shrek2 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I have created a VB program to upload products into my commerce database. I find the category from the categories_description table, and use this to populate the products, and associated tables. Everything has been running fine for about a month. I have come to add another category using the oscommerce admin program. It looked a bit strange as the current categories didn't have any products associated to them (the actual website works fine displaying all products). When I created the new category, and looked at the database, all of the old categories had a new value in the categories_id field. Old values for the categories_id field were between 25 and 39 (numbers 1 - 24 had been used, and deleted while testing my site). These values now started from 1 and went upto 9. My new category had an id of 40. Hope this is clear... Does anyone know why commerce would change these values? Thanks.
Guest Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Maybe it was your VB program. Why don't you try using Easy Populate. It takes care of all the categories and products. Search the addons for it.
