tpl_4007 problem

Very small problem but it's driving me crazy. Looks fine in IE but in Firefox it looks like this:



How can I fix this small problem?


Also, one more question. Is it normal that when I click on the link of a parent category that the page it opens up doesnt show all the sub categories? Can it be done?

One more question..the default for spaces in the SE friendly name and for categories is an underscore..is it possible to change it to a hypen -?

Hmmm, not sure what might be the problem

Can you share your website URL?

One more uppage on this before I give up on it.

They will show up if there's a story in the parent category, but wont if there isn't. However, I don't use the parent categories to put stories in, only the sub-categories.

I reported that as a bug, but apparently they don't think it's a bug and told me to post a request as a "customization" in the proper forum.

But, I've also been told that it will be corrected in a future release.

Either way, I haven't found out how to do it either.

One would think that if you clicked on the parent category that stories from the sub-categories WOULD show up in it. That's how 99.9% of the other CMS's and article managers (as well as forums and just about anything else that deals with sub-categories) works...

Ok, a quick solution for this.

Open your default.tpl for category view and find this block of code:

<vte:if test="{article_list}">
  <vte:foreach item = "article" from = "{article_list}" start="1" loop="1">
    <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}summary/vertical.tpl" image_size="article_small" />
  </vte:foreach>
  <vte:foreach item = "article" from = "{article_list}" start="2">
    <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}summary/default.tpl" />
  </vte:foreach>
  <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/subcategory_headlines.tpl" />
  <vte:else>
    <vte:value select="{LNG_NO_ENTRIES}" />
  </vte:else>
</vte:if>

Now the line of code just above <vte:else> with LNG_NO_ENTRIES message is include for subcategory news.

Move that line of code just bellow last </vte:if> so this block of code would look like this:

<vte:if test="{article_list}">
  <vte:foreach item = "article" from = "{article_list}" start="1" loop="1">
    <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}summary/vertical.tpl" image_size="article_small" />
  </vte:foreach>
  <vte:foreach item = "article" from = "{article_list}" start="2">
    <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}summary/default.tpl" />
  </vte:foreach>
  <vte:else>
    <vte:value select="{LNG_NO_ENTRIES}" />
  </vte:else>
</vte:if>
<vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/subcategory_headlines.tpl" />

If you want to remove "There were no entries found that match your criteria." message, remove this block of code:

<vte:else>
  <vte:value select="{LNG_NO_ENTRIES}" />
</vte:else>

And that should be it, you should have your news from subcategories displayed even if you don't have news in parent category.

Hope that helps

But the news are still displayed by category. It's not very useful - I simply want the page to show all articles in *this* category *and* all subcategories with the same kind of priority.

Go to your default template for category, and right bellow this line

<vte:box module="box_article_list" params = "{content_params}">

add following parameter:

<vte:params>
  <vte:param name="search_cid" value="{CURRENT_CATEGORY.get_id},{CURRENT_CATEGORY.get_descendent_ids|implode:','}" /> 
</vte:params>

Brilliant Micha! You are a godsend. Worked like a charm.

Hi Mischa,
I have added this lines

<vte:params>
<vte:param name="search_cid" value="{CURRENT_CATEGORY.get_id},{CURRENT_CATEGORY .get_descendent_ids|implode:','}" />
</vte:params>

but I get this http://www.kucnibioskop.com/index.php?category=2

I don't want to get the second part.
I just want beginnings of reviews to be shown, without categories.
