Hi all, yes, once again with the link categories. I did read the lists (wp-hackers and wp-testers) about this issue, and I understand the reasons for the changed link behaviour. However, there are still some questions. The version I'm refering to is r4701, checked out half an hour ago. I'm afraid that many people, although understanding the change, will have difficulties with the new way of managing links and link categories. I think the way categories could be created and managed in 2.0.x is much more intuitive than now. Sure, some people add links and (as needed) create new categories in that interface. But many others do it as a top-down-process: they first create the structures (i.e. link categories) and then fill it (with links).
http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4687 I think we need to extend that so that categories that have neither links nor posts are shown.
Also, when I upgrade a 2.0.6 installation to 2.1 by uploading the new files and running /wp-admin/upgrade.php, the db table wp_linkcategories is still kept. If I just for fun drop this table, everything seems to remain smooth. So I wonder why this table is kept. Just for the backwards compatibility with some plugins?
It needs to be dropped before 2.1 is released. It's been hanging around while we discussed the new design and implementation. Ryan
