I've just finished the function to change which categories an article belongs to. If I'm not being clear, let me try to explain.
Let's say you've written an aticle a few months back and you're looking over your site and you notice that several articles tend to follow the same theme, well you might want to add a new category and then add all of those similar articles to that category. Well, there wasn't a good way to do that, so, at the behest of Mr.Ben Ritter, I've added that functionality.
Basically, how this new function works is, you select "Modify article category" out of the "Articles" menu and it presents you with a file browser. Select which article whose categories you want to modify and hit enter. This will drop you into the editor with a list of categories.
This list may be a little confusing at first, allow me to explain. Every category will be listed, some will have a leading # listed, some won't. The categories without a leading # sign are the categories the current article is already a member of, those that have the leading # aren't currently attached to the article.
It's a little tedious, one article at a time, but, so far, I haven't discerned a smart way to do this in batch form. If anybody has any ideas, drop me a line.
So, getting close to 0.3.5. Still have the user side boxes to rewrite, the podcast browser to fix, the categoryadd routine in the quickwrite() function to fix and the draft feature needs a rewrite. Plus, I need to test the stand-alone export2RSS2.0 script for the upgrade, and the bblog_setup needs an overhaul. At least I'm making progress.
