Not all categories showing up in cat. list view

Hi,

first of all - thanks for this great piece of software. I recently upgraded from 1.6.x to 2.1.0 RC.
Now it's much more - say "ergonomic" - to use (i.e. thumbnail creation, params handling etc.).

But I do have the problem that in the "category list view", only 8 out of 12 categories are shown.
I am using the "small icon with shadow" setting next to the categories list; reviewing the source code in the browser shows that phoca somehow stops after showing 8 entries. Is there a way to overcome this? Didn't find any param for that...

--> Edit: works when using FireFox. Probably caching problem of IE.

Also, the category setting "show subcategories=no" does not work for me. It either shows all sub's or nothing...
Problem still existing.

Furthermore setting the "columns" value does not have any effect (no matter if I enter 1, 2 or 3). Any idea?
Problem still existing.

Finally, setting/changing the order of categories in the backend does not have any effect on how the categories are sorted in the "cat. list view". Bug or feature?
--> Edit: works when using FireFox. Probably caching problem of IE.

Any help is highly appreciated, thanks & happy new year.

Hi, if you set e.g. 2 or 3 columns, is there a place for this column on your site ?

subcategories - can I see your site ?

Hi,

oh yes - Space - could be the problem. In the categories list view, is there a way to NOT display the categories OR add a <br> between the image thumbnail and the actual category / subcat name?

Regarding access to my site, can I PM/IM/email you? Please provide the address.

Thx
Davy

Hi, then it need to be customized in the code:

components\com_phocagallery\views\categories\tmpl\default.php
(this is the php/html template for displaying the categories in frontend)
