#81 Ver. 1.2 Categories conversion script fixed

[Eloi George]

The Categories conversion script has a few bugs, namely that the generated links point to the Menu Manager conversion script, sometimes doesn't include the "ignore=1" parameter, & it doesn't import the associated images.

Attached is a script ("conversion_patch.txt") that corrects both those problems.

However there is another problem, though. The script completely ignores 3rd-Party module items. To import Article Manager items, I created a function that can be included in the base Convert class, if you like.

This way the conversion process can be made more intuitive. FatCat categories can be converted *before* the category-using modules & each module can easily convert their own item categorizations. The function is attached as ("category_item_conversion_function.txt").
