limit products to 1 category was created by christofu

Hi,

can a product be limited to 1 category?

i.e. when someone adds a product they only have the option of adding it to a singular category?

thanks

Hi,

For your HikaMarket questions, please use the HikaMarket forum section.

There is no restriction on the number of categories a product can have but you can create it manually.
In the "productmarket | form" view of HikaMarket, you will find the line

Code:

echo $this->categoryType->displayMultiple('data[product][categories]', @$this->product->categories, '', $this->rootCategory);

If you are replacing by

Code:

$cat = 0;
if(!empty($this->product->categories)) {
   $cats = array_keys($this->product->categories);
   $cat = reset($cats);
}
echo $this->categoryType->displayMultiple('data[product][categories]', @$this->product->categories, '', $this->rootCategory);

And it will display just one category (the first one).

Hi Jerome,

is there an easy way of only allowing one category to be entered into the category form - I understand the above code will just take the first category entered?

I think will get confused if they are still able to enter multiple categories.

(plz feel free to move this to its correct category or I can restart this in the hikamarket area)

thanks

Hi,

Well, you can call the function "displaySingle" instead of the function "displayMultiple", but at this moment you will have to change the input name to "data[product][categories][]" otherwise the rest of the HikaMarket code won't appreciate.
