Hi,
I purchased the search join plugin for a rather simple purpose: I want to select a parent category in the search form and display all the articles of the children categories of that parent.
I tried multiple configuration, I think I exhausted what could remotely make sense but I can't get it to work.
I thought the correct way would be:
LEFT JOIN 1 : #__categories id catid #__content
LEFT JOIN 2 : #__categories id parent_id #__categories
And I setup a field to get a category id, the parent one, I tried both a select dynamic and a JForm Category type with storage set to standard category id.
Nothing works
Help appreciated.
Thanks
