[ic] Upgrading From 4.5.6 To 4.5.8...

[John Beima]

G'Day Cameron,

If you edit item with either the item edit page or table edit code of the admin 
it erases teh category from both the item and the pull down menu, unless you 
re-type it in the box. Then it stays fine.

As to the missing fields, they are missing in the item editor page of the admin 
section. For instance... You have short and long descriptions, but you don't 
have title. The results pages shows the title and not the short description. You 
have the image field, but not the display field. So you can enter the large 
image, but not the small one. I think I may not of been clear enough on this 
one.

Actually yes, I didn't update/upgrade the mv_metatag file. I could try it again, 
with that file updated.... I am not sure how this will effect the admin select 
an item to edit table, but heck I'll try anything!

John
