Are you talking about the quick filter feature on the MT entry listing screen? That is working for me. If you're talking about filtering the tables through code, the mt_entry.entry_category_id is blank because it is a deprecated field. All category assignments are done through the mt_placement table and requires a join.
thanks for the reply, I suppose mt_placements should help.
Yes I was trying to write a plugin such that the categories dynamically appear on the quick filter menu. Any ideas how to go about it?
The MT entry listing screen already has a quickfilter by category (not the system overview listing, which would have to load all categories across all blogs, and that isn't very scalable). What am I missing?
