How can I chose specific categories per link?

Post by amarcel »

Hello there,

Let`s consider this example: I have 3 different categories published in my gallery and I have two links in my webpage. When I clicked on the first link, I`d like to show the categories 1 and 2. And when I clicked on the second link, I`d like to show just categorie 3.

Is it possible?

Because:
If I use Phoca Gallery All categories, then it shows ALL categories published.
If I use Phoca Gallery Category, then it shows just ONE categorie and without gallery organization.

Waiting suggestions.

In the menulink (with view categories) you can specify the categories which you want to hide.

Jan and I were posting at the same time...

I started doubting myself ('cause he's a Hero 8) and I'm only a member :idea: ), checked out at my own website, and it is possible to hide categories. So I suggest you make 2 menu links and in the first you hide your 3rd category and in the second link you hide the categories 1 and 2.

It's a workaround, but should do, so I thought. (or isn't this what you want?)

Good luck,

Carolien

Great caro84g. I forgot that the parameter: hide categories is contained in component too, so this solution will work

BTW: I will reduce the 100 posts limit to 50 so you will be the first who gets the two stars... :-) congratulations ... next (3 stars = 100 posts) you will be the Phoca Professional...

Hey guys,

First of all, thank you caro84g and Jan by replies. :wink:

This suggestion makes sense, but it did not work here...

How should I type the name of categorie in the box "Hide Categories"?

Should I make an extra configuration to "Hide Categories" works? Like change any variable that it is setted as "use global" by default.

I feel we are close to solve this issue...

Still :?

Solved Solved Solved!!

It worked!

We must type the categoryid number and if we want to hide more than one categorie, we must separate them using ;.

Hey Jan, I advice to insert this mini configuration in the Tooltip of "Hide Categories".

Thank you one more time Carolien!!

:D

I have the same problem now. Has the option disappeared for "List of Categories"?
