MG 1.1 Parent Category

[TeflonDon]

"Categories can be infinitely nested and parent categories will show media from all child categories. "


This isn't working for me or I'm not doing it right.

I had two existing categories with media on them. we'll call them Video Category and Gif Category. I created a new category called All Media and it the parent of both Video and Gif. when I go to All Media it says nothing has been added.

Any ideas?

You need to set the parent category to be viewable but not permit media to be added to it. It then acts as a container and shows all child category media.

Ok that worked. Seems like just having all media types unselected wasn't enough, had to unselect all usergroups

Yes that's the way to do it, setting it so no usergroups can upload media.
