Multiple subcategory

[cczernia]

I was wondering if anyone knew an easy way to copy a subcategory so that it appears under two categories.

 

Example:

 

I currently have: clothing hangers/apparel sizing

I want to create: clothing display/apparel sizing

 

The only way I know to do this is to create the subcategory under both categories and then link each individual item.

Thanks a ton. I tried uploading the files and got this error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/triodisp/public_html/ecommerce/os/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/categories.php on line 101

 

I checked the permissions and they seemed ok. Any suggestions. Thanks again.

Looks like the "edits" you did on /home/triodisp/public_html/ecommerce/os/catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/categories.php did not work to well.

 

Post a few line before and after line 101.

 

Also, do not use the osCommerce file manager editor to edit files...it has a bug that can cause parse errors. It strips backslashes from words like What\'s (escaping single quote). Use a local editor on your PC then ftp to the site.

Ok, I didn't use osC for editing. I tried just uploading the files, I uploaded them with changes from "install.txt" and I tried adding a line before and after line 101 but I keep getting the same error.

 

You said something about my edits on ..english/categories.php but I'm not sure which edits you are talking about.

 

Thanks again.

Ah, got it. Here is line 101

 

define('TEXT_COPY', 'Copy <b>%s</b> to:');

 

It appears just before the comment on the bottom. It is worth noting that I brought the code up in Dreamweaver MX and most of the code that appeared between the parenthesis would the in all red but on line 101 the text was black so I can see that even Dreamweaver is detecting a syntax error I'm just not sure how to fix it. Thanks again.

Change

 

define('TEXT_COPY_CATEGORIES_INTRO', 'Please select which category you wish <b>%s</b> to copy to'');

 

to

 

define('TEXT_COPY_CATEGORIES_INTRO', 'Please select which category you wish <b>%s</b> to copy to');

Thanks. It worked perfectly. Just out of curiosity do you know how to update the "contributions" so it no longer has the error.
