Empty categories on homepage not working

[Adyyda]

I have made a clean install of 3.5 and i see that this version was "improved" because now, on home page i see all categories, i can click on any with an ad but on those with no ads (0), no action is performed, no message is shown to the user. This improvement is a really bad idea.
Some requested that empty categories to be hidden. And by that, we should have an admin option to show all categories even if they are empty, or hide the ones without ads.
So we have now a broken function compared to previous version and no improvement as requested. Nice job. What other improvements were made?

I can specify another one right now...If we have in admin area just 1 country, dropdown field Country should be active and hidden because there is nothing else to chose from.

As a improvement i see that we have now ajax fill in for Location fields (except Country as stated before) which works ok and solves the issue of lag when selecting Region and than see wrong City because of slow interogation of database

Hi,

Only Parent categories are clickable, sub categories don't have links. I just create an issue to fix it. https://github.com/osclass/Osclass/issues/1764

( Also take in mind that search pages if there aren't results back, 404 code is returned )

Inside the zip file you will find the CHANGELOG.txt file if you want to see a summary of improvements and fixes.

Note that you can also add github issues to report bug/issues

if a category or subcategory has no ads, the links will be like http://demo.osclass.org/general/#
if a category or subcategory has at least 1 ads, we have proper link like http://demo.osclass.org/general/index.php?page=search&sCategory=31

you can add 1 listing to any category/subcategory without any ad and from non working will start working.

Hi,


Thats right, categories/subcategories without listings will have href="#" as link.

It will be fixed on the next release.

Sadly, after so many revisions this basic but important issue (also that shows on the main page of every installation) has not been addressed along with wrong item counts showing on the main page. If you know how to edit the page, you are better off removing the automated category links on the main page ad those links manually without showing the item counts because the item counts will show wrong.

I have empty categories on main page with no listing counts.  Why is this happening.

[marius-ciclistu]

 I solved the item counts in one of my posts.
The code does not put a link into empty categories on main page. That behaviour can be changed also in the theme main.pho file if I remember right.

Still having this issue...

[marius-ciclistu]

Because it is a feature not a bug.

How is having a category that just refreshes the page on click a feature?
It should be either
1. Redirecting to a page that says this category is empty
2. Hide the category entirely

Else it just confuses the users.

I'm too stupid to solve this crap without help, so I guess I will have to buy a different Classifieds script, cause this is just plain stupid.
