Subcategories

[draexo]

Hello
I am new. I have been trying to figure this out and read the instructions but can not find an answer.

I have installed the Phoca Download Component in Joomla 1.7.

Users think there are no files available because the Top Category shows 0, but if they click on it (why would they since there are no files there) all the subcategories show the true file count. Can I get an accurate top file count or disable the file count on the top category so users think to click on the link?

Categories
TOYOTA (0) - top category I would like it to display 15 files or none.
-Camery (6)
-Highlander (2)
-Prius (7)

The count is "accurate" in the fact that you have no files in this category itself.
Enable this option: "Display Number of Files (Categories View - Header)".
Hopefully it would fulfill your needs.

Thanks for your reply! It has helped me out somewhat!

Actually, I had to disable both this and the second categories view and now there is no file count in the categories.
The problem I have now is sub-sub categories are still displaying "accurate" file counts.
eg.
Categories
TOYOTA
-Camery
-Highlander
-Prius
-4 door (0)
- GDI (3)
-non-GDI (3)
- 2 door (0)
-GDI (2)
-non-GDI (4)

I would be happy to remove the file count completely if I could.

If you are not afraid of changing a php file you could do the following:
1. create these folders in your current template folder (e.g.: JOOMLAROOT/templates/beez5/) :
html/com_phocadownload/catergory
2. then unzip the com_phocadownload.zip on your local device
3. locate the site folder and navigate to views/category/tmpl
4. edit the default.php file and change the following line (109)

Code: Select all

echo ' <small>('.$valueSubCat->numdoc.')</small></div>' . "\n";

to

Code: Select all

echo ' </div>' . "\n";

5. upload it to JOOMLAROOT/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/com_phocadownload/catergory/default.php

This way you would not loose your changes when updating Phoca Download but you maybe have to update them separately too.

I understand everything except this last part.
Do you mean that when a new version of Phocadownload is released, I may need to repeat this process, but that I should be fine to add files to Phocadownload.

If you install an new version of Phoca Download it will update all needed files (which are for example located in components/com_phocadownload). Files located in templates/TEMPLATE/html/com_phocadownload will not be updated. These files are a nice option to "override" the default ones of every component/module/etc. But it could be possible that the new version have some great new features and you can't use them with your "override" so you have to modify/update them too. Hopefully this makes it a little bit clearer.

Yes, I will try this solution. Thanks!
