Dropdown Menu in admin area does not show all categories.

Post by Cyganek » Sat Nov 15, 2014 6:19 am

Hello guys I hope you can help me out since I am not able to track down this problem:

I am in my admin area, specifically at the products section where you can assign your products to specific categories.

My problem is, that the category dropdown menu shows 5 categories only, even though I have hundreds in my database. My list elements in the category dropdown have the data-values of 5,3,6,7,4. It seems odd and really random to me that only five categories and only these 5 are displayed in my admin dropdown. I wonder why it stops at the value of 5 and doesnt keep going.
They are displayed correctly in the shop itself. It is only the backend that makes problems.

I tried to track the problem down and checked several files.

I am pretty sure that it should be generated in:
admin\view\template\catalog\product_form.tpl

Somewhere between line 338-342.
But there is no generation of <ul> or <li> tags so I really wonder where the list is generated as I tried to fix the problem myself.

Hi, I read everything that was said about this problem but I still can't resolve it.
I can see only five categories / sub-categories and even when I start typing name of a category it seems that the subcategories are not there at all.

I can't see any of the subcategories in Adult Bikes - Screen Shot 2014-11-26 at 13.19.50.png (19.48 KiB) Viewed 14569 times

How can I add a product to a sub-category when the drop down menu in product / edit products / links / categories doesn't show me all of the categories and sub-categories.

I am updating the website at present and you can see what I've done so far at http://www.bikes.omahome.co.uk

I've just posted a question in this forum but I found a solution to the problem.

The drop down menu in products/edit product/links/categories really shows only five categories / sub-categories at random. If you want to choose a sub-category start typing the name and the autocomplete will show you all available options.

              <td><input type="text" name="category" value="" />
	      
	      <select id="autoinsert_cat" onchange="autocat_insert(this)">
		<option value="">=select to insert=</option>
		 <? for($c=0,$cz=sizeof($select_cat); $c<$cz; $c++){ ?>
			<option value="<?=$select_cat[$c][category_id]?>"><?=$select_cat[$c][name]?></option>
		<? } ?>
	      </select>
	      </td>
