Hello,

First of all excellent Gallery and excellent plugin.
Creating a category works fine with the plugin.
But what I want is that it creates a subcategory in the category it just created.
My question is how do I get the code to pass me the Unique ID (catid) of the newly created category, so I can use it as the parent for another category created.

Plugin behaviour:
- Create category (in parent taken from plugin config parameter)
- Create another category (in parent which was the category created just before)

So how do I get the ID of the just newly created Category.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

in the PHP file of the plugin you will find the following code

Code

$jinterface->createCategory($category);

The interface function 'createCategory()' returns the ID of the successfully created category.

wow, can't believe I missed this line in interface.class.php

Code:

return $row->cid;

Thank you for the prompt reply!

Just quickly tested it and it works, now I can go auto create many categories and subcategories :D

Hi,
Sorry for my bad English, I'll try to make me understand.

I wish JoomAutoCat (latest version) create a personal (four) subcategories for each user, it is still possible? what code should I enter and where?
Thanks in advance to everyone.
