Hello,

The root category ID must be a parent category, it will only display the ads that belong to the children categories of the root selected.

If you wish to display the ads from only one category, you only need to put the category id in the category ID field, not the root one.

Best regards.

i dont see the category id fild....where is in the module search?

Hello,

Ah, sorry, there in no way to select a default category in the search module.

The only way is to custom the code.

Best regards.

Really? so i ve pay for the bronze pack, u can help me?

Hello,

The software is sold as it is. The custom code can be done but it is a supplementary cost.

What you can do is open the search module template file and replace the category select by something like this :

<input type="hidden" name="catid" value="{your catid value}" />

Best regards.

i dont understand where that code i write it.

i put this code :

mod_adsmanager_search.php:

riga 55 $catselect = $params->get('catselect',"no");

mod_adsmanager_search.xml:

riga 52 <field name="catselect" type="text" default="" size="4" label="MOD_ADSMANAGER_ADS_CATSELECT" description="MOD_ADSMANAGER_ADS_CATSELECT_DESC" />

but its not enough.

i ve the field in the module where i put the catid, but it doesnt work. You can help me?



Thank you.

Hello,

The code you need to modify is in modules/mod_adsmanager_search/tmpl/default.php

replace the line:

switch(@$conf->single_category_selection_type) {
            default:
            case 'normal':
                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayNormalCategories("catid",$cats,$catid,array("allow_empty"=>true,'id'=>"catid-".$moduleId));break;
            case 'color':
                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayColorCategories("catid",$cats,$catid,array("allow_empty"=>true,'id'=>"catid-".$moduleId));break;
            case 'combobox':
                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayComboboxCategories("catid",$cats,$catid,array("allow_empty"=>true,'id'=>"catid-".$moduleId));break;
                break;
            case 'cascade':
                if ($type == "horizontal") 
                    $separator = "";
                else
                    $separator = "<br/>";
                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displaySplitCategories("catid",$cats,$catid,array('separator'=>$separator,'id'=>"catid-".$moduleId));break;
        }

By that:

<input type="hidden" name="catid" value="{your catid value}" />

Best regards.

ok, but it doesnt work.
i need only to modified the module search with join the search by catid

i put this code :

mod_adsmanager_search.php:

riga 55 $catselect = $params->get('catselect',"no");

mod_adsmanager_search.xml:

riga 52 <field name="catselect" type="text" default="" size="4" label="MOD_ADSMANAGER_ADS_CATSELECT" description="MOD_ADSMANAGER_ADS_CATSELECT_DESC" />

but its not enough.

i ve the field in the module where i put the catid, but it doesnt work. You can help me?

Hello,

I don't understand what you did in the code and in the xml.

I understand that you wish to add a default category for the search module.
The catselect attribute will just hide the dropdown if you choose no, it doesn't have another functionnality.

Best regards.

i need only to modified the module search with join the search by id of category. like the image.

not a default category, but i need to select category in the back end, not only 1, but also more.

i think i do. the solutions is:

mod_adsmanager_search.php:

row 21 $catid = $params->get('catselect',"0");

row 22 $catselect = $catid;

mod_adsmanager_search.xml:

riga 52 <field name="catselect" type="text" default="" size="4" label="MOD_ADSMANAGER_ADS_CATSELECT" description="MOD_ADSMANAGER_ADS_CATSELECT_DESC" />


and it do what i want.....i hope......u can confirm?
