Multiple categories

[schatham]

I'm using Easy Populate to populate my store.

 

In it, we have a number of items that would have appeal by being in the category it's in, but could also benefit from being in a 2nd category.

 

For instance - we have a number of sauces on our website, that are not only barbecue sauces, but they're also regional/local.

 

Is there a way to have a product showing up in a Sauces category, but also in a "North Carolina" category, for someone who's looking for something that would have a regional/local appeal? Too, I have cookbooks & items by nationally known folks, but also have a section of items by a person who's local & a family friend.

 

It's just in testing now, so if someone would like to see it, here's the link:

 

http://www.riverhousegiftandgourmet.com/shop

 

Along the left hand side, where I have Cookbooks, Seasonings & Mixes and Sauces, I'd like to have another one that says "North Carolina Products" but have any number of these items in the list that I'd tag in some way to appear under that heading too. I was thinking that item number had to be unique, but dont know how to make it show up under 2 different catalogs/categories.

 

 

Any help appreciated.

in admin, go to your categories and create a new category called 'north carolina'. Find the product you wish to put in that category and click on it to higlight it. click the copy to button on the right hand side of screen and choose 'north carolina' from the drop down menu. Then choose 'link product' hey presto, the product will appear in both categories.

Is there a way to do this within the spreadsheet that I upload?

 

Or is there a way to do this in batches, since some categories would have everything in it in both sections, while others may have only a handful of items from another category.
