[SOLVED] Select single category by default
Re: Select single category by default
8 years 6 months ago
We invested lots of time, energy, nerves and whatever to provide large category trees including multiple selection and now you want one little, lonely category!
O.k., because you want to become an expert I've a little crazy idea.
In components/com_jem/models/fields/catoptions.php find line 80
Below this line insert following block:
This will automatically select a lonely category in the list. (also if there are more categories as long as the user is only permitted to see one)
I'm not sure if we will add this to our official releases so in worst case you need to add these lines each time you update JEM.

Code:
$selectedcats = $db->loadColumn();
Code:
// Special: if there is one category only and nothings selected, (pre-)select this one.
if (empty($selectedcats) && (count($options) == 1) && !empty($options[0]->id)) {
$selectedcats = $options[0]->id;
}
