In Joomla! 3.3.6 the subcategories in menu items do not display on the frontend. #4937
Comments
True. There seems to be a problem. It happens if we select "Featured Articles" as the menu. Awaiting fix for this. Thanks |
IMHO, the issue is that, when using List Categories, "All" is not taken into account as the Option for "All" is "-1" |
So, whats the solution? Thanks |
We have to make a PR correcting this behavior... In the xml as well as the display. If nobody does it, I will look at it in a few days. |
I'm now looking into this: will report shortly (24h max) if I feel like pushing something... |
I would like to report on this issue here, step by step as I proceed, so that someone can "stop" me as soon as I'm taking a "wrong way". If this is inappropriate and considered a nuisance... well... stop me! 😄 First report:

For issue description please see joomla#4937 This first commit is just a kludge (or is it a nice hack?) equating the value of option for "All" categories (-1) to the really big int, 2147483647 (the biggest representable in 32bit PHP compiles)
We have a PR with a first tentative commit (a.k.a "The kludge") |
@smz: you are right: "None" makes no sense. Test instructions: "Subcategory Levels" in the "Categories" tab deals with the subcategories of the TOP category @smz proposed solution smz@d752324 works fine here. |
@infograf768 hmmm... the fact that you pointed to the initial commit and not to the PR makes me think that you don't like me having addressed the icon issue in the same PR... Is this the case? Do you want me to get rid of that and eventually propose a separate PR? No problem for me... Yes, I agree with the interpretation of "Subcategory Levels": do we want to change strings here? |
ops, just saw the PR, did not see the # in #4937 (comment) |
Ouch! My bad, I forgot to mention it... PR is #5469! |
Set to "closed" on behalf of @Harmageddon by The JTracker Application at issues.joomla.org/joomla-cms/4937 |
Closing this, as #5469 is merged. This comment was created with the J!Tracker Application at issues.joomla.org/joomla-cms/4937. |
This seems to be broken again in the recent Joomla Versions |
@fbc can you please open a new Issue as Comments on closed Issues didn't get much Notice. |
Steps to reproduce the issue
Hi,
I have attached 12 screenshots of this Joomla bug issue.
In Joomla! 3.3.6 the subcategories in menu items do not display on the frontend. They displayed correctly prior to the upgrade from J2.5x to J3.3x and I did not change any menu/category/article display settings.
I have all the menu item settings set to "Global". The menu items use the "Global" Article Manager Option settings.
I didn't change any settings before or after upgrading from J2.5x to J3.3x so it should have stayed the same with subcategories displaying like they used to.
The subcategories are not listed on the "List All Categories" menu item pages. For example, if you go to this test site page:
http://2test-directory.nemmar.net/animals-wildlife
Only the top level categories display and no subcategories display. All the top level and sub-level categories should be displaying (like they did prior to the upgrade) on the "List All Categories" menu item pages. You can see examples of sub-categories that should be but are not displaying on the main page at:
http://2test-directory.nemmar.net/animals-wildlife/environmental-and-wildlife-conservation
http://2test-directory.nemmar.net/animals-wildlife/land-species
I cleared the cache and also tested this in Protostar template and my Joostrap template and the same problem occurs in both so it probably is a Joomla 3.3x bug.
