Copy a Category?

Post by andy » Fri Aug 28, 2009 6:43 am

in 5.5 you could copy and rename an entire category. How can you do this in 7?

Thanks,
Andy

On merchant side go to catalog and notice icons next to category names, holding mouse on these icons will bring tooltip one of them is copy command use that to duplicate categories.

mazhar, can you send a screen shot? I looked at this last week and my screen shows only Preview, visibility, edit, move, delete.

Opps sorry I missed, in fact copy command is only available on products not available for categories. Thanks for correction Judy.

It might have been available in Able 7 originally. For some reason, I'm thinking that it was and that it had the same problem as in Able 5- if the products in a category have options, it didn't copy the options. I looked in source code for a couple of Able 7 builds and couldn't find it, though. Only webpages, products, links.
