[Multistore] Adding category to 1 shopgroup/shop only through category object

[venditdevs]

Hi everyone,

​I'm pulling my hair out right now.
​
We are integrating multistore in our module that connects our POS system to Prestashop.
​We want to add categories through import. That is working BUT ...all categories are added to ALL shops instead of the id_shop we are importing into. 

​Does any of you know how we can manage that through the category object?  The AdminCategoryController doesn't answer my questions

​With best regards,
Vincent

Are you using the $id_shop parameter when creating the Category object? For example:

$category = new Category($id_category, $id_lang, $id_shop);

*facepalm* Rocky, you saved my day. I was looking for a way to add them to multiple shops at once so i forgot all about the obvious. I'm writing a workaround for adding the categories to the shared shops in a group.

​Thanks for getting me back on the right track!

I'm happy to help.

Update: it's working for existing categories but for new categories it's adding them to all shops regardless if the id_shop is set.

 

Update2: Never mind, i'm going to get really drunk now.

Strange. I guess you'll have to write a query to delete the categories from unwanted shops after adding them.
