I am looking at upgrading my current ecom website. We are expanding the product lineup in our b&m store to over 25,000 products, June 1, 2012, so we need to get the category issue resolved before we can relaunch our new website store.
Currently I have 21 categories and 455 subcategories with eight of the subcategories going five levels deep. There are no products uploaded to the store and it is a clean zc install. I uploaded the categories thru easypopulate.
In each category/subcategory combo that go more than three levels deep, all I get is the header for the page and nothing else. I can not browse to any other subcategory.
Example: Beads > Gemstone Beads > Jasper Beads > Zebra Jasper Beads > Bronze Zebra Jasper Beads
I can view the Beads and the Gemstone beads categories just fine, but when I click on Jasper, all I get is the header and nothing else. The jasper subcategory has 43 subcategories and will have more than 900 products.
All category/subcategory combo that are three levels deep or less work just fine.
Any clues, suggestions or ideas to try?
I understand the recommendation of limiting how deep the cat/subcat levels go. I run a craft & hobby store and there is no way to limit the cat/subcat level to three or less levels. We currently have over 15,000 products. When you get into jewelry making supplies, there are sites with cat/subcat levels more than ten deep. One type of bead we carry, Gemstone Beads, has over 4600 kinds, types, shapes, sizes, colors, etc. There is just no way to present it in just three cat/subcat levels.
I do not have a link to post as this test site is on an internal pc with Windows 7 & WAMP Server, and is not connected to the internet.
I would like to resolve this as I like the look, functions and operation of zc.
BTY, I have had the exact same issue with categories/subcategories with oscommerce and other similar ecom carts when I tryed them out.
