# Multisite Site Category ![MTT logo](https://raw.github.com/brasofilo/Private-Comments-in-CPT/master/logo.png)

WordPress plugin for managing sites categories.

## Description

The plugin adds a new field "category" to the Site Info screen. 

A sortable column is also added in the Sites list screen.

A Categories submenu is created under Sites, add or remove categories there.

The column `mature` in the table `wp_blogs` is being used as index to the categories.  

This is a workaround to allow sorting the sites based on categories.  

There's a filter being applied (except in the sites screen) that tells WordPress that the site is **not mature**:

```

if( 'sites.php' != $pagenow )

    add_filter( 'blog_details', array( $this, 'hack_mature_queries' ) );	

public function hack_mature_queries( $details )

{

    $details->mature = 0;

    return $details;

}

```

Sooo... this workaround assumes the Multisite doesn't contain mature material ;)

Right now, there's no category selection when creating or signing up for new sites.  

The code from the old plugin is [still present](https://github.com/brasofilo/multisite-site-category/blob/master/inc/class-sites-categories-signup.php), but inactive.  

To be able to sort the sites, the logic changed a lot and I haven't revised the new site features.

Available hooks:

```

// Cache time, default 3600 (1hour)

add_filter( 'msc_transient_time', function(){ return 1; } );

// For debugging purposes

add_filter( 'msc_show_mature_column', '__return_true' );

```
