Bug: Phoca Gallery - "filter" in categories is not useful
Posted: 26 Nov 2009, 07:42
I'm using version 2.5.8. I have a large directory structure containing all the images I am managing. The folder form a tree of categories. And the images are in the leaf directories. I have a number of issues. Here is one:
I've got 100's of categories organized in a tree structure. The "filter" feature in the Categories area isn't very helpful for 2 reasons:
1) If doesn't find sub categories. Example, suppose I have a parent category called "Slide Shows" and a sub-category called "2008". Entering "2008" in the filter will return an empty list. This seems like a bug, not a feature suggestion.
2) The Filter feature should have an option to return the matching category(ies) and all sub-categories. Because I have a large tree structure of categories, sometimes I want to look at a sub section of those categories. But I can't. Searching for the top category in my desired sub-tree will only return that top category and not its child categories. (of course issue 1 above effectively prevents me from search for any sub-categories)
