Hi Everyone,

Just wondering how (or if it's possible) to Move a Root Category (& Sub categories under it) to a Sub Category.

IE:

Currently:
-Category 1
--Sub 1
--Sub 2
-Category 2

Proposed:
-Category 2
--Category 1
---Sub 1
---Sub 2


Thanks in Advance!

Hi!

Sorry, but there is no way to move categories in X-Cart 5 at the moment. You can create new category structure and then remove old ones in order to achieve needed result.

Hi,

If you OK with doing some hacks, this may help you.

NOTE: these hacks may crash your website. So, please CREATE A BACKUP of your site and TRY THE HACKS ON A LOCAL COPY of your website before uploading changes to your "live" server.

1. Use PHPMyAdmin or the MySQL console and search the xc_categories table for the category where you want to move other categories into. Remember its id.

2. In the xc_categories table, update categories which you want to move and set their parent_id to the id of the category from the 1st step.

3. Create and run (from the SSH console, or from your browser) the following script from the directory where X-Cart is installed:

<?php
require_once (dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'top.inc.php');

\XLite\Core\Database::getRepo('XLite\Model\Category')->correctCategoriesStructure();

Works a Treat!
