Back list of categories v 6.0.1

Post by gilougilbert »

Hi,
Following yesterday's configuration, there's just one small problem.
I therefore have only one list of categories on the members' galleries.

The empty galleries are not displayed initially but appear if we use the back button.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,
you mean in categories view?
If yes:
But: Display Categories Views Back Button: No
Backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Category View --> Display Categories Views Back Button=No

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi,
I have now created a test page based on what I understood from your request. Two strictly separate categories with subcategories. Don't mind the images or category titles, they are just examples/placeholders.
If this is what you want, I can also post the settings for it:

Hi,
My two categories, "competitions" and "exhibitions," are working well using your advice.
But the problem lies with the view of members' galleries using 'categories view' located in the same menu.

Some members have empty galleries.

It's fine on initial display, but on return, the empty galleries reappear, and I can't fix the problem.

My previous post provides an example.

See again my example, now with category and menu item 'Members':
http://www.j3.x.reisefotografien.eu/members
In this example, the category ‘Member 1’ contains an ‘Empty Category’, which is always visible. If this were not the case, it would surely be forgotten. If this category bothers you, you can hide/unpublish it in the backend under Categories:

But the problem lies with the view of members' galleries using 'categories view' located in the same menu.
And again: You shouldn't use two menu items 'List of Categories' because of possible URL troubles.. :(

Kind regards,
