categories.php : clicking on the number of posts should bring up page with all the articles of this category

[xibe]

It might prove useful to be able to see all the articles attached to one category, in the admin interface, by clicking on the number of posts of the wanted category in the /wp-admin/categories.php . Otherwise, there is no way to only display one category's posts - which is a natural way of managing a blog. This would make a great and much intuitive addition to WP.

Well, there is a way, just not from admin. Agreed, though.

I would expand this as well-- in the Manage > Posts page one should be able to browse "category" as well as month. I'm assuming that the request above would put one into manage mode for the resulting list, not just take one to the front-facing category view?

ColdForged's Enahnced View plugins does just this:

I don't know if it's compatible with WordPress 2.0.

Just tested ColdForged's plugin. It doesn't work, out of the box. It's GPL, though, so an enterprising person could update it.

I didn't know about this plugin. But these functions seem so obvious the I'd say it should be included within WP. Dotclear does it by default : http://www.dotclear.net/screenshots/categories.png

Currently in trunk we can can see the post for a specific category on the Manage -> Posts screen, which fixes part of this ticket.

But it would be a usabillity enhancment to make this directly accesible from the Manage -> Categories page, thereby also fixing the other part of this ticket.

The attached patch makes the "Posts" column link to that subset on the "Manage -> Posts" page and it does the same with the "Bookmarks" column, pointing to the "Blogroll -> Manage Blogroll" page.
