What I don’t understand is this, if a feature is requested so many times and a particular plugin becomes such an indispensable part of a person’s website, shouldn’t the core adjust to this?
One of this day, I will make a list of things discussed in depth for many, many months, widely requested, that should definitely be in core but aren’t without a clear reason why. Maybe as a Feature Ideas forum’s faq :)
The short answer to this would probably be: because none of the dev team’s personal clients needed it badly enough to pay for it.

I’d be most interested in such a list, that way I don’t come on the forum rehashing the same topics.
You can say I just arrived on the Textpattern scene, but I’m old hat in the Open Source arena. I’m appreciative of all the work that has been done in Textpattern up to this point and with 9 sites running TxP, I’m committed to furthering it’s development.

Re: Categories per section
It was also hard for me to make my head around the concept of categories crossing all the sections.

What I’m having problems with is trying to list on the side menu, the categories that pertain to a section. I’ve tried the parameters in txp:category_list to no avail, section=”“ and this_section=”“. I must be doing something wrong somewhere and after many hours messing around with it, I came here to see how other people were doing it.

Yes, I read that thread but the category links on the individual articles were working fine in the sections.
It was just on the side menu category listings and on the archive page using article_custom that the category links were not section aware.

Also the side menu category links weren’t using the section in the generated url.
I’m tellin’ ya man. stw is the way to go.
localized=“y” (New in 1.0) When set to “y”, it will restrict the plugin to only display categories that are part of the current section.
is that what you’re after?

Yes, looks like a plugin is the way to go, I’ll test it locally and see how it works.
