Had this problem too, the ifnull() may be better for checking

if ($noauth) {
$access_check = "\n AND a.access <= " . (int) $gid;
$access_check_content = "\n AND ifnull(b.access,0) <= " . (int) $gid;
}

hi,
That seems to fix the issue with "List - Content Section", however there seems to be a similar issue with "Blog - Content Category":

If the category is empty, the description isn't displayed (despite "show description" being selected). As soon as there's content in there, the description shows up.
Surely the description should be there no matter whether the category is empty or not?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

cheers,
Kane

For blog-content category:

replace line 1386:
} else {
// Generic blog empty display
echo _EMPTY_BLOG;
}

with:
} else if ( !$total && $menu && $menu->componentid && ( $descrip || $descrip_image ) ) {
// Generic blog empty display
// checks to see if there is description to display
echo '';
$link = $mosConfig_live_site .'/images/stories/'. $description->image;
echo '';
echo '';
echo '';
echo '
';
if ( $descrip_image && $description->image ) {
echo '';
}
if ( $descrip && $description->description ) {
echo $description->description;
}
echo '

';
echo '
';
} else {
// Generic blog empty display
echo _EMPTY_BLOG;
}

Thanks for those fixes.  Running version 1.8 I had to use NoZippy's fix.  The first one made all my categories disappear regardless of content!

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem after updating from Joomla 1.0.11 to 1.0.13.
I looked in the content.php and I saw that the fix from above is included.

But the problem is still there. Categories with no content items are not shown in list content section.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Thanks Papi

If you are refering to my fix - it fixes "If the category is empty, the description isn't displayed" problem, which is not the same problem as "Categories with no content items are not shown in list content section". There is also a fix for that problem in this thread. Also check if parameter in list content section configuration "show empty categories" is set to "yes".

Thank you for your answer kauselot. I meant the fix from notzippy. It is included in the content.php of Joomla! 1.0.13.
the configuration ist set like you described it.
When I put my site back to 1.0.11 all is ok.

Hi Papillon,

I found that the fix in 1.0.13 content.php is not exactly the same than the one from notzippy.

So if you replace line 326
Quote:
access_check_content  = "\n AND ( b.access <= " . (int) $gid ." OR b.access is null)";

by
Quote:
$access_check_content  = "\n AND ifnull(b.access,0) <= " . (int) $gid; (from notzippy fix)


it will work.

Post subject:  Re: [LOW:CONFIRMED:1.0.12] Empty categories not displayed
Hi, I tried some of the solutions above, and many worked, there is one issue:

Example Case
Code:
Section Cars
[ Here is description for cars in general]
   Category 4wd
   [Here are descriptions for 4wd]
      Article Hummer
      [Description of a hummer]
      Article Rover
      [description of a rover]
   Category Prototypes
   [Description for Prototypes]
      No Articles

The initial problem was that the category Prototype would not show up.

Now the issue is that everything shows up on the Section 'Cars' .
Everything in the section is expanded, including 'Prototypes'.

The desired result I was hoping for is hierarchical links, for example

We click on 'Cars' section link from the menu we will see:
Code:
Car's Description
* 4WD
* Prototypes

Just as it would for category page showing links of articles in it..

Any help would be great,
Thanks guys.
