Re: Deleting categories
As I had my own troubleshooting thread for the same reason masa mentioned above, I’d also opt for undeletable parent categories.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: Deleting categories
I’m easy either way, but I suppose it makes sense to prevent deletion of parents if they are “used” (have children) regardless if those children have things assigned to them or not.
The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Re: Deleting categories
I have a working changeset prepared… it does have one downside: you cannot delete a parent and its children all at once. You first have to delete the children before the parent can be deleted. Is this an acceptable side-effect?

Re: Deleting categories
Is that the only downside?

Yes, of course :)
Thanks, Ruud!

Re: Deleting categories
You mean during a multi-edit delete? So if I checked all of:
- fruit
- strawberries
- raspberries
- blackberries
and did with_selected -> delete, only the three subcats would go? Providing they were unused of course.
Not an insurmountable problem, I say go for it.
