Re: [wp-testers] Priorities of the categories
But it seems to have stalled. I don't have my trac login with me, can someone ask on trac for a status update?

Something like this. There's a ticket for that: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18752 Even without this filter, this is seriously easy to do. For one project, Otto and I wrote a replacement for the categories metabox that, next to the checkboxes, also included a column of radio buttons. You could choose which category was the primary category for that post. We would then store the selected primary category in postmeta. Then we would filter on pre_post_link and replace %category% with the actual term name of the primary category. There are other filters too, like post_link and post_type_link. This can require duplicating a few lines of core logic depending on your goals, but point is, there's almost always a decent method to do something even if there isn't a dead-obvious filter.

Andrew - just to sanity check my understanding... Does using post meta cause an extra db hit? Andy.

When retrieving the information, no, because all postmeta is always pulled for a post during a normal query, unless you specifically tell the query not to do so. -Otto ___ wp-testers mailing list wp-testers@lists.automattic.com http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
