Hello everybody,

This a thread to post any bug or question about the modification of the categories module.

Description:
"This is a modification of the categories module. It makes possible create a complete tree of categories and subcategories. Now the categories can use an image like thumbnail.
It mantains the original functions, so all the actual modules that use it, like calendar module works with this modification.
The modification is necessary for the catalague module. But can be used for a lot of modules that need a classification by categories.
This module works over Exponent 0.96.6."

You can download here.

I downloaded from my page. Your work is great.

The only lack I see is the capability of mantaining the hierarchy in the drop-down category selection. I think that some workaround for this should exist. Anyway, great job and nice support.

If I understand well, you want a drop list to change the order of the categories, like the order of the products in the catalogue module.

I note it, it's not difficult.

Thaks for your advise,

...It's not exactly what you noted. I try to explain better: If I make a top-level category "Mother" with a subcategory "Child", then when I apply the category (for example to an article) I don't see graphically any level difference between the mother and the child. The categories are ordered as they were all at the same level. I want to use subcategories in a institutional university site I'm working on, but I fear that the employes could make make mistakes if they don't see clearly the hierarchy when they choose the category posting the content. They have clearly to see that Child is a subcategory of Mother.

Naturally the problem is visible only if you think at a set-up like mine, where administrators (the ones who defines the categories) and editors (the ones who put the contents in the modules) are two separated groups.

Post Scriptum: your exponent development for the University of navarra is great. keep up the good work!

Cheers.

Federico

The categories module has to be added to other modules. Download the catalgue module, you will a Breadcrumb in each product, that show the relation between the mother and the child.

This breadcrumb depends of the catalogue modulo, not the categories module. You have to add this function to your news module. I decided to put a Breadcrumb but you can use any other design.

The function leveltemplate, line 162 of datatypes/category.php, orden the categories. The catalogue module call this function (lines 53 and 108 view_category.php, lines 92 and 108 class.php of catalogue module) and send it yo smarty.
In the case of the product. It only get his parents to create the breadcrumb (lines 47-54 and 84 view_product.php) and send it to the smarty.

In the tpl you can do anything.

You can see it in action in one of my clientes, the design is very bad (we aren't the designers), but the catalogue works fine. Click here.

I downloaded the catalogue module from the contributions page but could not untar/unzip the file, and it failed in exponent's module upload.  Can you please make it available like the categories module?  I was able to download it from your site and install it with no problems.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

It turns out that I had been able to get the files from the exponent site too.  I had to right click on the link, save as a zip file, then extract the archive inside it to another file, give it a zip extension (it showed up with no extension), and unzip again.

Testing your module now.  Thanks again.
