Phoca Forum

Installed Gallery recently and find it very easy to work with. I am having a problem, though. I see in the user manual that I have a lot of control over settings in Parameters. I can't find them! In the user manual, I see this:

"You can configure Phoca Gallery to your own wishes. In the configuration of Phoca Gallery you can set a lot of things. This document will explain each setting. You can change the setting here:

Components » Phoca Gallery » Control Panel » [Parameters] button."

When I open the control panel, this what I see:



What am I missing? Where is the access to Parameters? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
yes, there is missing something.

Try to install Phoca Gallery once more,
and read this thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7573
Kind regards,

Thanks, Benno!

I read the post you listed. I saw reference to a few of the posters saying they were superadministrators. Is this necessary to be able to see the Parameters button?

Hi,

Is this necessary to be able to see the Parameters button?

Yes, I think so.
But you can try to do the Parameters settings in a second way.
backend --> Menus --> Your Menu with link to Phoca Gallery Component --> Your link to Phoca Gallery Component --> Menu Item: [ Edit ] --> Parameters (Component) -->
These are the same options like in Parameters.
Kind regards,

Benno,

You are very wise! The back-door approach worked just fine. From the documentation, I gather though that any changes made to the Parameters here will apply only to this particular Menu item, and will not be Global???

That`s right. But if you choose Phoca Gallery Category List Layout as Menu item you don`t need other menu items to Phoca Gallery Component and then these parameters are Global...

Thanks for the help. Still getting used to the Joomla hierarchy

You`re welcome!
Kind regards,

I see green text asking people to post SOLVED if the problem was indeed solved. How do you do that? I don't see a button or anything.

Hi,
I forgot to mark this thread as solved. Sorry!
Kind regards,
