[1.2] Add Product To Category

[m.vantloo]

Hello,

 

We recently bought a webshop and that is still running at PS 1.2.4.

Yes, I know..... time to upgrade, but that is quiet a process.

 

In a home-brewed piece of code, a product is deactivated. But in stead of deactivation, I want to add the product to an category.

 

It's very difficult to find doc's about version 1.2, so hopefully somebody over here can help me.

 

Current piece of code:

 

function proccess($settings, $product_id){

   $product = new Product(intval($product_id));

   $product->active = floatval($settings['0']);

   $product->update();

   Hook::updateProduct($product);

   Search::indexation(false);

}

 

So in stead of $product->active = floatval($settings['0']);

I'm looking at something like $product->category = 123;

 

Can anyone help me with this?

 

Thanks in advance.

By reading code of several modules, I found a way to add a category by using MySQL's INSERT command.
