9719	Please : a filter for $category object in get_the_category_list()	michelwppi	anonymous	"To offer for one post more flexibility in how to display the names of categories in the_category() or in get_the_category_list() -file category-template line 166 - , is it possible to add a filter as the filter existing in wp_list_categories() .  Useful to replace cat name by instance by image ''(iphone compatible theme)'' or to add translation in bilingual or multilingual theme ''(by instance with xili-language plugin)'' without re-creating specific function.

As in classes.php (line 1328), I suggest this modif with a filter named post_list_cats for the start of two loops present in get_the_category_list() (line 187 et 209)


{{{
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
$cat_name = attr( $category->name);
$cat_name = apply_filters( 'post_list_cats', $cat_name, $category );
}}}


and inside the two loops, $category->cat_name replaced by $cat_name


with this filter it will be more coherent to treate cat list in one post or in sidebar for all posts

Many thanks
