Hello,
I am using Teline III with janews2 and joomla 1.5.15:

I have a section XX with six categories A, B, C, D, E, F (in this order).

Via janews2 I would like to show section XX, however only B, C and F category should be visible to the user.

Is this customizable somehow?

Many thanks for your help!

Kind regards

Hello guy!

Please open the file : /modules/ja_news2/helper.php and find function “function loadCategories($sid) {“, try to find the sql query:

[PHP]$query = “SELECT `id`, `title`, `description`, CASE WHEN CHAR_LENGTH(`alias`) THEN CONCAT_WS(“:”, `id`, `alias`) ELSE `id` END as `slug` FROM `#__categories` s WHERE published = 1 and section=” . ( int ) $sid . $where;[/PHP]

=> replace:
[PHP]
$query = “SELECT `id`, `title`, `description`, CASE WHEN CHAR_LENGTH(`alias`) THEN CONCAT_WS(“:”, `id`, `alias`) ELSE `id` END as `slug` FROM `#__categories` s WHERE published = 1 and section=” . ( int ) $sid . $where.’ ORDER BY s.ordering ASC’;
[/PHP]

=, this change allow the ja news 2 displays categories belong to the theirs ordering.

Hello,
Many thanks for your answer … However it does not fully answer my question yet.
Let me explain it in more detail:

I have a section XX set-up with six categories A, B, C, D, E, F. (see pic 1)
Janews2 does display them like this (see pic 2).

What I want to achieve is this (see pic 3), means category A, D and E should not be shown from janews2, also in the user settings block only B, C, F should be visible for selection (also in right order). I do not want to change the category order in the backend.

Question 1:

• How can categories be hidden from being displayed in the article block?

Question 2:

• How can categories be hidden from being displayed in the “user settings” block?

Question 3:

• See pic2: The categories are not shown in the right order. How can this be realized?

Many thanks for your support !

Kind regards
