Phocha Menu Module: Bug fix + Enhancement

[Mike007]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a bug fix and a small enhancement to the phoca menu module in the hopes that it will make it into the next release and/or be helpful to some other people.

You can find the modified version of Phoca here: http://www.yagudaev.com/download/mod_ph ... dified.zip. (Note: please copy and paste the link to your browser in order for it to work, clicking the link won't work).

Bug: There is a navigation problem, where the user is directed to the wrong place in the joomla website but the right place in the Phoca component.
Steps to reproduce: Navigate to your website, click on "Gallery"(or whatever you call it) on the websites main navigation. Locate the Phoca Menu module and click on one of the displayed categories.
Result: User is presented with the correct category in phoca gallery, but is no longer located under the "Gallery" menu item in joomla.
Expected Result: User is presented with the right category in phoca gallery under the "Gallery" menu item.

Fix: Found a small difference between the link used in the component when opening a category and the module. Using the same approach in the module as in the component proved to solve this issue.

Enhancement: User wants to be able to select a parent category to display instead of displaying all categories at the root.
Development: Used phoca image module as a model and added a new drop down box to select parent category. Hooking up the all thing was easy since the code uses a recursive function that already expects a category id, all I had to do was provide that id up front.

Hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you have any questions.
