Category Intros not visible after 6.23 to 7.0 upgrade

rklug · December 26th, 2009, 11:23 AM

Just upgraded PhotoPost Pro from 6.23 to 7.0, and now Category Introductions (title and text) are not visible on showgallery.php pages. (I am using the default VBulletin 3.8.4 style.) When viewing category info in the admin area, category intros are enabled, and all info appears intact. It's just not showing on showgallery.php for end users.

I've searched all options I am aware of, thinking there might be a global enable/disable setting for this somewhere, but I find nothing. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for the ongoing support and development of this wonderful product.

A bit more research reveals that the problem with Category Introductions (title and text) not being visible on showgallery.php in V7 is directly impacted by that particular category's "Contains Thumbnails?" setting.

If "Contains Thumbnails?" = "No", then Category Introductions (title and text) ARE visible.

If "Contains Thumbnails?" = "Yes", then Category Introductions (title and text) are NOT visible.

I hope this helps in reseaching the root cause and resolving the issue.

Thanks I will take a look although not sure this ever was controlled by such a thing.

Chuck, I'm just following up to see if you've been able to duplicate this issue on any other sites. Sorry to be a pest. I know you're busy.

at the top of your showgallery template see this line

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

It is suppose to be intro as noted above not hasintro

Hi, we have the same problem .. not sure how nto solve this!

Chuck, it appears the line you are referring to above is completely missing from my showgallery.php file (both in v7.0 12/18 and 12/30 versions). When I paste it into the code, the intro title and text do appear on the webpage, but I can't seem to find the right place in the code to insert that text for things to align properly. Can you please clarify exactly where it belongs? Thanks!

I am not sure what you mean by its missing if your uploading our files becauses its line 5 of the showgallery templates every last one of them

Okay, sorry about my confusion. I found it in showgallery.tmpl, made the change, and now Category Intros title and text are showing like a champ. Thanks for the help!
