Gilby, I did not add (nor want or need to add) multiple images to a product. While entering one image into a new product the same image was copied into another established product and category (which then over-rode another established image without my prompting). This does not have to do with entering multiple images. This has to do with the program putting the image into another categories and products by itself. This post is about something that is causing bizarre re-atcions when adding products to the Zen Cart. This was and is not user error. We have been entering items regularly into this store for around 4 years now without any problems.

I have installed Zen cart on many websites now and have never had something like this happen. I am telling you that something in the database and/or script is causing strange results. Three of us call is: "Scrambled". Because when entering new products and cross linking, many times the products scramble into categories in which we did not link to, or according to the girls who enter the product, the wrong image displays.

I am trying to figure out if my imported database into the new zen cart 1.3.9f could cause something like this. Or if there is a bug in the new 1.3.9f or if the multiple links copy feature (which seems to be causing all issues) has a bug in it.
And how can I find out if this has a bug.

Either way, when we create a product and use the copy function to link to multiple categories, strange things happen (sometimes) and the products: "Scramble" as we call it. Because the products, images, or categories get jumbled from what we linked to. This so far has produced problems like: the copy product feature to be linked into categories in which we did not choose, the image being displayed into other categories, and the product just disappearing on one instance. All problems stem from using the copy feature and linking to multiple categories via the checkboxes (which is necessity for our store). And this only happens sometimes (not every time).

This is not a one time deal. These problems have been happening for weeks. We rely heavily on the copy and multiple link manager. And this is where all of our problems have been coming from.
