Phoca Forum

Hello, I am currently running phoca download component version 2.1.9 on a Joomla 2.5 site.
I have a number of categories with sub categories and the file count is zero after the category even though there are a number of files in the subcategories.
So for instance it displays Europe (0) even though I would have a number of files in the subcategories (e.g. France (3) Italy (4) etc.).
This is clearly misleading as viewers will see Europe (0) and assume there is nothing in that folder.
I have seen reference to similar posts on this board and you mention searching for a solution but I have searched through the boards and really can't find anything (e.g. changing a line of code in the php to display file count for files in folders and sub folders combined?). Any ideas?

Hi, the number displays the count of files in that category, not in subcategories. As written in similar posts - there can be two ways to display the number:

- exclude subcategories files (this is for most of users right as you display the real number of the files in category)
- include subcategories files (for some users it is better to display it with this way - e.g. when they user empty main category)

So for the second case, the code needs to be customized - to add some recursive function which will search all the files in all the tree of subcategories

Hi Jan, thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not even remotely an expert in php so this would be beyond my abilities. I was rather hoping someone else had customised the code in a similar way and would be able to point me in the right direction... back to the drawing board!

Hi, unfortunately, I didn't do such change yet, so cannot give any clue and exact guide
