Hi.
I'm using the category module v 1.104 (2006/04/17 07:05:57) with enabled category_menu.
For one container I've set "enable (but disable each item)" for menu items. If I manually activate the menu item for this container and then edit the container, the item is deactivated again.
Is this a bug or a feature? :-)
Or is this already fixed in a newer version?

This is the way category_menu works - it saves menu items as 'custom items', so Drupal has no way of distinguishing changes made by category_menu, with changes made by the user. Numerous issues have been filed against the category package regarding this - see the issue queue.

Also, you are not using the latest version of category - I recommend that you upgrade to the latest version, particularly as Drupal security advisory SA-2006-008 affects the category module, and as the category module was only recently patched to fix this security issue.

Hm, I've already thought something like this.
We don't change this container often so I think it's enough to drop a note to my editors to have a look at this container.

Jup, planned it for this weekend (especially update drupal to 4.7.2).

Thanks for your fast answer.

greetz,

by the way: where is the attribute "hidden container" stored? I searched but could not find it.

It's in the 'hidden_cont' field of the 'category_cont' table.
