mtporter Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 On the product screen/edit, what is the difference between the Associated categories (the ones created in PS) and the Default category. The shop I have has a OpenERP connector that 'created' a default category. Would the reason for the Default category be for the sole purpose when using accounting software to sync with?

PSfever.com Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Associated categories - all categories, in which you will find this product. Here's what the official PS guide has to say about Default category. The "Default category" selector is useful when an article is filed under several categories. It serves mainly to clarify which category to use in case your customer arrives at your site from a search engine, since the name of the category will appear in the product's URL.

vekia Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 default category will also appear in breadcrumbs this is something like "main" category of product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtporter Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 So the default category has no bearing or importance to 3rd party accounting software like Quicken or OpenERP? Oh, I click on your link for free tutorials, etc., and the link did not open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtporter Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Are there any answers to my inquiry above? Does the default category or would the default category 'mess' up the sync if changed if the PS is tied into a connector for a 3rd party software such as Quickbooks or OpenERP?

PSfever.com Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Well, I think it all depends on how the module is written..I have never worked with Quickbooks or OpenERP, so I don't know what their files look like, but it would only make sense to export the default category. Ask the authors of the module, they will surely know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
