Frontend user upload multiple categories (not sub categorie)

[viltnieks]

Hello,

I would really like this functionality, for users to be able to create multiple categories. In my case I don't even need subcategories, I would just need option for users to create categories.

I did a search on forum and found this topic in several threads, but the newest I found was over a year old.

There was some talk about implementing this in future releases. The future is now , hopefully

But jokes aside, I would just like to find out is this planned in near releases ?

P.s I've donated to phoca, but I could do it again if it would bring this functionality faster. I think that maybe others would too, seeing how this was quite a popular topic.

I would hate to waste my time browsing JED looking for another image management system, since phoca is so great, if I could just have this option...


EDIT:
I just found out that phoca gallery can list subcategories in categories view, which Is nice. It's not ideal, since, when I open subcategory in categories view and press back button, parent category opens not categories view.
Another small problem is that gallery name is displayed like this - parent category name >> subcategory name, would be nice if I could display just subcategory name.

Hi, displying only subcategory name - this needs to be customized directly in the code (added to feature request list)

Parents category opening - yes, there is no other way for subcategories to go back as to look at the tree of categories and go back to next level category such works the tree feature

Multiple categories - still not implemented, there are really difficult dependencies on access right, etc. so not so easy

Thanks for the information.

I created default_catimg.php override.
I understand that this is the code which outputs "parent category >> category"

Code: Select all

echo '<td style="text-align:center;"><a href="'.$this->categories[$i]->link.'">'.$this->categories[$i]->title.'</a>&nbsp;';

Could you please tell me how to change it, so it displays only category name ?

Hi, the tree which is loaded by the recursive function - should be changed, you can find it in administration/components/com_phocagallery/libraries folder (I am not on my pc now so cannot give any exact advice where it is located exactly )
