Can't set category image for facebook album

Post by actlas »

On a normal category I can set a certain image to order nr. 1 and make it the image/icon that appears for that category.
When I do this for a specific category linked to a facebook album this doesn't work and a folder icon or another facebook image appears instead of the specific image I manually added to the category at position nr. 1.

How can I change the category image for facebook albums?

It's the same for Google+ / Picasa categories. Setting an image as icon for the category works until you import Facebook or Google Plus photo's.
When you do that a missing image icon appears instead:

<a class="" href="/index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=category&id=6:audi&Itemid=675&lang=nl"><img src="/." alt="" width="100" height="60.75" class="pg-cat-image"></a>

It looks like a bug.

Nobody else configures their albums like this?

Does anybody know how to change the category image for a Facebook or Google+ album?

Hi, which ordering did you set for the "display image instead of folder icon"?

Having the default settings, see no problem with displaying Google+, Picasa or Facebook image as category image :idea:

• Display Image Instead Of Folder Icon YES
• Category Image Ordering ORDERING ASCENDING

These are all the settings for phocagallery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w39yswqzkk6nm ... s.pdf?dl=0

All the photos from my album "cars" come from facebook or google, then I add an extra image file manually to that category and set its order to first and not published...

Hi, if you:

set it as published - does it work?
set it as unauthorized - does it work?
