Display Files From Subcategories

I'm not sure this is a bug. There are no files directly in that category, are there?

Please check the following:

https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/files/

Click on the "View All files" button to display files from all sub-categories, not just Category 1.

https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/files/category/1-files/

Again, there are no files directly in that category. If anything, we should show the subcategories as a list. 

This is the point: no files are in the category, and all files from sub-categories must be shown.
Exactly like the test site:
https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/files/category/1-files/

The test site only has 1 category. I don't believe we show the files from all subcategories, that's simply not how the software works. 

@Baian007, this is a very old request, made in the early days of IPS4. It didn’t change on IPS5, unfortunately. 

I’ve made a plugin for IPS4:

I’ll try to upgrade it to IPS5

That’s not the same thing. VIEW ALL FILES appears because there’s only one category there. It won’t appear if you have more than one category.

I see; please, team, fix this...

@Adriano Faria , thank you

The current method seems a bit confusing. Could we explore the option of either displaying the files directly from subcategories or eliminating the file count in subcategories altogether? Additionally, what is the rationale for having an empty category solely to count the number of files in subcategories without actually displaying those files? I would appreciate your insights on this approach. Thank you.

Please feel free to add as a discussion. You have added this as a bug here. 

You are mixing up categories and tags here. If you categorise something, they sit within that category. If you have a category without anything in it, then of course it would be an empty category. 

@Marc Okay, well noted.

I will open a discussion about that.

Be Well
