move multiple Products to Catigories...

Is there a way to move multiple products at one time to categories.
Also how do you add a Sub-Category once you have made a bunch of products.(the category button dissappears)
I tried to find something with no luck.

I have way to many items and now I want to create sub categories and move items into each of them, but moving 50+ is a pain one by one.

Any quick helps would be great. I don't do code or any of that so I would be lost if you tell me to add this line of code move this line of code and replace this line of code. Bleh!

Read this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153003 What you want to do is explained well here.

Good Luck

Or you might try Easy Populate, which allows you to update multiple products (and categories) all at once.

Re: move multiple Products to Catigories...

Easy populate would work, but it the current stable release requires 2 lines in the csv file to delete an item, then another to re add it in a new category. Maybe the svn has something new

What I've done is used easy populate initially, then for refinements I middle-click the "m" of each item to open it in a new tab and make small-mass updates this way. I just close the tab after I move it and go to the next. Much quicker than trying to do them one at a time.

Im sure check boxes next to items for mass updating is somewhere on a upcoming feature list.......
