bos Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 When browsing in Admin -> Categories, only the top level categories are shown. I can't even find how to change a sub category.Is there a way to enable showing the subcategories as well, preferably in a structured tree or something?

Dirty Butter Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 What version of CC are you on? Assuming it's 5 or up - the names of categories with subcategories are links. Click on the category and the list of subcategories will show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bos Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 CC v6, as the subject suggests.I found the links shortly after posting (of course...) but I find those horribly inefficient. For now I have just got ~6 categories, but later on I will have around 100-200 including subs. Clicking around everyone and everywhere just to find a sub feels like tedious work. Is there not a plugin or anything that shows them all in a structured tree for easy re-arrangement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Sorry - didn't pay enough attention to your title.So you have in mind to be able see the whole category structure at once - and then to move subcategories around among categories by sliding, rather than changing the parent structure?I would GUESS that showing the whole category tree at once is relatively easy to do, by editing core files and/or css layout.Since the categories will slide, perhaps sliding subcategories around is doable, but I suspect, more difficult.

The current functionality suits most people but curious to know how having a huge list displayed could be more efficientIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bos Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Alright, point taken.But consider this, a real life problem; 100 existing categories (lots of subs). I'm looking for a particular category to see if it exists. If not, I want to add it.How do you find (or not)? Clicking through 100 categories? Time consuming. A huge list would allow me to Ctrl+F, or similiar, to find it immediately (given it exists). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Something like View All on Manufacturers then, but clicking on one gives you its parent/child relationship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
