How might I add the next highest category level when viewing posts in the main view? This would help up greatly.

Hello Philip,

I have added the necessary hacks on the file frontpage.post.php and it should show the parent / child category relation.

Also, please do understand that our support scope does not cover customizations. Unfortunately we would not be able to assist you with customizations in the future.

Hello Philip,

Since the $category object has the parent_id property, you can use it to render the parent category. I guess the code would look something like



<?php

$parent = DiscussHelper::getTable('Category');

$parent->load($category->parent_id);



echo $parent->title;

?>


Anyway please do understand that customizations are actually beyond the scope of our support.

Apologies, I thought there may have been a toggle switch I was missing. As for the code above, thats a little over my head. I have no idea where to insert such a thing.

I left StackIdeas EasyDiscuss a positive review on the Joomla Extensions site. Thanks again for everything.

Hello Philip,

Please try to replace the attached file in ../components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/frontpage.post.php. If it's doesn't help, you can provide us your backend and FTP so we can apply the hack for you.

I keep saying thank you, but that doesn't really cover it. I truly grateful for everything done.

I understand the scope of support. I didn't expect customizations on by behalf, but I certainly appreciate it.
