Categories Folder Icon

Post by Yue_Hong »

Hi,

I have set my Photo Gallery to display photos using "Phoca Gallery Category List Layout". How can I have the icon of the gallery to display the image from the gallery instate of the folder icon? I have set the "Display random image as folder icon" as yes, but it doesn't seems help at all. What should I do now? Thanks.

Hi,

it only shows thumbs from the images inside that category (not from subcategories as far as I know).

Are you sure you turned them on in the right setting. The same setting is there under 3 headings:
- category view (thumbnails)
- category view (categories)
- categories view

To be sure: just turn them all on.

Regards, Carolien

same problem here: on the categories view (phoca top level page) I only display categories with no subcategories. these categories only contain subcategories, no images.
up until the upgrade to 2.5.0 images instead of folder icons were displayed for these top-level categories. but not anymore. and I can't find an option to set this (not in global config and also not in the menu parameters), there is only an option for category-display (the small list of subcategories on top)

I am sure the the images were displayed before (verified it with googles cached view of that particular site). that means that if a category doesn't have images pg took them from a subcategory, which it apparently doesn't do after the upgrade.

maybe a bug? or done on purpose?

regards,

I have the same problem. After upgrading to version 2.5.0 there is no chance to set an image from subcategories as folder icon in a main category. Are there some ideas to fix it quick and dirty :)
