Hello all.  I seem to have run into a problem with my item counter (next to the title) in the categories view.  I invite you to follow this link : www.brigittegiguerecourtiere.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=121
You will notice a number of sub-categories.  The sub-categories : Bureautique/technologie, Communication, Dév. matériel de cours and Équipes, gestionnaires, exécutifs, are showing the proper item counter numbers.  The other sub-categories, are not.  They are showing way out of proportion numbers.  As an example: Formation des formateurs is showing (48) items, but in reality there are only 6 (if you click on the sub-category, you'll see them).  This is the only category this is happening to.  I don't understand what's happening because if I check the category and sub-categories in the back-end (administrator), the proper item count is showing.   Also, I tried disabling the 'item count' option and it still shows the numbers.  Help!!   Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you deleted any items?

Thanks for your response. Yes I do have a number of deleted items, some in the categories published and some in trashed categories.

I havent seen this before, but you might try permenantly deleting the items already in the trash for the category that is displaying incorrectly and see if that makes a difference.

Well, I have permanently deleted the 'trashed' items and categories and it hasn't changed anything. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

in components\com_k2\models\itemlist.php
search this:
$categories = K2ModelItemlist::getCategoryChilds($id);
and remplace for:
$categories = K2ModelItemlist::getCategoryChilds($id,true);
in the function "countCategoryItems"

Hello Martin,

Thanks for the response. The problem is solved. Much appreciated. Brigitte

Martin, is this a bug that needs to be fixed or has this been fixed in 2.3 or a svn? (since its a change to the core file that will be lost on upgrade or reinstall)

Hi,

For me, it's a bug in the K2ModelItemlist::getCategoryChilds function declaration & code.

File : 'components/com_k2/models/itemlist.php', line 444 (v2.3)

The 2nd parameter is set to 'false' by default but should be 'true' by default to reset the childs array on each external function call.
In the function code, the function is called recursively, and it should be called with a 2nd parameter set to 'false'.

I've already made these changes and waiting for a correction. In 2.4 ?

Olivier
