Importing categories and subcategories..

[fearanloath]

ok..   let me start off saying the following comment:

 

AAAAAAARGHHH!!!!

 

 

ok.. now that out of my system. This importing it getting om my nerves! Spending all day trying to import the follow simple csv:

 

code for categories:

id;category_parent_id;name
2;1;Dekk og Felg
3;1;Tuning & Bilsport
4;1;Styling

 

code for subcategories:

id;category_parent_id;name

16;4;Chrysler
17;4;Citroen
18;4;Fiat
19;4;Ford
20;4;Honda

 

I really cant see what im doing wrong here. This should be the easiest code to import ever!

 

All im getting is "The ID category cannot be the same as the ID Root category or the ID Home category." every friggin time!

 

Are there some database gurus there seeing what im doing wrong here?

Welcome fearanloath. In the default Prestashop setup, category ids 1 & 2 are used for Root and Home respectively. Try starting your category numbers from 3 instead of 2.

Some deep breathing may also help ...

Cheers, Dave

Edit: and make the parent category 2 not 1
