Gallery wont work / probably miss-configured

[LupoNRW]

Hello,

I want to have the following structured categories and i try since some days to find the correct way without real success.
Maybe there is someone out there who is able to risk a look at the config and give the key hint to get it running.



You think this should be feasable, i know, it should Here the example how it should look's like
http://www.reisefotografien.eu/reisefotografien <- very easy

When i'll try this solution, only the sub categories which contains the images are visible.
When i'll change the config to see empty categories too, ALL the categories (main and sub) are shown on the start page where only the 1st level categories should be visible.

I think it's just an understanding issue.

You can find our website for the gallery here http://cms.antonius-teveren.de/index.php/bilder-galerie if you want.
Based on Joomla 3 and latest available Phoca Gallery release.

Thanks for any potential support.
BR, Lutz

Hi, for this you need to customize the categories view, directly in code:

components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/tmpl/default.php

or you can override it with template.

In fact you will display categories view where you display categories and subcategories but you need to change the view to "tree" and remove the parent category name from subcategory - see similar posts in this forum - there were some guides for this.

Hi Jan

The picture with the tree ist just to show you and other readers the category structure i have.
Lets have a look at the example link in my initial posting, reisefotografien website from benno.

Thats exactly what i want.

Startpage you see some categories. If you click on the categorie you will go deeper in this structure and see the next level categories and so on until finally the photos are there.

Hi Benno

thanks for the step by step description how the backend should be configured.
The configuration is done. The first page shows now the 1st level (main) categories.
In one of the 2nd level (sub) categories i've added now pictures.

By clicking on the start page to go one category deeper (2015) the page ended into 500 Interrnal Server Error.
Joomla error reporting is set on development. I can see no specific error, the website still shows the 500 internal server error.
Website is running at 1und1 and they only log access logs but no error logs

What could case the error ? All others are working properly.
The error will be generated only if i select one of the main categories which have attached sub categories.

Thanks
best regards, Lutz

Just ad additional information...

The exactly same configuration on test web space with Phoca Gallery 4.1.2 works as expected...

Hi,
then try to update Phoca Gallery on your testspace to v4.2.0 If it then works as expected, the problem is your 1&1 web space, I think.
Try to compare the php versions... I have read in several joomla! forums, that PHP versions greater than 5.5 can cause Problems.

Kind regards,
Benno

Update done and it still works on the test space with PHP 5.4.16.
On the "hot" space the PHP version is 5.5.26.
Just rolled back the PHP version on the "hot" space from 5.5.26 to 5.4.42 (nice that easy, only one single click!)
but what a f... same 500 Server Error. Now i'll try to roll back Phoca Gallery from 4.2 to 4.1 on the hot one just to test what's happening then.

Edit: and it works after downgrade. Strange thing.

Hi, 500 Server Error mostly means a php error - when you look into errorLog, which error do you get there? ( https://www.phoca.cz/documents/16-joomla ... rs-on-site )
