Filtered Topic Lists

[gormus (Osman Gormus)]

@jrgong

setting Default List Filter: no subcategories in a category prevents any filtered topic lists to be displayed in any of the outlets.

Hi @jrgong I can confirm your findings.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a category and subcategory. i.e Top Level Category and Top Level Category > Sub Category
2. Edit Top Level Category settings (/c/top-level-category/edit/settings)
3. Under Appearance, find the Default List Filter setting.
4. Change the value from all topics to no subcategories
5. Configure a new preset in Filtered Topics Lists component to list its content on those both top level and sub categories;
   1. Set Show on = selected_categories
   2. Set Selected categories = Top Level Category, Sub Category
   3. Set Plugin Outlet = (any)
6. View each category pages

What is expected?

Both category pages to show the configured preset results on selected plugin outlet.

What is found?

1. Any category with Default List Filter = no subcategories setting, doesn’t show the Filtered Topics Lists; whether it has any subcategories or not.
2. However, if Show on = everywhere is set, the Filtered Topics List is displayed in selected outlet.

Routing issue when adjusting topic list filters

There is currently a routing bug reproducible under fairly specific conditions: Prerequisites Category with a subcategory Default List Filter category setting should be “no subcategories” for the parent category Solved plugin installed show_filter_by_solved_status site setting enabled enable solved globally or at least for the involved categories Repro steps Change the solved/unsolved filter from the default of “all” to “solved” Change the subcategory filter from the default of “none”…

Events: If subcategories hidden, so is the events calendar

If you have an events_calendar_categories set in that category’s settings set Default List Filter to be no subcategories then the events calendar is not displayed. I discovered this when making a subcategory to house expired events (as an alternative to deleting them).
