Tell the user what type of the default category

[Sewar]

Tell the user that the default category is for either posts or links rather than just "Default".

I have created the patch using "if" then modified it to use "switch", use the better one.

Also, it will be helpful to add note about change default categories.

Using if

Using switch

I like this idea.

However we need to decide what we should display if both the default categories are the same category (which is currently possible although not the default behaviour).

Maybe we need to reserve the "Default" string for this.

Using if and tell the user if the category is default for both posts and links

westi: Thanks for the note.

Current patch does not apply cleanly to 2.3

Marking as needs-patch

New patch needed to apply changes to:

1. wp-admin/includes/category.php:function _cat_row
2. wp-admin/edit-link-catagories.php:function link_cat_row

Is this still valid? Is Sewar still working on it?

[jacobsantos]

I say if you want to take it over, then do so. Even if he is, it has been over two years, the patch will need to be refreshed.

It appears to be invalid. For links, you have to choose the category or at least it should be known which one is the default. It would be nice to have the category known, but also seems to be plugin material.

For the posts, when you assign a post title, it will tell you which category it went into, if permalinks are turned on.
