I know I suggested this but I did a search and can no longer find it. At the sake of trying not to tick Brian off I am bringing it up again to make sure it stays in the suggestion forum.

When a user adds the “My Categories’ module to there blog listing page, it list all the categories they have created. The problem is that is lists all categories that have created in every category throughout Dynamics. Is there a way to make it only list the categories that the user has created that fall under the category they the blog that you are currently viewing is in? This way if the user has more then one blog then it will only list the categories they have created for that blog category they are in.

The reason being is if I am viewing a persons blog under the category Sports and a user has some sub categories under the sports category like teams, players and gear then that is the only ones I want to see in the “My Categories” module while viewing that blog. I do not want to be able to see the other categories that they created under their hiking category.

Good idea. I'm pretty sure that would just be a matter of adding a new setting and one variable to that module's .php file, so I'll see if I can get that worked in before RC1.

Another idea on this Brian.

Once you get the My Categories working so that they only display the categories that the user has falling under that specific category then is there a way that we can keep the users sub-categories from displaying on the tops of the Browsecategory listing? This way they will only show up in the My Categories module.

I'll add that to my to-do list to look into after the public release, but I'm not really sure right now if it's going to be plausable.

Thank you for considering. The only reason I mentioned it was because for some of us that will use the My Category modules it would be senseless to have the categories listed in two places on the same page.
