pnoble Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hello All, I have tried to find this answer but maybe too basic for this section. Basically I have OSCommerce default site working but I now want to add new products. There are three languages by default but I have some problems. I found the posting giving the database default structure but I dont want to waste weeks on end doing data entry the wrong way by updating linked tables all over the place. The questions.. What is the best way to enter new products and categotriesi.e. do I have to go to phpmyadmin , remove all the existing ones and one by one add new categories. Then go to categories_description table and enter in there. Then upload file picture to relevant ftp folder. I did this for a sample category and got it to show on my site but when I click the german language icon all the text in the site changed but my new cataegory was not in the german page at all. I went in to the categories_description table and manually added a record with the relevant language_id. When I switched from english to german the new category was in the german page but Because I dont speak german I could only add the english word which isnt ideal. If I need to be able to translate the whole product range and description maybe I should just remove language id 2 and 3 ?? Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help Hi Paul, I went to www.mysite.com/admin, clicked on catalog, removed the default products one by one and inserted my own products & catagories and uploaded pics from my documents folder in one click, had to do it one by one. there is probably a much better/easier way but it worked for me and thats a miracle with my limited knowledge :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
