Topic: Displaying only one Category

[mytreo]

Wow this is an old topic!

That hack won't work with 1.1. The queries are all different.

[Gobo]

 :'( what to do?

[mytreo]

Well, if you understand what I did with that query then you will be able to use the same approach with 1.1. I'll dig out my 1.1 files and take a look...

[Gobo]

thanks

Basically, replace this in the top of Sources/BoardIndex.php

Code: [Select]

// Find all boards and categories, as well as related information.  This will be sorted by the natural order of boards and categories, which we control.
$result_boards = db_query("
SELECT
c.name AS catName, c.ID_CAT, b.ID_BOARD, b.name AS boardName, b.description,
b.numPosts, b.numTopics, b.ID_PARENT, IFNULL(m.posterTime, 0) AS posterTime,
IFNULL(mem.memberName, m.posterName) AS posterName, m.subject, m.ID_TOPIC,
IFNULL(mem.realName, m.posterName) AS realName," . ($user_info['is_guest'] ? "
1 AS isRead, 0 AS new_from" : "
(IFNULL(lb.ID_MSG, 0) >= b.ID_MSG_UPDATED) AS isRead, IFNULL(lb.ID_MSG, -1) + 1 AS new_from,
c.canCollapse, IFNULL(cc.ID_MEMBER, 0) AS isCollapsed") . ",
IFNULL(mem.ID_MEMBER, 0) AS ID_MEMBER, m.ID_MSG,
IFNULL(mods_mem.ID_MEMBER, 0) AS ID_MODERATOR, mods_mem.realName AS modRealName
FROM {$db_prefix}boards AS b
LEFT JOIN {$db_prefix}categories AS c ON (c.ID_CAT = b.ID_CAT)

LEFT JOIN {$db_prefix}log_boards AS lb ON (lb.ID_BOARD = b.ID_BOARD AND lb.ID_MEMBER = $ID_MEMBER)

WHERE $user_info[query_see_board]" . (empty($modSettings['countChildPosts']) ? "
AND b.childLevel <= 1" : ''), __FILE__, __LINE__);
with this..

Not tested, but it should work.

Thanks Chris

The error is gone but it still dosent work for me

I am also using Tiny Portal, could that be effecting it?

Whenever i type:

http://path-to-peace.net/forum/index.php?catogid=2

It takes me to the board index

Its the same with all categories.

Do you think its a TP conflict or something?

Thanks

[Gobo]

yes it seems it is a TP issue

the link tree is different from normal SMf

Code: [Select]


                // Build up the linktree (adding TPortal forum index)
                $context['linktree'] = array_merge(
                        $context['linktree'],
                        array(array(
                                'url' => $scripturl . '?action=forum#' . $board_info['cat']['id'],
                                'name' => $board_info['cat']['name']
                        )),
array_reverse($board_info['parent_boards']),
array(array(
'url' => $scripturl . '?board=' . $board . '.0',
'name' => $board_info['name']
))
);
}


any idea how i can fix it?

[Gobo]

aha figured it out and now it works

Replace

Code: [Select]


'url' => $scripturl . '?action=forum#' . $board_info['cat']['id'],

With

Code: [Select]


'url' => $scripturl . '?action=forum#' . ';' . '?catogid=' . $board_info['cat']['id'],


in Load.php

And then the URL becomes /index.php?action=forum;catogid=7

Thanks for the code Chris thank you so so much

[mytreo]

Errrm, this link works

http://path-to-peace.net/forum/index.php?action=forum&catogid=5

So that is the format you need to make the links appear in.

[mytreo]

Ahh you figured it out, this would be better though (more correct):

Code: [Select]

'url' => $scripturl . '?action=forum' . '&' . 'catogid=' . $board_info['cat']['id'],

[Gobo]

oki doki ill update it asap thanks :D:D:D

[mytreo]

No probs, glad to help. Interesting site by the way, especially for those of us who are ignorant about Islam - great work

[Gobo]

Thanks

I am still trying to maintain peace on the boards but every now and then we have the odd extremist from one religion or the other (including islam) coming in to do some bashing...crazy people i tell u!!

[aaronsnet]

Basically, replace this in the top of Sources/BoardIndex.php

Not tested, but it should work.

Chris

This does work well on my own board! Thanks! It helps out A LOT!

[mytreo]

No worries, tbh it's such a simple modification that I don't know why it isn't in the official release.

[manuelap]

I am trying to find a solution for the smf-joomla bridge. To show only one category on a page.... I tried the above hacks but can not make it work 

By the way, I am using SMF 1.1 rc2

[ShawnX]

How can we get this hack to work with 1.1 RC3 ?

[shardul]

i installed the view single category mod.. i am using smf 1.1.1 with SMFone Blue theme...

when i click on the category name it do not show that single category...
instead it just collapsed...it..

[Floryn]

Thank you mytreo for taking the time to show us this hack.

I used it and it works, but one small thing botheres me: It messes up my boards order

It shows only one category, but the boards are no longer showed in the defined order. And i don't find any logic in the way it shows them. 

For example:
In a category, I have boards 1, 2 and 3. When i don't use your hack, they appear in the defined order (1, 2, 3). After I replace my $result_boards query with yours, they appear in another order (like 2, 3, 1).  If i click to see all the categories, they appear in the correct order again. Only when i see a category coming from a link with 'catogid' it messes up the order.

I use SMF 1.1.2, but i checked the $result_boards query and is the same as in SMF 1.1.1. And i looked at the entire BoardIndex.php, but couldn't find out what's the problem

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

[mytreo]

It shows only one category, but the boards are no longer showed in the defined order. And i don't find any logic in the way it shows them. 

I've had a look too and can't find why that would be. Surely I'm missing something, but I can't see what.
