i have a feed and it has hundreds of categories and i only want a few , is there an easy way to drop must of these categories instead of doing it one by one in the filter section??
Hello,
after import I see that some categories are empty or not working (because of the feed). Is there a way to remove them from public side? Can I perform this through category mapping or filter? I need something like:
if category = 123456 then remove/hide
Thanks!
Hi,
The easiest that would not require on-going code modifications would be to create a category mapping with a master category name of "DELETEME", and then in the alternatives box enter the names of all the categories that you wish to remove from your site.
Then, in includes/admin.php, look for the following comment around line 236:
/* apply product mappings */(this is immediately AFTER the category mapping section)
...and REPLACE with:
if ($importRecord["category"] == "DELETEME") $importRecord["category"] = "";
/* apply product mappings */Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
Hi Jonny,
Check the code for a new filter (Drop Record If NOT RegExp) in this thread:

...you can register that new filter against the category field, and then use a RegExp (regular expression) like this to drop all except the few categories you want...
(Category1|Category2|Category3)Cheers,
David.
