Category Display Question

Post by crood »

I am using Phoca Gallery for a fire company webiste and I want to display my categories in a list so that the subcategories name fully shows. I have been looking at the documentation to get this to work, but have had no luck. Here is how I have my gallery setup for example:

> Incidents
>> 2008 Incidents
>>> Fire on Phoca Rd.

When I click on incidents I want to see the subcategory of that in a list form I want to see like this:
[image] 2008 Incidents
[image] 2007 Incidents

Then if I click on 2008 incidents I want to display like this:
[image] Fire on Phoca Rd.
[image] Fire on Joomla Ave.
[image] Technical Rescue Assignment at Apple Inc.

How can I accomplish this? Do I do it with the template or global parameters? I am using the default template that comes with phoca gallery and would just like to figure out how to do this without looking at the documentation again for phoca gallery.

Thanks for your help in advance and by the way great component. It has come in great so far.

Hi,

You do this with the global parameters (or with the menu item parameters).

Create a menu item of the type 'phoca gallery category list layout'.
Set the parameters as following:
- Display empty categories to yes
- Display subcategories to no
- Display Categories in Category View (Thumbnails) to NO (as well as everything in this section)
- Display Categories in Category View (Categories) to YES (use this section to determing all other parameters).
For more information see: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... Categories_
