Category name links to content item table of particular category. Category description and number of content item may be shown.
Hi i 've recently downloaded this module, it is great, good job.
I was needing to list al cetegory items, even if they are empty, but the parameter Empty Categories in Section, doesn't work.
So to accomplish this i've made a little modification in helper.php line 155 and 161.
line 155: $empty = "\n HAVING numitems >= 0";
line 161: $empty_sec = "\n HAVING numitems >= 0";
as you can see i added the equal sign.
Thanks

Just what the doctor ordered! Thanks for a great component.
High on my wish-list, though, would be some form of integration of the listing with user authorization. Currently, a user will see the number of articles listed in a certain categorie which may not correspond to the number of articles he/she is actually authorized to see.
Nonetheless, I've installed this on all my sites and used it with no problems at all.
Big Thanks!

The only thing that doesn't work is the Module Class Suffix setting. If that is fixed, then this will be an excellent module.
This was a perfect solution for me. After not being able to design the core "Section Layout" to match my creative wishes. I decided to try this module and it does exactly what I need. Shows the category listing - with description - linking to a blog style layout all while keeping my menu items highlighted correctly. Important - because my pages are styled by menu id. Thanks so much!
For anyone who blogs with joomla build-in features and is looking for a wordpress-style cat-module... comes very close to my needs!
wishlist:
Please add different view layouts to the links.
Is it possible to have options for the common joomla-views like table and blog. It is important to adjust the view parameters!
Joomla 1.5 native version possible?
TIA!!!

I downloaded it, was at first disappointed about that simple error. Here is what fixed it for me :
The second last line of mod_categories.php shows :
HTML_content::showContentList( $section, $null, $access, $id, $null, $gid, $params, $null, $categories, $null, $null);
After checking in content.html.php I found out that there is a parameter missing. Just add " , $null" (without ") inside the bracket as last parameter to show this :
HTML_content::showContentList( $section, $null, $access, $id, $null, $gid, $params, $null, $categories, $null, $null, $null );
and it works.

I was interested by it's simplicity but it yet has to mature.
Installed on Joomla 1.0.12, it seems to be working but modules display polluted with an error message:
Warning: Missing argument 12 for showcontentlist() in /home/cafegraf/public_html/lab/components/com_content/content.html.php on line 54
