not 100% sure what you're asking and it depends what version your store currently uses. the new version will disable every product and you'll need to manually make changes before the Hidden Category will stay hidden but the products will show up in the linked categories.
there's instructions [ur=http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51007]here[/url]

This works perfectly - thanks so much!!
is there a way to take the new catagaory (manafacture) and make this the main catagaory for all products under it with out going thru each product and changing the main catagory.. make sense?
Yes ...
Oh and you want to know how eh?
Peek in the Multiple Categories Link Manager ... click the C for Copy on one of the Products ... it is the button at the bottom ...
*AFTER* backing up your database incase you moof up ...
There is a section at the bottom of the categories for:
Reset ALL Products in the selected Category to use the selected Category as the new Master Categories ID ...
Example: Resetting Category 22 would set ALL Products in Category 22 to use Category 22 as the Master Category ID

cool it works thanks now i have another question... i know how to make 10% off or $15 off price etc. and also that i can set it so only something like any product over $25 is on sale. now is there a way to make everything under a catagory on sale and you get say 10% off of any products that TOTAL $25 of more. like as long as i buy $25 or more of any sale item i get 10%off but if the total is less of all products being bought it won't give the sale?

Take scrapbooking to a whole new level - GO DIGITAL - http://www.hookedondigiscrap.com
This is exactly what I want to do, however, when I try to turn off the category to make it hidden I get this message:
WARNING ...
Note: Disabling a category will disable all products in this category. Linked products located in this category that are share with other categories will also be disabled.
Change the Category Status to: OFF
Change ALL Product Status to: OFF
Also when I try to link the products that isn't a choice, the box is either green or red, it's not turning yellow as it says at the top for linked.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
you could try setting up the category and disabling it before you link any products into it. or if the products are disabled just re-enable them.
to link a product you need to click on the blue C in the Categories / Products listing. choose the Category that you want to link the product into from the drop down box and make sure that the Link product option is checked then click Copy.
