It's a simple category lister...it lists ALL categories, including sub-cats (but doesn't say if something is a sub-cat or not, which is what the prev poster was trying to say). it runs a simple query against the Categories table for the DOCman entries. If this is what you want, then you have a 100% working module. If not then...

The 'count' parameter doesn't work...and most people probably wouldn't want it to. It defaults to '7'. I changed it to '1' as well as '0', and it still listed everything. Not a problem for my intended use. :)

The number of items listed in the categories are ONLY in that category, NOT cat + sub-cat. Kind of a bummer, and I'm still too new to PHP to figure it out.

HOWEVER...

To change this to a menu module (or to list only the main categories):
1) Remove the 'count' parameter from the XML file and the $count line from the PHP file
2) Look for the following line:
. "\n AND section = 'com_docman'"
And add the following line after it:
. "\n AND parent_id = '0'"

A 30 second fix/upload and you've got yourself a menu for DOCman!

This module does the job bringing up the categories but it would be more helpful if it brought them up in a tree. I have many subcategories with the same names under higher categories and it just lists all the categories so you don't know which one you are getting when you click on the link.

A new tree module, has been released which would solve the category/subcategory hierarchy issues.

I was hoping this module would essentially produce a menu from my DocMan categories. It will only list the docs in a particular category. Somewhat useful I suppose.

What was really odd, is after publishing the module. Suddenly FireFox was asking me was to do with my index.php page, that's right the HOME page?! When it does not know what to do with a file, the browser will ask you to Save it or Open it. A PHP file??

I published it to the left module position, so nothing weird about my setup. This proved not very useful out of the box.

Owner's reply:
In first place, the module lists the docman categories and not the documents.

The module is not tested with Mac.So I cannot reply exactly what could be the issue there.Many hundreds of websites uses the module across many platforms. Thanks for the review anyways.
