Product shows twice in ALL PRODUCTS view

[debtag]

I have the same PRODUCT listed in two different categories.

How do I keep the product from showing up twice in the "ALL PRODUCTS" view?


Also....I have added a UPLOAD option to one of my products.
How do I remove the words: PLEASE CHOOSE from the option?

Thank you!

When the same product is listed in two different categories, its considered as two different products
Correct me if I am wrong
And sorry I dint get the upload part....care to elaborate more?

I installed an UPLOAD option on one of my pages.

It appears on the page as follows:

Please choose:
Upload ONE file at a time!
(the upload box is here with a browse button)

I added the words: Upload ONE file at a time, but "please choose" showed up on it's own. I did not add those words and I cannot find where to get rid of them.

So, I guess as far as the double products, I can't fix it so it only shows up once in the "all products view"?

Thanks!

If you have "linked" the product to the second category, it will only show up once in All Products. If you have "duplicated" it to the second category, you have two products that happen to look identical (until you edit one of them).
Check out the "id=xxx" in the address bar for each of them on the product info page. If they are the same, they are linked.

A search in Tools > Developers Toolkit for "please choose" (in the lower left box) shows this:

/includes/languages/english/your_template/product_info.php

Line #15 : define('TEXT_PRODUCT_OPTIONS', 'Please Choose: ');

Edit that as you like, or delete the text leaving only the two single quotes:

define('TEXT_PRODUCT_OPTIONS', '');

THANK YOU! I found in my ftp program and edited my product_info.php file! I took out the words "please choose" leaving the quotes in tact and BINGO! Yay! Thank you so much!

Now...for the product duplication....I hear you saying that I should "link" the products....not sure how to do that...but while waiting to hear from you...I will do some research!

Crazy...but all this learning about Zencart is kinda fun! I've come a LONG WAY! (Thanks to all the graduated Zenners like yourself! ) Thanks for your help!

OKAY! I snooped around the forum and found the answer!

Thanks to Kuroi...I found the following!

Yes. If you go to the category containing the product under Admin > Catalog > Categories/Products then you will see a row of icons towards the right one of which is (I think) a white "c" in a blue circle. Click on that and you can copy a product to another category.
You can either link copy of do a full copy. In the former case the product shows in both categories but there's only one instance, so any changes will affect both. In the latter case a new, identical product is created, which can then be edited independently of the original.

It is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again!
