Linking Multiple Categories

[senkusha]

I know that there is a way to link a product to multiple categories, but, is it possible to link a sub-category to multiple parent categories? for example:

In my store, I have the parent categories labeled as Genre: Action, Horror, Drama, Science Fiction, Romance, etc...

Now, I have a separate unique sub-category, a title of an anime, like Ah! My Goddess. Within this category I have all the products associated with this anime, whether they be DVD's, T-Shirts, etc...

Is there a way that I can link the Ah! My Goddess category to: Comedy, Romance, and Science Fiction?

Thank you!!

I'm afraid that is not possible with the standard category structure. You would need to create new subcategories in the desired locations. If you first put a dummy product in each of those new subcats, you can then bulk copy/link all the products from the original subcat to the new ones. Delete the dummy afterwards - it is just needed so the program can "see" the subcat to copy into it.

dang, i was looking for the same functionality. Are there no mods available? This would suck, i thought zencart did M:M category relationships.

Maybe I'll have to have the database structure to support it then.

I dont think ZC uses hasAndBelongsToMany structure for categories yet.
