Re: How to make num_entries not apply to category views

Alternatively a fix to the wbgpager.py plugin would also work for me.
I found that the previous revision (56) of the plugin works with
pyblosxom 1.4.3. That's revision 56 from Will's code repository:

http://bluesock.org/~willg/cgi-bin/devtrac.cgi/browser/trunk/pyblosxom/wbgpager.py?rev=58

So it would seem that the change the broke this plugin was revision 59:

So I guess those of us using Pyblosxom 1.4.3 have nothing to lose from
using the previous revision of this plugin.

If I could see the diffs for Pyblosxom version 1.3.1 I might be able
to see for myself how to prevent num_entries from applying to category
pages. 1.3.1 was the release where the current num_entries behaviour
was introduced. Unfortunately sourceforge only seems to go back to
1.3.2.
