Hello,

1) I want to use Latest Categories Mod more than once by giving category ID. How can it be done ?

2) I want a small view more link at the bottom of Latest Categories Mod. How can I do that ?

Hi,

1) I want to use Latest Categories Mod more than once by giving category ID. How can it be done ?

You can copy the module as often as you want in Joomla's back end configuration. Use the "Copy" button in the module manager.
You can parameterize each module individually.

What do you mean exactly with "...by giving category ID"?

2) I want a small view more link at the bottom of Latest Categories Mod. How can I do that ?

What do you want to achieve with such a link?

Actually this is the wrong section to post these questions. Can u guys please move this thread to here http://www.forum.en.joomgallery.net/index.php?board=38.0.

I'm using Joom Gallery and my categories are in this way.

(Wallpapers) Cat1>>
                 >>SubCat1
                 >>SubCat2
                 >>SubCat3
                 >>SubCat4
                 >>SubCat5

(Actress) Cat2>>
                 >>SubCat1
                 >>SubCat2
                 >>SubCat3
                 >>SubCat4
                 >>SubCat5

(Actors) Cat3>>
                 >>SubCat1
                 >>SubCat2
                 >>SubCat3
                 >>SubCat4
                 >>SubCat5

I want to add a new parameter called "Category ID" in the backend of Latest Categories Module. So that I can use this module more than once by giving category IDs of different categories and it should display thumbnails ( only one ) from their subcategories.

View More link at the bottom of this module should redirect to the category in which these subcategories are placed.

I hope I have explained in detail and expecting a positive reply from you.

Thank You.

Please have a look at this thread.

View More link at the bottom of this module should redirect to the category in which these subcategories are placed.

Please enable the category title and the link on the category title in the module's backend configuration.
The link will redirect to the JoomGallery's category view.

I enabled this and it will redirect to the category view of each of these subcategories. What I need is I want a new link at the bottom of this module which should redirect to the category in which all these subcategories are placed.

For example see here http://www.gulte.com/, on that page, you can see Latest Photo Gallery Module in the center and you have a "View More Galleries" link on right side of the module title. When you click on this title, you'll be redirected to the Category called "Photo Gallery". I hope you understand well with this link.

Ok, assuming you have applied the changes discussed in this thread you could do the following.

Insert

Code

  <?php
    // add a view more link to the bottom of the module (link to JoomGallery's category view with catid=rootcat)
    $rootcat = $jgcat_obj->getConfig('rootcat');
    if($rootcat == 0)
    {
      $link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_joomgallery'.$jgcat_obj->getJoomId().'&func=viewgallery');
    }
    else
    {
      $link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_joomgallery'.$jgcat_obj->getJoomId().'&func=viewcategory&catid='.$rootcat);
    }
    // view more link style
    $css = ".".$csstag."vml {\n"
         ."padding:0.5em 0.5em 0em 0.5em;\n"
         . "text-align:right"
         ."}\n";
    $doc = &JFactory::getDocument();
    $doc->addStyleDeclaration($css);
  ?>
  <div class="<?php echo $csstag.'vml'; ?>">
    <a href="<?php echo $link; ?>">View more ...</a>
  </div> 
 

just before this line

Code

  <!-- close jglatestcat main div -->

in the file mod_jglatestcat/tmpl/default.php.

thanks dude, I tried it but I'm getting this error when I open my site.

When I copied the entire code
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/site/public_html/modules/mod_jglatestcat/tmpl/default.php on line 26

When I copiend from  // view more link style
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/site/public_html/modules/mod_jglatestcat/tmpl/default.php on line 14

I checked it again and it's working fine on my installation.

Perhaps you made a mistake while copying and inserting the code.

Please post your changed mod_jglatestcat/tmpl/default.php as attachment of your next post.

Sorry dude, first I used space (new lines) in between begining and ending of these lines in the following way.

First Default Scrit

View More Code

<!-- close jglatestcat main div -->

It gave me those errors and later I tried to paste the code just before  <!-- close jglatestcat main div --> without any blank lines before that. It worked well. Thanks alot.

Now is it possible to put this "View More" field at the backend parameter so that I can put it as "View More Galleries" for latest galleries module, "View More Actress" for latest actress module, "View More Wallpapers" for latest wallpapers module and so on.

Almost anything is possible. But I think a "View more ..." link is sufficient.
