[SOLVED] 1 error product must be in the default category

[IBICO]

After I upgraded I get this message when going in to a product and try to change text or other and then press save.

what could it be?

It seems that this is a bug of PrestaShop 1.3.2, please see below thread for a solution.

It's not a bug, but a feature that was added to v1.3.2. In PrestaShop v1.3.1, you were able to set the "Default category" to a category the product wasn't actually in, which caused problems in some modules. In v1.3.2, the default category must be a category the product is actually in. If you try to set the default category to "Home", but the product isn't a featured product, you will get that error message. You must change the default category from "Home" to any of the categories the product is in.

Yeah.. This is lot better. now that I know what to look for when I edit. This would also maybe make the webshop work better without delay since bug in codes might slow or disable your shop. Still got lot of loading time for my webshop, but after checking my products one, by one I found lot of things like this I have to correct. Lot of work, but I guess the result would be an improved shop.

Maybe anyone know, which files i need upload from 1.3.3v to 1.3.2v fix this bug?? I don't want do the update...Please help!

It's not a bug. You must set the "Default category" to a category the product is in, then the message will go away. Upgrading to PrestaShop v1.3.3 will make no difference.

Here is an solution:

check your admin folder / tabs and AdminProducts.php file. Open it and find this code:

 

if (!is_array(Tools::getValue('categoryBox')) OR !in_array(Tools::getValue('id_category_default'), Tools::getValue('categoryBox')))

$this->_errors[] = $this->l('product must be in the default category');

 

 

Just delete it...

And its working yet...

 

If you dont wanna see this message:

Consider changing the default category

 

only find this part of code:

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function() {

$(\'div#categoryList input.categoryBox\').click(function (){

if ($(this).is(\':not(:checked)\') && $(\'div#categoryList input.id_category_default\').val() == $(this).val())

alert(\''.utf8_encode(html_entity_decode($this->l('Consider changing the default category.'))).'\');

});

});

</script>

 

 

and just delete it.

 

And thats all..

 

 

 

 

Thank you, i found solution...

Sorry for being so stupid, but I do not understand a word that you say. I just copied a product of one certain category and filled in the new texts and images and so on and saved it under a new name, and everything is fine. Then I did the same with the second product and bam: "product must be in the default category". The product is in the correct category, the one it is supposed to be in. What is this about?
