List of Files (Category View) Warning

[cmb]

In the website menu manager I edit the Phoca Download menu item to select List of Files (Category View) for the Menu Item Type. When I open that page in the website's Frontend, I receive this warning:

Warning: Undefined array key 0 in /components/com_phocadownload/views/category/view.html.php on line 412

In addition to the warning message, I see only the H1 heading title. No categories nor files are shown.
When I use a Menu Item Type of List Of Categories (Categories View), the page displays as expected.

Joomla version 4.3.4
PHP version 8.1.12

Hi, when you change the template (like described here: viewtopic.php?p=175949#p175949 ) for test only, do you still get the problem?

BTW, is a category selected in menu link to category view?

[cmb]

BTW, is a category selected in menu link to category view?

AHA! That's the item I skipped. If I select a category, all is well.
Select Category is a required field but the value="" option is accepted as sufficient.

Hi, thank you for the info, I will take a look at it for the next version.

That would be a courtesy to the user. Unfortunately, I cannot see a way to set the select element so that all except one of the options satisfies the required test. You'll probably have to use some other selection technique.

[Jan]

Hi, mostly, removing the first option "Select ..." is the way, so there are only options which are valid.
