Phoca Forum

Hi everyone,
I have this structure :

Category "a"
- subcategory "a1"
- subcategory "a2"
- subcategory "a3"

Category "b"
- subcategory "b1"
- subcategory "b2"
- subcategory "b3"

I would like to see my gallery just clicking on subcategory title without pass through the subcategories thumbnails !
Is it possible ??
Many thanks!

Hi,
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Phoca Gallery Control Panel --> Parameters --> Categories View Settings (List of Categories) -->
Display Categories Style=Categories without images
Display Subcategories=Yes
Display Empty Categories=No
Save your settings!
Kind regards,
Benno

Hi Benno!
many thanks for your reply!
I've tried your setting but it's always the same ! I cannot understand, i've even tried the others settings (Categories, images, details...etc...) but nothing happens !
I've deleted the menu and I did it again...but it is always the same.
It seems that it doesn't take this setting!
Any suggestion ?
Many thanks again for your help!
Kind regards !

Hi,
there are two different places to do this settings:
1.) backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Phoca Gallery Control Panel --> Parameters --> Categories View Settings (List of Categories) -->
Display Categories Style=Categories without images
Display Subcategories=Yes
Display Empty Categories=No
Save your settings!
2.) backend --> Menus --> Your Menu with Link to Phoca Gallery Component --> Your Link to Phoca Gallery Component --> Menu Item: [ Edit ] --> Parameters (Component) --> Categories View Settings (List of Categories) -->
Display Categories Style=(Use Global or) Categories without images
Display Subcategories=(Use Global or) Yes
Display Empty Categories=(Use Global or) No
Save your settings!
Important!! The settings in 2. are able to overwrite the settings in 1.
So try out to do the settings in 2.
Kind regards,
Benno

Hi,
check with help of eg. phpMyAdmin if all tables are created during installation process.
If you use the current version of Phoca Gallery you should see the following tables:
jos_phocagallery
jos_phocagallery_categories
jos_phocagallery_comments
jos_phocagallery_img_comments
jos_phocagallery_img_votes
jos_phocagallery_img_votes_statistics
jos_phocagallery_user
jos_phocagallery_user_category_tmp
jos_phocagallery_votes
jos_phocagallery_votes_statistics
if not, https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... em-solving Database

The settings of backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Phoca Gallery Control Panel --> Parameters -->
are stored in the table jos_components --> Phoca Gallery

The settings of backend --> Menus --> Your Menu with Link to Phoca Gallery Component --> Your Link to Phoca Gallery Component --> Menu Item: [ Edit ] --> Parameters (Component)
are stored in the table jos_menu

Check if this entries are created, but don`t change anything without a complete Database backup!!!
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Benno

Hi,
your help is great, I've checked everything you wrote me and everything is ok.
I've tried to change the setting monitoring the DB and the paramter changes correctly from 0 to 1 and viceversa.
but the result on line is always the same.
I know that you are thinking...IMPOSSIBLE....me too!!
I did the images folder structure following the same category schema :

Category "a"
- subcategory "a1"
- subcategory "a2"
- subcategory "a3"

Category "b"
- subcategory "b1"
- subcategory "b2"
- subcategory "b3"

Do you think that this could be the problem ?
when i click on the subcategories i'm still going to the thumbnails and not to the "pop up gallery"

Many thanks and kind regards.
bye

Hi,

Category "a"
- subcategory "a1"
- subcategory "a2"
- subcategory "a3"

Category "b"
- subcategory "b1"
- subcategory "b2"
- subcategory "b3"

Do you think that this could be the problem ?

No, this is a quite normal category structure and has nothing to do with the fact, that you can not save your settings.
Unfortunately, I running out of ideas to this issue.
Sorry for this.
Kind regards,
Benno
