Subcategories were pulled out in Roller 5.1, they don't exist anymore.
Quoting Roller's founder "I don't know anybody who uses subcategories,"
and as they were trebling the code complexity for something that nobody
or next to nobody was using, we retired them. You can still create menus
in your templates and link them to whatever desired, similar perhaps to
the gaurav theme.

The issue I am currently facing is rather simple – and perhaps the
solution is also at hand should I be a bit more proactive and start
looking around the documentations in greater depth. Anyhow my question
is related to category browsing….
If I have sub-category and I try to call entries from its
super-category the system does not list those entries that are in the
sub-category.
For example if I have a category “Chat” and sub-category of “Celeb
gossips” if I select the “Chat” category browser to see entries only
those will be listed that belong to “Chat”. Those belonging to “Celeb
gossips” will not get listed unless the user specifically selects the
“Celeb gossips” from the Velocity-generated Category tree.
I believe this is a bit awkward situation as majority of users would
like to see what are under Chat category in general and then focusing
on their browsing experience with the sub-category further (well, I do
it like that anyway). What I currently have is that if someone clicks
on category browser then he/she gets nothing despite of high number of
subcategory postings – which will give the assumption that the site is
empty.
I simply used the example to show the category browser from the
Template guide:
#set($rootCategory = $model.weblog.getWeblogCategory("nil"))
#showWeblogCategoryLinksList($rootCategory true true)
Anyway, if anyone knows any workaround to this issue please let me know.
Also if I select the lowest level of category it changes to
“categoryObject.name” in the Simple template (5.04) – but that is my
least worry actually.
Currently I can overcome this issue by re-creating posts in
super-category and canonicalize the article to the original one (Not
fun!).
As always, helps and comments are warmly welcomed!
Thanks
