Using an MTEntries container within MTTopLevelCategories does not display only entries within that category -- instead it seems to assume a global context.

I am doing this in an index template:

This problem seems to also exist within MTSubCategories

I really needed this to work, so I edited the source. It seems to have worked, but I am an amateur at such things, so perhaps I broke something else in the process.

In mt/lib/MT/Template/Context.pm, after the line:

CODE

local $ctx->{__stash}->{'subCatIsLast'} = !scalar (@$cats);

(around line 2603)

I pasted the following (from the SubCategories hdlr):

CODE

###cut and pasted from MTCategories
use MT::Promise qw(delay force);
my $blog_id = $ctx->stash('blog_id');
my $needs_entries = ($ctx->stash('uncompiled') =~ /<\$?MTEntries/) ? 1 : 0;
local $ctx->{__stash}{entries};
local $ctx->{__stash}{category_count};
my @args = (
{ blog_id => $blog_id,
status => MT::Entry::RELEASE() },
{ 'join' => [ 'MT::Placement', 'entry_id',
{ category_id => $cat->id } ],
'sort' => 'created_on',
direction => 'descend', });
if ($needs_entries) {
my @entries = MT::Entry->load(@args);
$ctx->{__stash}{entries} = delay(sub{\@entries});
$ctx->{__stash}{category_count} = scalar @entries;
} else {
$ctx->{__stash}{category_count} = MT::Entry->count(@args);
}
