Product in Multiple Categories?

[laurahowes]

Is there a way to include a product in more than one category?
I've done several searches and checked out the Addons section, but can't figure out how to make this possible.

Creating identical products in multiple categories won't allow me to accurately track inventory levels.

TIA,

You want to use the Copy on the Product and add it as a Linked Product to another Category ...

You also will want to peek at the Known Bug Fixes as there are related fixes to Linked Products, as well as others that should be fixed:

This is very easy to do. Get to the page with the products you want to copy, in catalog>categories/products. You will see on the right side of the product listings the small symbols, e, x, m, c, etc. C is to copy, so click the c in for the product you want to copy. You can duplicate or link, duplicate will make a cloned copy with it's own product ID, linking will leave the product in it's original category(the master category) and will create a new one that is linked to the master therefore not creating duplicate content - the product ID is the same for both the master and linked product.

If you want to link it to more than one category click the multiple categories link manager at the bottom of the menu.
