=head1 NAME

MT::Placement - Movable Type entry-category placement record

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use MT::Placement;
    my $place = MT::Placement->new;
    $place->entry_id($entry->id);
    $place->blog_id($entry->blog_id);
    $place->category_id($cat->id);
    $place->is_primary(1);
    $place->save
        or die $place->errstr;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

An I<MT::Placement> object represents a single entry-category assignment; in
other words, I<MT::Placement> objects describe the assignment of entries into
categories. Each entry is assigned to one primary category and any number of
secondary categories; an I<MT::Placement> object exists for each such
assignment. An entry's assignment to its primary category is marked as a
primary placement.

=head1 USAGE

As a subclass of I<MT::Object>, I<MT::Placement> inherits all of the
data-management and -storage methods from that class; thus you should look
at the I<MT::Object> documentation for details about creating a new object,
loading an existing object, saving an object, etc.

=head1 DATA ACCESS METHODS

The I<MT::Placement> object holds the following pieces of data. These fields
can be accessed and set using the standard data access methods described in the
I<MT::Object> documentation.

=over 4

=item * id

The numeric ID of the placement.

=item * entry_id

The numeric ID of the entry.

=item * category_id

The numeric ID of the category.

=item * is_primary

A boolean flag specifying whether the placement is a "primary" placement, and
hence whether it represents the entry's primary category.

=head1 DATA LOOKUP

In addition to numeric ID lookup, you can look up or sort records by any
combination of the following fields. See the I<load> documentation in
I<MT::Object> for more information.

=over 4

=item * entry_id

=item * category_id

=item * is_primary
