Hi pepperstreet,

You are right. The MVC template override works!

But, may you advise me how to determine the path of override in the template.

As you have indicated the difference in the path...

Any links to reference to that? I'm a bit confused about the logic ...

Thanks.

Hi tmrsk,

Will give you links a bit later...as I'm still working on another part of the site. Once finished, I will post it here..

Thanks.

KingoftheRoad, Seth

Hello KingoftheRoad

can you tell me please how did you get this layout from attached image for "Directory" menu? Which are your settings? I'm asking you because no matter what i tried, i can display only one column (i want to display 3 columns for categories)

I don´t know the exact reason ;-)

but the logic is as follows...
see parameters and output in attachments.

As you can see, you can spread the amount of included subcategories over all available columns. Whats the initial purpose: I don´t know ;-)

maybe for a manual justification of different length...

Hurray!

the settings from menu was the problem, i used default option for all three columns: # blocks for col nr1 = 200

Thank you very much!

I want to change the directory layout (com_flexicontent/views/flexicontent/tmpl/default_categories.php) to display the subitems of each subcategory, instead of subsubcategories

Original:

Code:

<ul class="catdets cat<?php echo $sub->id; ?>">
		<?php
		foreach ($sub->subcats as $subcat) :?>
			<li>
				[url=<?php echo JRoute::_( FlexicontentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($subcat->slug) ); ?>]<?php echo $this->escape($subcat->title); ?>[/url]
				<?php if ($this->params->get('showassignated')) : ?>
				<span class="small"><?php echo $subcat->assignedsubitems != null ? '('.$subcat->assignedsubitems.'/'.$subcat->assignedcats.')' : '(0/'.$subcat->assignedcats.')'; ?></span>
				<?php endif; ?>
			</li>
		<?php 
		endforeach; ?>
	</ul>

My modification:

Code:

<ul class="catdets cat<?php echo $sub->id; ?>">
		<?php
		foreach ($sub->items as $item) :?>
			<li>
				[url=<?php echo JRoute::_( FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->slug, $sub->slug) ); ?>]<?php echo $this->escape($item->title); ?>[/url]
				
			</li>
		<?php 
		endforeach; ?>
	</ul>

But, No output.
