I recently changed the layout of some of my categories in BlogEngine.Net 1.4.5.0. In short I wanted to add a few parent Categories for the categories that I was already using. For example: I have a category name ".net" that I lump all of my .net related items in but what if I also have some java code or C++ code and I have a category for them as well? To me it makes sense to have a parent category called "development" and then if I want to view all code or development related items including C#, VB, Java, HTML, C/C++ then all I have to do is click on the new parent category and voila you have everything development related no matter what the sub-category is.
So for the bug:
When the Category List control/widget is rendered it looks at the Category.FullTitle to build the URI. This works fine if you are not a sub-category, like ".net" using the example above, but when rendering the URI for these sub-categories its using the FullTitle which is a concatenation of the parents categories and the title of the sub-category: ie: "development - .net". This does not work and that link should really just be to the ".net" category. So here is the simple code fix that I used, but take in mind that you could also make it so that "development - .net" works. I just found a quick and easy fix...
Code fix after the break.
