Category Filter not working for sub categories

Hello Tuan, I have noticed the Category filter within Eventbooking isn't searching the children too, just the main categories. How/where can this be fixed?

Hi Matia

That's how it is designed to work. When users choose a category, only events from that selected category will be displayed, not events from sub-categories.

If you want the system to display events from both main and sub-categories, you can try to get this file, unzip it, upload to components/com_eventbooking/models folder (you are talking about the filter in the front-end, correct ?) and try again !

Regards,

Tuan

Please make sure you back-up the old file before uploading this new file as I don't know what version of Events Booking you are using. This modification is based on latest version of EB (1.6.2) code.

The filter issue is in the backend. Do you have a code change for that?

I found that the backend uses /administrator/view/categories/tmpl/default.php to display the category page and use the filter. I could not however find an SQL statement (or something else...) that runs the filter and gathers the search results. I assumed I could just edit an SQL statement so it searches child categories also. Am I missing something, is there another page I should be looking at Tuan? Thanks!

Hi Matia

I am afraid of it is difficult in this case. However, if you want, you can try to customize the code in administrator/components/com_eventbooking/model/categories.php . But it is difficult to customize it and I am afraid of you could not do it.

I will try to spend sometime tonight to try to work on it for you !

Don't worry about it, I will just tell my customer this component does not contain that functionality.

OK Matia. I will then consider adding support for it in the future release, should not be hard .
