Possibility to filter categories in 'Categories view?

Post by Loupo77 »

Hi,
I'm new with phocagallery and wonder if it is possible to display only some categories but not all when linking a menu item to "Categories view? I don't find the way to do this.
Because I have two different menu links where I want to display different categories.
Thanks for your help.
Regards

Hi,
Nobody has any idea if this is possible or not ? :) What I want is quite simple: I want to show some categories (with Categories View) on one menu link and other categories on another menu link.
I don't find the way to do this. If I choose "Phoca Gallery Categories View" as menu item type, it shows ALL categories. Isn't there any possibility to filter the categories shown ??
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,

I'm not sure, if I understood it correctly. Maybe this is an option?:

Thanks for the reply Christine, but I didn't understood how this feature (tree module) could help me. Could you eventually explain a little bit more what is your idea?

Yes, this is possible, but I fear only once, because it's a global setting. (That means, in my opinion it's not possible to configure a second menu item with other hidden categories...) :idea:
See:

For Joomla v2.5 there was a guide to put parameter(s) of Phoca Gallery Options to the menu item options, but I'm not sure that this also works with Joomla v3.x

Try it yourself and please report, thank you.

Kind regrds,
