 Hello, I am trying to figure out how to assign categories when adding new product. Thanks
Re: Assigning categories when adding new product
you mean go to /admin categories and enter some for product?   
Re: Assigning categories when adding new product
You have to create some categories before you can put products in them. In "Content management" under the "Administer" section is a link the Category administration. Add terms to the Product Catalog, and then you will see a select box in the product edit forms.
Re: Re: Assigning categories when adding new product
You know... it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to find or use a module that lets you add a new term on the fly like this... that really makes a lot of sense for tedious product entry.  
Maybe NAT module can work in
Maybe NAT module can work in this case.
Re: Maybe NAT module can work in
Maybe... it's automatically creating a term for every node, though, and we'd really just want it to be optional when selecting a term from the list.
Re: Re: Maybe NAT module can work in
You could enable "free-tagging" for the product catalog. You would have to move the terms around to make a hierarchical directory structure afterwards, though. That might be slightly better than having to make the categories first.
Re: Re: Re: Maybe NAT module can work in
Nah, you need the hierarchy, especially subcategories may have the same name. I envision a simple collapsible fieldset that lets you specify a parent term, a name, and a weight (default:0) to create a new category for the field. I'm not saying this should be built into the product module... might be worth being its own module that other sites and projects can use. There may already be something like this.
Re: Assigning categories when adding new product
Thanks for all your replies. I have a fully defined catalog in the database. My problem was when adding a new product there was no select box for assigning the category where the product belongs. Thanks
CATEGORY OR CLASS?
guys I cannot find this link into the administration section of the content management. Said that I have to install UBERCART Store onto my drupal. for this reason I see by UBERCART guide CLASSES act same way of categories. Classess have to be assigned to a product instead categories. Please if someone can hel in this. O personelly found ubercart guide or documentation quite poor on this terms. thanks |
