How To Enable Category Ancestors Routing?

For example: You have your article in category B which is a descendant of the root category A. You created a K2 Categories menu item which uses A as the category. If you viewed your Article by clicking a link from the website you wouldn’t retrieve a Menu Item. Because it doesn’t allow for category ancestors routing. That means in this case, even though your Article is in a category which is a descendant of A, you still wouldn’t get a Menu Item for that, you must have created a specific menu item that uses B.

The fix
The fix is to add support for category ancestors routing. In technical words I have modified two core files of K2 in order to achieve this kind of routing behaviour, so you should be careful about it if you use this fix.
