Sorry to bother you.

I cannot find the setting to shorten the group categories list shown on the attached image.
I do not want to make changes to the code.
Hopefully there is a setting in the backend.

Hello Joey,

I'm sorry but currently that list cannot be shorten because it doesn't support pagination. If you change the limit of categories displayed there, some of your categories might get displayed.

Hello Joey,

You need to edit this file: ../administrator/components/com_easysocial/models/clustercategory.php and add this codes: http://take.ms/5qIHl in getChildCategories function. Next, open this file ../administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/template/helpers/cluster.php and add your limit here: http://take.ms/fbzd8

By the way this kind of hack is beyond our support scope's policy as outlined in http://stackideas.com/support .

Thanks for the help.

I can live with a long list.

I did not want to hack code.
