Getting Categories Controller to use it's own discussions.php view

edited January 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I'm trying to make a plugin that shows subcategories on top of discussions in Categories page... (http://domain/categories/category-name/)

I found out that CategoriesController::Index() is not using discussions.php that is in it's own view folder. But insted it's using the one in /applications/vanilla/views/discussions/discussions.php

Please refer to image below :

It seems like this is intentional... (look at class.categoriescontroller.php line:141)

I tried changing some lines (in class.categoriescontroller.php and /applications/vanilla/views/categories/discussions.php) but i keep getting the Bonk page.

  1. I want to know why?

  2. How to force it to use it's own view?

  3. How to override a view in your plugin? (leaving original files untouched)

    Nevermind...

    It doesn't have it's own view.

    That /views/categories/discussions.php is for Categories::Discussions( ), not Categories::Index( )
