Fullcategory
By default, blosxom will return results for partial category name matches. For example, if “telephone” is a category, these would all return posts about telephones:
- http://example.com/telephone
- http://example.com/telepho
- http://example.com/tele
(If “television” was also a category, that last example would include posts from both the television & telephone categories)
This behavior gets in the way of Fletcher’s emptymessage plugin, so I wrote the fullcatgory plugin. Fullcategory changes Blosxom so only full category names will give results. This lets the emptymessage plugin do its thing. I’m pretty sure that with both emptymessage and fullcategory installed, I will be able to run an automatic link checker over my site and find dead (404) links, where before some links went to empty blosxom pages.
