products AND categories (subcategories)

"While this can be done temporarily to build your Categories ... Categories hold either Products or Categories but never both!"

I cannot add any subcategories (since there's no button for it anymore in the admin) and if I copy/move folder it gives weird error.. And why is it so?!

Re: products AND categories (subcategories)

What did you add to your zen cart that took away the buttons?

Have you updated to Zen Cart 1.3.7.1?

Re: products AND categories (subcategories)

I am using the current version and I think that there is no "new category" button in there by default anymore... I mean what I need is SUBcategories like

  1. tshirts
    1.a wmen's ts
    1.a men's ts
  2. jackets

AND I'd need to list products for the t shirts category as well.. get my point?

Re: products AND categories (subcategories)

You could manually add a Category if you have moofed things up ...

Do you have any Categories in the categories and categories_description tables if you look via your phpMyAdmin that comes with your Control Panel for your domain?

Re: products AND categories (subcategories)

Searches break ...

Sorts break ...

Navigation breaks ...

Math breaks ...

Other than that, not much goes wrong ... :eek:

Go ahead and force use them mixed ... what's the worse that happens? Give away the shop for free on a random basis and not know how to repeat the pattern of the error or some other such fun depending on how you are setup, browse, press buttons ... :lamo:

Re: products AND categories (subcategories)

Anyone who mixes Categories and Products in the Categories will be very, very sad somewhere in the next hour to 6 months ... :cry:
