Limit Sub-categories

[gspinney]

Say, search all over and can't find a field to limit the sub-cats.

Want to be able the sub-categories to 3.

How do you do this, where do you do this???

There is no method to limit sub categories other than not adding them.

Only the admin adds categories, so no method to limit them is required.

Yikes man, harsh response.

Maybe you didn't understand my question? I am was not talking about the Main Category list, but rather the SUB Categories.

I am trying to limit the {$sub_link} or Sub Categories which I am sure has a limit somewhere,
otherwise the More >> link would sorta be a redundant addition to the script.

[Bruceper]

It wasn't meant to be harsh, nor did I use any harsh words, it was simply factual.

And perhaps I'm still a bit unclear on this, so let me ask it this way.

On the index, you only want three subcats to display under each category regardless of how many subcategories there are?

So for example, in your screenshot "Billing Issues" has 4 questions, but you want it to only show 3 and to remove the "More >>" link. Correct?

[gspinney]

No.

You see under "Billing Issues (4)"

I only want 3 sub categories, then More >>

[Bruceper]

Now I understand. I'll answer shortly, I'm having some issues with my monitor so it might be a bit while I'm switching it out.

With the assistance of Dewa I was directed to a particular line and I hope this helps you out. On the index.php look for a line that says

$faqs = $app->GetFaqsIndex(5);

Change the 5 to a 3 and you should be good to go.

Sorry for the delay, I have been fighting with my display for a week and replaced it tonight with a CRT monitor, the quality sucks but at least it's staying on!

[gspinney]

Thanks, but that only limits the listings on the index page.

I am talking about limiting the sub_categories on the faq.php page.

[Bruceper]

I don't see any way of limiting them on the faq.php page, and my fuzzy brain this morning tells me I don't think that you can, but I will talk with someone later and find out if this is possible.

[Bruceper]

In app.php:

$query = "SELECT *
FROM {$this->cfg[table][faq]}
WHERE faq_cat_id = '{$val['faq_cat_id']}'
ORDER BY faq_id LIMIT 5";

the line should be around 2601 on function GetCats($cat_id = "")

Change the 5 to a 3, again special thanks to Dewa for this response

You can download a copy in the client area, the filename is something like idesk_source_161 or something like that.

Well after a little tweeking, as I had to reupload most of the files.. it's working.

Thanks you.
