Categories - "Copy all parameters from" doesn't work

Hello, I finally substitute K2 with FlexiContent.

I'm going to go in production 1st of February with a quite big site (if every goes fine of course).
I've noticed that there are some small issues in FlexiContent, little bugs let's say but I've decided to get rid of K2 anyway and I really hope to find some help in this forum to solve some of those bugs.

I'm having a hard time with the "Category" option "Copy all parameters from".
It simply doesn't work.
I tried to clean the cache, to re-create the folder tree, tried to assign a folder not in the path of the destination folder ....nothing.
The site I'm developing is composed by a number of categories that is really difficult to indentify...it's a portal for Tourism in Greece, I can't see myself spending hours for the configuration of each category.

Is this a known bug?
Could you please help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance for the help.
Ciao

Hi and welcome

We'll try to give you all the help we can provide -

About the category problem, what are the parameters which worked for you, and what are the ones that were left and you needed? I am not sure as how this copy utiliy works, but the more details you give us, the more help the techies here will be able to give you

Thank you.

You are right, I did not explain well the symptom.
Scenario:
- I open a category
- in the "Copy all parameters from:" I choose one category
- I press "Apply" (or "Save")
- when the page is reloaded the "Copy all parameters from:" option does not display the category previously selected but the default option "Select category".

A week ago I've installed Flexi in a Joomla test environment and if I remember well this feature was working there (all the layout parameters were inherited from the specified category).
PS: the test environment has been deleted now, so I can't check immediately...I'll install it again later to check this behaviour.

Thanks
ciao

I've installed again the test environment but the "Copy all parameters from" option doesn't work.
Did you have the time to have a look at it?

Thanks
Ciao

This is still an issue for 1.5.1 stable

Hi, this is not an issue it functions like that. This is not an heritance feature (like in K2) but a simple copy when applying.
That means if you modify something in the source category it will not be changed in the category you copied the parameters to.
Cheers,
Emmanuel.
