my catalog settings overviews says:
The number of nodes in a category will be shown in the catalog breadcrumb.
but in the edit tab i find that setting is unchecked.

furthermore, the overview tab and the edit tab wording is slightly different. for eg.
in overview it says:
Categories in the catalog block will be expanded if selected.
however, in edit it says:
Display subcategories in catalog view

unless of course, these are 2 different things?

As a follow up to this, it seems like the first issue has been fixed. The second, however, is still a mismatch... the checkboxes there are sort of ambiguous and could do with the standard sentence format.

I did notice, too, that turning on the node count in the breadcrumb doesn't seem to work at all.

It does now! Got to looking at it and fixed that bit yesterday.

Hi Lyle,

I'm getting double counts at the category level.

eg
Jewelry (14)
-> bracelets (3)
-> earrings (4)

Do you know if this is a known bug?
Or, should I start investigating?

(on Beta2)

Thanks,
e.

ok

I see what's going on.

uc_catalog_set_breadcrumb() is calling
taxonomy_term_count_nodes() with the parent
of the subcategory.

eg Jewelry when on the earrings subcategory page.

taxonomy_term_count_nodes then counts all
the products from each category and subcategory
and returns the total.

eg
7 Jewelry (parent)
3 bracelets
+4 earrings
----
14 total <- I thought it would return only 7
which is the total # of products
in the Jewelry category.

Maybe my problem is in how I categorize my items.
I put every jewelry item in 2 categories.

eg An earring is in the Jewelry category and the
earrings subcategory.

The reason I did this is so that when you click on
Jewelry all the items in the subcategories are shown.
Otherwise it was empty until one clicks on a subcategory.

Is my thinking here wrong?
Is there a better way of setting this up?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,
e.
