It's not compulsory, I was just wondering if you have overloaded the theme from a previous version. If you have, the old theme will not work work with the new version (and so you should replace sub-categores.php with the new one in your theme folder). If you haven't then it is a different problem - if so, could you post the outline of your categories.
Hi Adam,
The site is back. I'm sorry but I'm just getting confused now. Right now all I have done is uploaded:
/SubCategories/default.php
/SubCategories/categories.php
/SubCategories/theme/sub-categories.php
& then enabled extension. Where do I go from here? Thanks again.
Hmm, you know I cannot find what might be causing this Vaz. Are you sure you don't have a sub-categories.php in any other theme folders? Could you please post the outline of your categories (just a list of their full names from the settings pages) so that I can try and work out what the problem is.
It might be worth disabling the extension, deleting the files from the extension folder and trying over again.
Hi,
Well I disabled the extension, deleted it and went back to my category page and got the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function subdiscussioncount() in /home/.pilar/xxxx/xxxxxx.com/forums/themes/categories.php on line 27. I'm presuming this is due to that variable change we made earlier on to show the number of total discussions within a category. Could this be conflicting with the new updated version? (which I tried again and didnt work for me).
Yes, once the extension is gone, so is the function that was added to make discussion counts cumulate with subcategory discussions I am afraid.
I am really quite stumped as to what could be causing the issues you are experiencing so I am going to release 0.2.1 in hope that it fixes your problems.
ok I've restored categories.php (theme file) back to how it was. Error has now gone. Testing new extention.. please wait.
edit- didnt work for me. I bet it's going to turn out to be something really silly. Do you have msn or another form of contact? Do you mind taking a look and trying to get it running?
thanks again.
Milingo, I don't see how nesting would work on the main discussion page. As the whole point of seeing sub-categories is that you are within a category. Or am I misunderstanding you?
Hi,
Pretend I have this menu in my post /comments.php?DiscussionID=1&page=1
Movies > Public Domain: "Movie title"
in the "home page (/)" of the forum it appears as
"Movie title" Category Public Domain
But I'd like to see the full tree as
"Movie title": Movies > Public Domain
Is that possible?
thanks!
Okay, Vaz's problem is due to using the > character in his parent category name. Not sure why this is yet, I presume it has something to do with Vanilla stripping HTML from category titles, interfering with the rendering on the discussions pages, when I know the problem and have fixed it, I will make another release (but till now, try to avoid using the > character).
Hi Adam,
Well I removed the > and it has had an effect. Some sub-categories are now showing but not all. One of my parent category has about 5-7 sub categories. However, just one sub-category is showing.
These seem to be due to the dashes in the sub-category names. I will also look into this when I look into the issue later today. It seems to be a general issue with special characters in names.
This one seems a little more obvious to fix. It is thinking they are sub sub categories, which is a problem (generally, it is making a mince meat of things... but at least I know what it is down to).
I guess it needs to ignore -'s as subcategory indicators after there has been another character. Is that fixable with a little regex?
/me sucks at regex
I am just going to count all -'s that are not at the front, and subtract them from the overall count. I don't want to get into regex, it is slow, and I am not great at it either ;-).
