Menu Item to All Categories?
Posted: 02 Jan 2012, 18:22
Hi All,
I'm having problems with Phoca. Maybe I'm setting things up wrong, I'm a new Phoca user (although experienced with Joomla), and keep running into things I feel are designed to frustrate me. Since Phoca's been around a while, I'm guessing this is a learning curve or something.
*sigh*
I just want to create a menu item that displays all my categories in one location. I was under the impression Phoca was capable of producing a page with thumbnail covers to ALL the categories in the system. I have never selected one album over the other, yet no matter what I do, Phoca's link in my menu to "Phoca Gallery >> List Of Categories (Categories View)" will only, and forever, display a page that links to one - and only the one - of my categories.
I currently have two (2) categories. Both are published and authorized, both contain multiple photographs, also published and authorized. I can create a specific page with a slideshow plugin to either category, and view the images this way without issue.
But the menu item! Why won't it show all the categories?
**aside** What's the deal with this one category per owner thing? Gods forbid, if my client wants 42 photo albums, does that mean I need to create 42 users to own all these bloody categories?? Even if I nest them, I'm still going to need multiple categories to organize the photos! **/aside**
I am using Phoca Gallery 3.1.1, running on Joomla 1.7.3.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
