2 so far has only one subcategory of 'Photos', namely 'Holidays'.

When I try to rebuild the Weblog 2 index which uses the container tag <MTEntriesWithSubCategories category="Photos">, the error I get is:

Build error in template 'Category: Photos': Error in <MTEntriesWithSubCategories> tag: No such category 'Parties'.

If I rename 'Photos' to say 'Photographs' in Weblog 2, the page rebuilds without error.

I do agree with -b.gr- (message no.3).

When using MTEntriesWithSubcategories, if there are no subcategories in any one category, the script fails for all subsequent categories in alphabetical order.

e.g.: If I have the following structure:
Category 1 (no articles)
-- Category 1.1 (a few articles)
Category 2 (a few articles)
Category 3 (no articles)
-- Category 3.1 (a few articles)
-- Category 3.2 (a few articles)
Category 4 (a few articles)

The tag shows a proper list of articles for Category 1 and Category 2, but not for categories 3 or 4.

I was wondering if this can be fixed fast. I can't create dummy sub-categories because some of my other templates do different things if there are no subcategories.

Thanks.
