    SubCategories Plugin Data Migration

    I am sure all of you folks who have been using my plugin are dreading having to recreate your category hierarchy now that the code has moved into the MT core. Well, here is a script that I whipped together to migrate your data from the plugin version to the MT core version (as of version 3.1).

    Download plugin-to-db.txt, rename it to plugin-to-db.cgi, upload it to your base MT directory, change its permissions so it can be excuted (usually 755), and then run it in your browser. When you are finished, be sure to remove the file from your MT installation.

    I have only tested this on my installation as I was upgrading from 3.0D to 3.11, but it worked just fine for me.

    Important Note: When upgrading to a 3.1x version of MT, remove all of the files associated with the SubCategories plugin before starting the upgrade.

      I'm now using the MT 3.2 version and I'd like to know if you've made an upgrade or the plug-in for the new MT? It doesn't work well on the 3.2. I don't know why so I anybody has an answer ... ;)

      Thanks a lot Mr Raynes to take a little piece of your time.
