great write it !

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hello. I think to write how I solved my problem.

I went to flexicontent 3.

And so. Open the file in a folder mod_flexicontent.xml Univeral module.

Found there:

Code:

<field name="treeinclude" type="list" default="0" label="FLEXI_INCLUDE_EXTRACATS" description="FLEXI_INCLUDE_EXTRACATS_DESC" class="method_cat_ops" >
				<option value="0">FLEXI_NONE</option>
				<option value="1">FLEXI_CHILDREN</option>
				<option value="2">FLEXI_PARENTS</option>
				<option value="3">FLEXI_CHILDREN_PARENTS</option>
				<option value="4">FLEXI_OTHER_CATS_OF_ITEM</option>
			</field>

and added:

Code:

<option value="5">FLEXI_ALL_CHILDREN</option>

Then opened the file: flexicontent.categories.php in folder: components/com_flexicontent/classes/

found:

Code:

switch ($treeinclude) {
				// current category only
				case 0: default: 
					$cats = array($cid);
				break;
				case 1: // current category + children
					$cats = $globalcats[$cid]->descendantsarray;
				break;
				case 2: // current category + parents
					$cats = $globalcats[$cid]->ancestorsarray;
				break;
				case 3: // current category + children + parents
					$cats = array_unique(array_merge($globalcats[$cid]->descendantsarray, $globalcats[$cid]->ancestorsarray));						
				break;
				case 4: // all item's categories
					$cats = $curritemcats;
				break;
			}
			$all_cats = array_merge($all_cats, $cats);

added here:

Code:

case 5: // all children category
					$all_cats = array();
					$child_cat = array_unique(array_merge($globalcats[$cid]->descendantsarray, $globalcats[$cid]->ancestorsarray));
					
					if(($key = array_search($cid,$child_cat)) !== FALSE){
						 unset($child_cat[$key]);					
					}
					$cats = $child_cat; 
				break;

It turned out what is described in the first post

Hello

maybe i misunderstood your original post,

but what you have suggested is different from what you asked in your 1st post

- so you want the childrens of a category but no the category itself , right ?

if so, then this was not clear in your original thread, but also i see the usefulness of having this,
