When you create a category with subcategories and insert a course into the subcategory folders, the highest level category counts the course as (0) instead of however many courses are inside the subcategory folders.

Example:                           Top Category (0)   <-- If the category has two subcategories each with 1 course this should count (2) not (0)
                                                                |____ Subcategory (1)
                                                                |____ Subcategory (1)

I badly need a fix to this problem. I am demonstrating a proposed online campus to charities and business advisory services with a view to getting it sponsored and the ones I have sent to the demo tell me there are no courses they can view (because the top level count says (0).

If nobody can offer a code fix for this bug can someone point me to which files need to be edited so I can try to fix it myself.

Which files are called and what are the dependencies? Are there changes needed in the database?

kind regards

Jim

hope that Fabio will read this
I will send hm an e-mail.

Hello,

I saw the problem of Category Count Error. I agree it would be much better to see in parent categories the total of courses included in subcategories. As I didn't see any reaction here, I decided to look inside the code.

Here is my contribution. Please find here attached the  \doceboLms\lib\lib.course.php file I changed to get the following result.  (see attachment link on top right)

Main category   ----  Category  1 (course content (3))   -----Category  2 (course content (1)) -----Course (a)

                                                                                   -----Category  3 (course content (2)) -----Course (b)
                                                                                                                                         ------Course (c)

You can imagine all possible organization of your courses and parent categories will always show total courses including itself + all sub categories.

I also suggest you change using the administration panel, menu "Principal or Main', 'languages"    in leaarning management system, module course, the key _category_empty   message to suggest visitors visiting subcategories instead of having  "no course in this category" message.

For thoose who want to have a look into the code, look the enclosed file under Notpad++ or any other editor from line  947 to 535.  I made some comment to help.

Before copying the enclosed  file to your ftp server, please rename old file and keep a copy. But all tests I made were successful.

I suggest developers to test and publish it or adapt.  ( I precise I'm not a developer, I just have some basic knowledge)

Enjoy !

Hi Damien,

I am using Course Catalog for controlling the course visibilities. The Course Category Count is also error.

I am using Docebo 3.6.0.3.

Can your file helps?

Appreciate your reply.
