Help Please - Menu Item Problem Also Pagination

Post by Ruthyruth »

Hello!
I'm running PhocaGallery 2.8.1 on Joomla 1.5.26

I want the menu item to lead to a page showing all of the images in a category with no pagination.

For the menu item I select "Phoca Gallery Category Layout" ("This layout shows a list of all the Phoca Gallery Images within a particular Category"). Under basic parameters of the menu item I select "Hide" for everything. Here is a screen shot:

On the front end when I click on the menu item it leads to a category icon rather than the images in the category. Here is a screen shot:

Image

But that is not what I want. I want the menu item link to show a page with the contents of the gallery without pagination. Pagination is another problem. In spite of selecting "Hide" for the menu item basic parameters, and also setting "Hide" in the backend global parameters, the pagination still shows up when the gallery images are displayed. Here is a screen shot:

Image

Also, I would like to have the images "centered" on the page, but I can not find any way to do that - only "Left" or "Right" in a drop down on the menu item parameters.

I have looked through the documentation, and I have searched the forums and have not been able to find anything that addresses my concerns. If anyone knows of past posts relating to these subjects, or/and can provide some advice as to how to solve my problems, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,
RR

Hi,
see: https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla!_CMS_versions
Since September 2012 Joomla! v1.5.26 is no longer supported by Joomla! Developer Team. This means it is unsafe. I personally not even use a test platform with Joomla! v.1.5.26 for safety reasons.
Therefore unfortunately, I can not answer your questions. I advise you urgently to migrate your system to Joomla! v3.5.1 and Phoca Gallery v4.2.2. The described problems are very easy to solve then.

Kind regards,
Benno

Hello Benno!
Thank you for your reply.

I have urged my client before about the Joomla situation. Because moving to the latest version of Joomla really involves a complete rebuild (rather than a migration), at this time my client is not prepared to make that investment. That part is out of my control, and I have to work with what I have.

It would be very kind if you would pretend that I'm basing my questions on having the latest version of Joomla and Phoca Gallery, and under those circumstances please elaborate on the "easy" solutions to my questions. I would be very grateful for your assistance.

Thank you in advance,
RR
