It's very easy to set up parent categories but how exactly are child categories created and displayed within the schema?....or does this only handle parent category import? Your comments would be much appreciated.
Sub-categories are something that I would have liked to support through Price Tapestry but it turns out that there just isn't the quality of data available in order to support it, and this would leave most users dissatisfied with the results.
One thing you can do, and several users have done this, is to setup multiple installations of Price Tapestry within sub-directories of your site, and then create a master search form on the top level that has a drop down box to select the master category. There's instructions for doing this in the following thread:
