In this days I tried to build a site with localizer 5.x-1.7 and category 5.x.-1.1 but with scarce results (the functionalities are never perfect).
For this reason I need to ask you a hint: in you experience, how should we build a site with localizer and category?
Should we install first localizer with its patches (also to taxonomy.module), configure localizer and then install category and its wrappers (do you know that category use a proper wrapper to taxonomy.module?) and so configure category module?
Or should we install first category and its wrappers, configure it and then install localizer (attempting to adapt your patches in the wrapped taxonomy.module installed by the category module) and configuring it?
I think this two modules are so important and so useful that they must be "compatible"!
Thanks in advance for your hints and suggestions,
Saxx

Libra commentedVery interesting question, I too is puzzled. Really nobody uses Localizer together with Category module?

Mojah commentedI would advise staying away from the category module until it is more stable. I am not exactly sure what its status is at present, but I remember that the developer was on leave for a while. In this case I would imagine that the difficulty you are having is related to the category module and not the localizer. See if you can achieve your requirements with the core taxonomy module, which will be of benefit to you in the long run.

huayen commentedAt begining I also think catagory module is a great one, but now I also stay away from it. I don't like the way all node become a category, since if you have >1000 nodes, it would be really very dofficult to set parent category from a 'very very' long drop-down selection list. Indeed, I find that combining taxonomy context and custom pager modules, we can reach same but more flexible and convenient results.

sunI'm trying to achieve the same - Category and Localizer modules on one site. Since the core Taxonomy module is replaced with a wrapper module from Category module, changes of the Localizer patch for taxonomy.odule no longer exist.
My first try was to re-inject those lines at appropriate places but it seems that Category module does not use the wrapper module for displaying categories and containers. However, those changes are certainly needed for legacy taxonomy functions and so I'm attaching a patch as a starting point for Category module support.

sunCategory module support is available in Localizer v2.x now. Please test.
