Creating Categories

Post by rakdrak »

If you are creating Categories, Why there is no created folders on disk? At least option to do that will be fine

Hi,

because categories are no copy of what's on the disk. You can add an image more than once (to different categories). Phoca creates only one set of thumbs, so it saves disk space.

If you create a folder on your disk and in multiple add you tick the folder, instead of the images, then Phoca creates a category from this folder. If you add pictures to the folder later and then tick the folder again, Phoca adds only the new images to the category.

Hi, in frontend you are able to do only one category, so if it is created then it can be edited only (this is for users, so if user will create category for him, then he has one category)

"create menulinks to it on the front end"
You cannot create menu links in frontend in Joomla! :(
