Hello everone,
i got just a little dumb question about how to hide all the subcategories on the front page of my gallery.
Right now my categories and subcategories are shown like this:

What i want is to hide all these subcategories off the front page, leaving just the main category "2003-2004" shown

And then these subcategories appearing after clicking on it

Thanks

Hi,
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Phoca Gallery Control Panel --> Parameters / Options --> Categories View Settings -->
Display Subcategories=No
Display Empty Categories=Yes
Save your settings!
Kind regards,
Benno

Thank you for quick reply.
But this solve my problem partially. Subcategories are now hidden on my gallery front page, but I cant see them after opening main category neither. I need to hide subcategories on the front page, so I can see only main categories (that solves your advice above), but I also need to be able to see subcategories after opening main category... I dont know how to explain it better
Example
front page of my gallery should look like this:
Category1
Category2
Category3
and after opening one of them (Category2) it should look like:
Subcategory2-1
Subcategory2-2
Subcategory2-3
Maybe I'm just stupid, but I have no clue how to do it

Thanks

Subcategory2-3
Exactly this is what the settings I posted you, do in my test environment.

Doesnt work for me somehow
Settings as you told me:
Backend categories look like this:
Subcategories are loaded with pictures
Main categories show correctly, exactly as I want them to:
But when I open one of main categories, I just get blank space. Subcategories does not appear:
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Ok, I think I found it.
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Phoca Gallery Control Panel --> Options --> Display --> Category View Settings --> Display Subcategories On Each Page=All pages (or) First Page
Save&Close
Kind regards,
Benno
