Copying Sub catagories

I have about 7 main catagories, and then it is tiered into ~20 sub catagories with each of those having a few subcatagories of their own.

Each main catagory needs to have the same subcatagories (same pictures, titles, descriptions), however the products in the sub catagories will be different.

Is there a way to copy the subcatagories into the main catagories? Manual entry of each and every sub catagory over and over again will take a LONG time and seems rather repetitive to enter the same title, description, picture etc over and over again.

Thank you for your time.

There's no tool built into Zen Cart for copying categories. Categories can only be moved. The functionality exists for products within a category. There you can move products or copy them to other categories for multiple listings.

Your best bet is to manually enter them or create a SQL script to create your additional categories. Doesn't sound like that many, and once they're done they're done. :smile:

Make sure you have a good backup of your database before you experiment!!

Anyone already have a script? We are talking a few hundred catagories in all.

You could try EZ Populate.
