BimmerExchange Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hello Everyone! First post here! So I'm setting up an automotive online store. Categories are organized as the following: Search By Make > Nissan > 2014 > GTR > (and now with multiple sub-categories) - Brakes - Exhaust - Interior - Suspension, etc etc. The sub-category group (- Brakes - Exhaust - Interior - Suspension, etc etc.) is going to be the same on all models. I have well over 2,000 so going in one by one is suicide. Is there any way I can have a CSV import that group of sub-categories to weave with each specific model? MySQL database? Plugins? Anything? Thank you for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Unfortunately, a category can only have one single parent It would be an even worse suicide to try to change the whole system. You might want to use features or attributes instead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to use features or attributes instead Thank you for your quick reply Nemo, Last question I promise. You know when you import a CSV file for the categories and it asks for which "Parent Category" it's supposed to go into? Is there a way to use an ID for that category instead of the categories name? Or maybe define it's relative path? I ask because I did do an import as a test and it worked, however, it only worked for some of them. This is because some of the models have the same name. It can be something generic like "sport" or "luxury," it only applies to the first one on the list and ignores the rest. Thank you once again Edited June 8, 2015 by BimmerExchange (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
