Link menu item to categories

Post by Morris-the-top »

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a plugin in Phoca Gallery that lets you connect to a menu item, only the categories that I decide.
Currently in phoca gallery I can connect my menu item in all the categories.
But I would like to connect and choose menu item only categories I want (More than one category at the same time with the same menu item).
Can be done? as?

let me know.

Best Regards

Hi,
check Filter Parent Category ID funktion in Options of the Phoca Gallery menu item List of Categories.
Perhaps this fits your needs..

Kind regards,

Hi Benno,
sorry but I did not understand exactly where I need to change and what should I change.
Could you be more specific?

Hi,
I thought, this field can do the trick:
backend --> Menus --> Your Menu with Link to phoca Gallery Component --> You Link to Phoca Gallery Component List Of Categories(Categories View) --> Menu Manager: Edit Menu Item --> Options --> Filter Parent Category ID
Set parent category ID or IDs to filter list of categories in Categories View. Only categories which belong to defined parent category will be displayed. Separate each parent category ID with comma (,)
Edit:
Sorry, I was too fast and didn't read the description of this filter carefully enough:
Only categories which belong to defined parent category will be displayed.
This is unfortunately not a filter for Parent Categories. With this filter Subcategories of choosen Parent Categories will be displayed and that is not what you want, I fear... :(
So, sorry I have no idea how to realize your requirement.

Kind regards,
Benno
