Issue MDL-32570: Deleting "Miscellaneous" category broke the ability to use IMS Enterprise to create courses
We deleted the "miscellaneous" category in Moodle 2.1 and ran our IMS Enterprise script. No courses were created. The incident sounds similar to http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-21470 and this posting http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=200639 If we remove the one section in the script that is really a term, but has the same tag as a course with no category specified, then all of the other courses are created just fine. When we created the "miscellaneous" category again then the script runs without a problem. An empty course with the name "Spring 2012" (which is the name of our category) is created in the "Miscellaneous" category. The real courses are then created in the "Spring 2012" category. I don't know if it matters but we are on PHP Version 5.3.5
