Pictureframe is shown in an Empty Category

[ixman2000]

Hi,
I've updated my gallery from 2.6.2 to 2.7.0.
I've some caterories with more categories in it but no picures. In the older version there was
shown a text "this caterory has no images" now it is shown the Pictureframe.
Here a link to my page: http://www.funnytakes.de/fotoalbum/foto ... ngeln.html

I also found in the view-html default .php the entry in row 482-484
} else {
// Will be not displayed
//echo JText::_('There is no image in this category');

This Frame looks not good - Is the a solution in the further update comming or can
I change something in the code?

Another Idea: Is it possible to hide empty stats?

Do you want to hide empty categories? Or just hide the message?

Hi,

I want to hide the empty pictureframe and show the the message.
I've try to delete "//" in the two rows but it dosn't work.

I tested an empty category on my own site and there was no problem displaying "There is no image in this category." Perhaps something went wrong with the installation?

Update: I added subcategories and now I see what you mean, I got the same issue. Let me work it out and I'll let you know.

Apparently you can have an empty category only and it will display the "There is no image in this category." message, but if you have an empty parent category filled with subcategories it displays an empty picture box in the parent category rather than the message... annoying.

Hmm, you can try this fix:

Hi,
I've replaced the codes like you write the result is.
1. After I replaced "if (!empty($this->items)) {" the pictureframe wasn't shown in
the caterory. Now if I change in one othe the subcategory no image was shown.

2. I've also tryed the idea of the pagination. It works on the category-page.
Here is the same problem after I went into the subcategory with the pictures.
The pagination isn't displayed if there is some needed.

I hope there is another solution?

It should work. I'm not at home right now so I can't verify but do you have sub categories in sub categories?

[ixman2000]

Hi,

Info to my strukture

Level 1 - 5 Categories with no pictures in it only Subcaterorys

Level 2 - Catergories with the pictures in it

[GenkaiNashi]

Okay, and you said you replaced that code

Code: Select all

if (!empty($this->items)) {

twice (or maybe in two files?)? Or just once in views/category/tmpl/default.php?

Now if I change in one othe the subcategory no image was shown.

<-- That makes it seem like you changed the line somewhere else too.

It does work for some reason for me. I just set up my gallery like:

Empty Category --> 1 Empty Category & 1 Category with Pictures

Both Empty category's don't show pictures and only the category with pictures in the empty subcategory shows pictures.

Can I have your email address to send you my default.php file so you can test that? I'll also include a link to my gallery. You can Private Messsage (PM) me your email if you don't want to post it here.

Also I just tried your structure too -->

1 Empty category --> Multiple Subcategories with Pictures

The picture frame isn't displayed on the Empty Category page and pagination works on the subcategories.
