OpenCart Community

I have over 4000 products and they all have related products. It will take forever to go through each product one by one and add related products. Is there a faster way to do this?

I just mentioned to someone a few days ago that there should be an option to add "Related Categories", as I think many people are wanting this.

I was also wondering if we can make our drop down lists collapsible so we can keep them short and not too long.

use phpmyadmin and add the related products striaght to database
you should be able to do all with one query

Where would we learn to do something like that?

phpmyadmin doesn't come with instructions, and neither does opencart.

There are several mods in the extension store to do this sort of thing.

i just learned how to migrate my site from cubecart to opencart using phpmyadmin and sql queries
i learnt all and done it in a few hours and saved my self at least $200
and now know how i can do a lot more very quickly
all you will be doing is transferring data from one table to another
literally 1-a few commands depending on structure of tables and data being transferred

w3schools is good for reference but i found any questions i had were usually answered at stackoverflow in past questions by others

but there is also this other site i used i found really helpful, i not sure if many people of heard of it but its where i started my search when i wanted to find out things, the site is really good too you just simply type in a few relevant words and up pops lots of links to other websites, i think it was called goggle or giggle something like that
