I'm not using all the fields right now	Can't Post

Hi Andy Pugdog :)

Just wondering as i'm trying to add multiple categories at the same time, but i'm not using all the fields right now, so trying to adding the categories like this:

Aquariums:::Birds::: ::: ::: ::: ::: :::animals.html

gives me an error and using this format:

Aquariums:::Birds:::animals.html

write the template name under the category description, i was also trying to use a blank character between ::: and doesn't work.

Any clues?.. thanks in advance

I'm still looking and i'm getting closer to make it work. I install the ppc plugin for Alex (mycgiscripts) and i think that move some stuff on the categories db.

However the only think i missing when i add a category it's the template name, any idea why?

Thanks in advance, and hopefully this plugins integration will work fine ;)

Also... to add a sub category like this one:

Animals:Dogs:Recreation and Parks

it must be like:
Recreation and Parks:::Animals:Dogs:::::::::... ?

:(

Which version of Multi_Categories are you using? Version 2 is available from the download area now.

Also, it should be ::: seperating the values, i.e.

Animals:::Dogs:::Recreation_and_Parks

Hi. Unfortunatly you can't do this by default, but a simple modification will let you add template sets for categories;

In /admin/Plugins/Multi_Categories.pm, replace;

Code

      $DB->table('Category')->update( { Description => $description, Meta_Description => $meta_description, Meta_Keywords => $meta_keywords }, { Full_Name => $cat_name } );

with...

Code

      $DB->table('Category')->update( { Description => $description, Meta_Description => $meta_description, Meta_Keywords => $meta_keywords, Category_Template => $category_template }, { Full_Name => $cat_name } );

...and;

Code

my ($cat_name,$description,$meta_description,$meta_keywords) = split /:::/, $_;

...with;

Code

my ($cat_name,$description,$meta_description,$meta_keywords,$category_template) = split /:::/, $_;

You would then use something like;

/my/full_cat/name:::description:::meta_description:::meta_keywords:::templateset

Let me know how that works for you :)

Just for the records.... the final code was:

In /admin/Plugins/Multi_Categories.pm, replace;

Code

       $DB->table('Category')->update( { Description => $description, Meta_Description => $meta_description, Meta_Keywords => $meta_keywords }, { Full_Name => $cat_name } );

with...

Code

       $DB->table('Category')->update( { Description => $description, Meta_Description => $meta_description, Meta_Keywords => $meta_keywords, Category_Template => $category_template }, { Full_Name => $cat_name } );

...and;

Code

 my ($cat_name,$description,$meta_description,$meta_keywords) = split /:::/, $_;

...with;

Code

 my ($cat_name,$description,$meta_description,$meta_keywords,$category_template) = split /:::/, $_;

This it's the code that works. :)

Again, thanks Andy
