[SOLVED]Installed huge categories list and Blockcategories disappeared on FO

[Davidh]

Hi, my site PS1.3.2 was working perfectly. I imported a large categories CSV file and the FO block in Left Column has disappeared.
The categories installed in the back office. I sell printer cartridges so I have a huge list of printers set up as categories and sub categories (about 3700). I uninstalled the module and reinstalled it and nothing in FO. .

Any help appreciated. My site is www.aftermarketcartridges.com

I guess there might be some error occurred during loading category data, such as running out of memory.
Please try to set 'display_errors' to 'on' as below at /config/config.inc.php to see if there is error there.

ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

(don't forget to set it back when you are done with it)

Hi Shokinro, added code to bottom of config.inc.php file and nothing shows. Where would it display an error if there was one? I tried to transfer categories block to right column and back to left. Still can't see it. Anyone have suggestions - I'm dead in the water.

I can see the categories on the left side now, It seems that you have solved the problem. How did you fixed it?

added code to bottom of config.inc.php

By the way the below line should already exist on the top of config.inc.php. You don't have to add a new line. You only have to change it. Please change it back when you have done the trouble shooting. :-)

ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

And the error should displayed on the top of your page if there is any.

If your problem is solved, please also mark this thread as solved by adding "SOLVED" to the beginning of subject of your first post.

Hi Shokinro,

The problem was that my CSV file was redefining the default "Home' category in PS when I tried to upload. I must have done it several times because I had 3 Home categories. Anyway, I deleted all categories and restored the MYSQL database to match the default entry in my other PS store. Used the MYSQL editor in Cpanel on my hosting site.

Seemed to work because it came back. Whew. Thanks for your input and help. I'll mark this solved.

I am glad you fixed the problem and thanks for sharing the information.
