Hi Pugdog,

- is your Multi_Categories-plugin also working with the latest G-Links 3.0.2 version ?
- is it working smoothly or will I run in any problems ?
- in your demo: if a root-category already exists and I want to put several sub-categories underneath, where and how do I put in the 'Category Of' (the name of the already existing root-category) ?
- I do have the Multi-Language-Plugin (english and german) installed. Will this work for both languages ? Will this work in one step or in two steps ? Do I need two plugins for this ?


I am not a programmer, so please help.


Many thanks,

Erich

Hi,

Its actually mine


Yes, it should be fine with GLinks 3.0+


It should all run smoothly (someone used it a few days ago, on 3.0.1).


I'm not 100% sure what your asking. Are you trying to create sub-categories? If you are, then it will do it for you :)

My_Category/Sub_Folder/Another_Area/Test:::This is a test description:::This would be your Meta_Description:::This,would,be,your,meta,keywords

If none of the below categories, existed... it would automatically make;

My_Category
My_Category/Sub_Folder
My_Category/Sub_Folder/Another_Area/


Mmm... so you have different names, in different languages.. for the same categories?

Cheers

Lets say my category and its subcategory is already existing like (my search-engine is related to the tourism):

Summer/Province1 (this is already in my database).

now I want to have:

Summer/Province1/Hotel/Hotel5stars
Summer/Province1/Hotel/Hotel4stars
Summer/Province1/Hotel/Hotel3stars

so how do I tell the system that it does not need to create the categories "Summer/Province1" again because it is already existing ?

yes, I am creating a new category I then I put in a category-name in english and in german-language.


3)

I would like to have your plugin installed by Gossamer-staff on my server ? Is this possible ?



Many thanks for help,

Erich

Hi,


The plugin will only create the categories that don't exist. If a sub-category already exists, it won't re-create it :)


Ok, you should be able to do this. Its a bit more complicated though. For example, it would need to be like;

My_Category/Sub_Folder/Another_Area/Test:::This is a test description:::This would be your Meta_Description:::This,would,be,your,meta,keywords:::(GermanDesc|This is the german description:::SpanishDesc|This is the spanish description)

Basically, anything in the () part can be a custom field (in the above example, GermanDesc and SpanishDesc).


Sure thing. Its not a very hard plugin to install though <G>

- but will the plugin be able to create a subcategory and sub-subcategory if the root-category like for example "Summer" is already existing ?
- if I understand correctly, I will need to tell the plugin also the existing root-category like: "Summer" if I want to have a tree like "Summer/Province1/Hotel/Hotel5stars"

are you talking about the category-name or the category-description ?
I actually do not need a category-description. I just need the category-name to be in english and in german-language.
Do I need to create a custom-filed somewhere ?


Sorry for my stupid questions, but i am not a programmer.

Many thanks,

Erich

Hi,


It does *everything* for you =) (if a category exists, it will just skip it... and carry on with the list).


You can do it with any field :)

My_Category/Sub_Folder/Another_Area/Test:::This is a test description:::This would be your Meta_Description:::This,would,be,your,meta,keywords:::(GermanName|German Title:::SpanishName|Spanish Title)

Hope that helps.
