[ic] Subcategory Help?

[Gina K. Anderson]

Hi John,

Thanks for helping! Few more questions:

|So after you make any changes or additions to the area
|& cat database you must make sure you have
|exprted the db files.
|click the update button at the bottom of the page
|making sure the auto-export is clicked.

I'm adding categories and subcategories in the "Design" area. I see an "Apply
Changes" at the bottom of each UI page (And I have "Change Area" and "Change
Category"), but I can't find where to check Auto-Export--sorry for all the dumb
questions :/ This is version 4.6.0, don't know if there is a difference between
the newest release and this one?


|The fix for this is as follows:


I tried your instructions, and here I did see the check box for "Auto Export",
so I made sure that was done.

However, I have only one "Food" category that shows up in the Item category drop
down list, it doesn't show "Dog_Food" or "Cat_Food". In the Cat table, the
selectors for these particular categories say:

category=Dog_Food
category=Cat_Food

But they don't show up in the category drop down list in the add item UI, just
as "Food"

So I'm still not sure how to separate the items into their correct categories. I
added a dog food item, and just selected "Food" as the category, hoping it would
lead me to something else, but nothing else happened. I have this on the left
side in the demo store:

Dog Products
	-Food

Cat products
	-Food

and if I click on either food, I see:

"Sorry, no matches for Dog_Food" (or "Cat_Food" depends on which "Food" I click
:)

So even though an item *is* in the Food category, it doesn't get displayed in
the demo store.

Any further advice?
