Hi all — I’m trying to get hyphens as my separator for an output of mt:CategoryBaseName but it’s not working … I get whatever the basename is, period.
All my basenames are set with underscores as the separator and the documentation clearly states this will be changed if you specify it as a dash instead. http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/tags/categorybasename.html
Anyone else seeing this problem or have a suggestion?
My instance is upgraded from 3.x and the category basenames were set a long time ago. The upgrade went well and all appears normal otherwise.
TIA — rd

What exactly are you referring to here? If it's the basename you see on the Edit Category screen, it's correct as is and isn't going to change. (That's the point of basenames.) This is only what's stored in the database, not necessarily what comes out of the application. I assume you use Convert Line Breaks or some other text filter on your entries. This is similar to the likelihood that when you input your content you probably don't manually create all the P tags around around your paragraphs, etc.
Next, where is this not working(archive mapping, template), and could you paste in the code responsible for that chunk? (NOT the whole template, please.)
