The issue I am currently facing is rather simple – and perhaps the solution is
also at hand should I be a bit more proactive and start looking around the
documentations in greater depth. Anyhow my question is related to category
browsing….
If I have sub-category and I try to call entries from its super-category the
system does not list those entries that are in the sub-category.
For example if I have a category “Chat” and sub-category of “Celeb gossips” if
I select the “Chat” category browser to see entries only those will be listed
that belong to “Chat”. Those belonging to “Celeb gossips” will not get listed
unless the user specifically selects the “Celeb gossips” from the
Velocity-generated Category tree.
I believe this is a bit awkward situation as majority of users would like to
see what are under Chat category in general and then focusing on their browsing
experience with the sub-category further (well, I do it like that anyway). What
I currently have is that if someone clicks on category browser then he/she gets
nothing despite of high number of subcategory postings – which will give the
assumption that the site is empty.
I simply used the example to show the category browser from the Template guide:
#set($rootCategory = $model.weblog.getWeblogCategory("nil"))
#showWeblogCategoryLinksList($rootCategory true true)
Anyway, if anyone knows any workaround to this issue please let me know.
Also if I select the lowest level of category it changes to
“categoryObject.name” in the Simple template (5.04) – but that is my least
worry actually.
Currently I can overcome this issue by re-creating posts in super-category and
canonicalize the article to the original one (Not fun!).
As always, helps and comments are warmly welcomed!
Thanks
