Feeds table question concerning fields: user_category and field_category

Submitted by dthardy on Sun, 2006-07-16 14:50 in

What is the difference between the user_category and field_category? What are they both used for and why are they both important?

Thanks for helping us understand the application.

Hi,

field_category, if set, holds the name of the field in the feed that you have registered against the product category, just like field_name holds the value registered against the product name.

However, you will notice from the feed registration form that you can also specify your own category instead of using a value from the feed. If you do this, the category name you enter is stored in user_category.

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
