Fetching items from children categories

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi, I've been using zentools1 and now trying to switch to zentools2.

But I cannot find how to achieve this in zentools2.
- To specify a K2 category and fetch items from all children categories (in grid layout).

In zentools1, I had settings as below:
- K2 content source: Categories
- Specified one parent category
- Fetch items from children categories: Yes

In zentools2, my settings are as below:
- Content source: K2
- Select from items or categories: Categories
(Here, selecting one parent category does not pull articles. So I need to select each children category one by one. This would be problem because if I add child category in the future, it won't be automatically included.)

Is there any way to fetch items from children categories?
Thanks,

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I'm using zentools2 v1.0.8.

When I selected one parent category, zentools2 shows message "No content found. Please refine your module content settings." on front-end.

Thanks,

Hi Rikao,

Nice to see you again.

I've added this to my list for v1.1 which I had hoped would be released this week but I think it will be available next week at this stage.

Thanks!
