Hello David,
Is there any possibility of bulk insert of subcategories to a Category at Categories Hierarchy?
Cheers
Steve
Hi Steve,
A "Bulk-Add" page with a textarea for entry of multiple sub-categories (one per line) is straight forward to implement. First edit admin/categories_hierarchy.php and look for the following code at line 118:
admin_tool("New","JavaScript:ch_add_onClick(".$node["id"].")",TRUE,TRUE);
...and REPLACE with:
admin_tool("New","JavaScript:ch_add_onClick(".$node["id"].")",TRUE,TRUE); admin_tool("New-Bulk","categories_hierarchy_newbulk.php?id=".$node["id"],TRUE,TRUE);
Then create the new script admin/categories_hierarchy_newbulk.php as below:
<?php require("../includes/common.php"); $admin_checkPassword = TRUE; require("../includes/admin.php"); require("../includes/widget.php"); function getCategoryPath($id) { global $config_databaseTablePrefix; $categories = array(); do { $sql = "SELECT name,parent FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."categories_hierarchy` WHERE id = '".$id."'"; database_querySelect($sql,$rows); array_unshift($categories,$rows[0]["name"]); } while($id = $rows[0]["parent"]); return implode(" / ",$categories); } $id = $_GET["id"]; $sql = "SELECT * FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."categories_hierarchy` WHERE id='".database_safe($id)."'"; database_querySelect($sql,$rows); $category = $rows[0]; $submit = (isset($_POST["submit"])?$_POST["submit"]:""); if ($submit == "Save") { if ($_POST["subcategories"]) { $subcategories = explode("\n",$_POST["subcategories"]); foreach($subcategories as $subcategory) { $subcategory = trim($subcategory); if ($subcategory) { $sql = "SELECT id FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."categories_hierarchy` WHERE name='".database_safe($subcategory)."' AND parent='".database_safe($id)."'"; if (!database_querySelect($sql,$rows)) { $sql = "INSERT INTO `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."categories_hierarchy` SET name='".database_safe($subcategory)."',parent='".database_safe($id)."'"; database_queryModify($sql,$result); } } } } header("Location: categories_hierarchy.php"); exit(); } require("admin_header.php"); print "<h2>".translate("Category Hierarchy Mapping")."</h2>"; print "<h3>".translate("New Subcategories")." (".getCategoryPath($category["id"]).")</h3>"; print "<div class='row'>"; print "<div class='small-6 columns'>"; widget_formBegin(); widget_textArea("Subcategories","subcategories",FALSE,"",200,12); widget_formButtons(array("Save"=>TRUE),"categories_hierarchy.php"); widget_formEnd(); print "</div>"; print "</div>"; require("admin_footer.php");?>
Hope this helps!
