Slideshow - Parent Category

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|...}
