Hi,

I have Co.7.9620 installed.

I create Type with its Field, I create Section with its Categories and I assigned a Menu to this section.

The problem is, there is no Category Index visible at all.

I have set all parameter accordingly with no result.

And then, I installed Forum Pack.

It works. All Categories are visible. So I conclude, nothing to do with my Joomla Template.

I try to Save to Copy the Section from Forum Pack and assigned it to a Menu and create Categories. Still no result.

**Next, I open my database and went to js_res_sections table. I see something wrong in the last column which is named categories.

Although I have 2 categories in the Section, but the value in last column (categories) is always 0 or NULL. So, I change the value to 2.

And Abrakadraba, now category is visible in Category Index.**

I try to add more category in section. But the value in database remain the same.

I don't know what is wrong but at least, I can continue my project.

That was fixed long ago and should be fixed in 7.9620. That is strange you did not have it.

If you add new category to section will categories column of sections table increase?

Also check administrator/components/com_cobalt/controllers/category.php if you have postSaveHook() there with

$db->setQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #__js_res_categories WHERE section_id = {$section->id}");

$section->categories = $db->loadResult();

$section->store();

AT THE END.

This is strange. It is not what is in the latest release. Line 9 have to be at line 22.

I downloaded cobalt package and unpacked it and checked the file and it is correct

So, there may be only one reason why. This file was not updated on update because of file permissions. And that may happened to other files as well. That may means that you have some files outdated.

Try to set files to 644, folders to 755 and reset ownership to ftp user and set FTP settings in Joomla configuration.
