Database structure of Categories

Hi!

I am importing Categories from another shopping cart.

I have hundreds of Categories in the database, but nothing showing in my shop.

What is the deal with the Top category, I see a lot of my imported items pointing to Category 0 as the parent.

So, just creating a Category 0 should be enough?

Thanks!

Yes, it should be. Having a parent_id of 0 makes it a sort of "root" category (that is, it's not a subcategory).

If you're having problems I'd check category_to_store first. If the category isn't assigned to an active store_id it won't show up.

Thanks, Ryan.

That did work.

Best,
Ken
