Hello

I noticed that you have to explicitly check the ALL category - eg. I have 2 categories - "All" and "Funny" and I need to check both if I want the video to appear under ALL on the main view. I would have thought that ALL would always show ALL items, regardless of whether I ticked ALL or not?

It should be treated as a special category that automatically shows everything, but it seems to be just like a pre-definied named category - perhaps it should not be shown on the item edit screen and then always show all categories on the main view if they sellect ALL? Am I being pedantic?

I had looked at this also, and came up with a fix that i posted earlier here. I will paste it in here for you to look at.

The ALL Category problem has been bugging me too. I have alot of users that don't check the ALL Ckbox. I even put a note in the Upload form, and it still doesn't get checked. I was having to change it manually in the DB every time this happened. And if i edited the file through the Repository, it then showed me as the Author. Neither one of these solutions were very good. So, i finally got around to installing the source code and found a quick fix for now.

In the Form.ascx.vb, there is a comment about checking to see if there was more than 1 category, if not, add it to the ALL Category automatically.

Line 688 Form.ascx.vb

If strCategories.Length = 1 Then

' every item must be associated with the ALL category

I changed it to:

If strCategories.Length > 0 Then

' every item must be associated with the ALL category

This automatically gave me every file uploaded to be added to the ALL Category. Problem now is that i didn't want to have the ALL Checkbox shown in the Upload form.

Line 448 and 474 Form.ascx.vb

For i = 0 To Arr.Count - 1

I changed it to

For i = 1 To Arr.Count - 1

This now lists the categories in your upload form, skipping the first one, which is the ALL Category. Note that if you changed the order of listing your Categories, it will skip the first one regardless if it is the ALL Category or not.

Now I changed these and have tested it on my pc and then tryed it online, and it seems to work just fine. I am not a programmer, so there may be a reprocussion somewhere else, but i haven't found it yet. Hopefully this will shed some light for others.

Hope that helps
