[wp-hackers] Get cat parameter from admin-ajax

[Muro, Matthew]

Just following up to see if anyone has a solution to this.  The plugin can be found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/restrict-categories/

Thanks,

All works fine in WordPress 3.0.1, but as I started testing 3.1 I noticed that the category filter, which is AJAX, allows you to bypass the restrictions.  I'm able to filter this out in 3.0.1 because it's submitted via URL parameters.  My trouble is being able to $_GET the 'cat' parameter from the new AJAX request.
