Menu Link to several (selected) Categories ?

Post by Dirk67 »

https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-galle ... -menu-link

You can create menu link to list one particular category,
and you can create menu link to list all categories.

how is it possible to create a menu link to list several selected categories ?

any trick / hack to do so ?

Hi, you can create menu link to all categories and set which categories will be hidden (see parameters):

OK it works,
I created some "special" menu links with hidden categories as described above,
but
if I (or a user) add(s) several categories later on
-> will they appear (unwanted) in all my "special" menu links (since they are not in the hidden list) ?
-> and will I have to go to all my "special" menu links again and declare all the new categories as hidden (by hand) ?

my suggestion is to do it the opposit way around not to hide categories but to enable categories,
(just by multiple drop-down list),
so there will be no conflicts possible with categories that are added later on -> you can leave the menu link as it is then...

Thanks,

in the meantime i helped myself
by pasting "all" categories* into the "hidden" field and wipe out the "wanted" categories :D

*)

Code: Select all

0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17;18;19;20;21;22;23;24;25;26;27;28;29;30;31;32;33;34;35;36;37;38;39;40;41;42;43;44;45;46;47;48;49;50;51;52;53;54;55;56;57;58;59;60;61;62;63;64;65;66;67;68;69;70;71;72;73;74;75;76;77;78;79;80;81;82;83;84;85;86;87;88;89;90;91;92;93;94;95;96;97;98;99;100;101;102;103;104;105;106;107;108;109;110;111;112;113;114;115;116;117;118;119;120;121;122;123;124;125;126;127;128;129;130;131;132;133;134;135;136;137;138;139;140;141;142;143;144;145;146;147;148;149;150;151;152;153;154;155;156;157;158;159;160;161;162;163;164;165;166;167;168;169;170;171;172;173;174;175;176;177;178;179;180;181;182;183;184;185;186;187;188;189;190;191;192;193;194;195;196;197;198;199;200;
if I add categories later, it will not be a matter until the category-ID go not beyond 200...
