Slideshow - Parent Category

[morpheus]

Hi,

Is there a way to slideshow on the parent category - i.e. all sub categories within a parent category ?

Given that you can only specify one unique cateory and when I specify a parent one I just get blank content, there seems to be no internal mechanism to know that it has sub categories to use, which is a shame. Is there anyway to get round this ?

Hi, only specifed category can be displayed, but you can customize it in the code, so the script will take images from other categories. SQL query needs to be changed

i did the modification, want to post it here just in case somebody else need it...
in phocagalleryslideshow.php, starting from line 72:

Code: Select all

			$id = explode(',', $id);
			if (count($id)) {
			
				$c = time() * rand(0,10);							
				$query     = ' SELECT a.filename'
						   . ' FROM #__phocagallery_categories AS cc'
						   . ' LEFT JOIN #__phocagallery AS a ON a.catid = cc.id'
						   . ' WHERE cc.published = 1 AND a.published = 1 AND ';
						   $match_id = array();
						   foreach ($id as $target) {
						   		if ((int)$target > 0)
									$match_id[] = 'a.catid = '.(int)$target;
						   }
							$query .= '('.implode(' OR ', $match_id).')';

and for the parameter, just use comma to separate the ids
e.g. {pgslideshow id=1,2,3|...}
