Publish category containing only subcategories, no image

[Kasparek]

Is it possible? I need to publish Category containing only subcategories, but no image directly. This is intended for a primary school, first level categories are named according to a school year (2013-2014, 2014-2015, 2015-2016) and they contain only subcategories names according to a school events. How I can manage it? I only succeeded to publish from front end only categories containing images.

Hi, not sure if I understand correctly, as default such categories are published - you cannot see there image as there is no image but you can see subcategories there and if you click them, you can navigate into the subcategory

My problem was caused by empty subcategories (I created them just for a test) and by parameter 'Display Empty Categories'. After adding some images to a subcategory, the problem was sorted out.

But one more question regarding main categories (school years) and subcategories (events falling into a specific school year). I would like to use Mosaic Effect for both categories and subcategories, but it seems that Phoca Gallery treats subcategories (i.e. categories that have a parent category) as images when they are displayed in the front end. At least I am not able to display them using Mosaic Effect, even that main categories are displayed correctly using this effect. Can I change this behaviour so that both categories and subcategories are displayed using Mosaic Effect?

To understand my questions better, you can look at http://joomla.horackova.cz/galerie.

Hi, for now there is no such option, so this needs to be customized.
