Product categories question

Hello,

Your request is interesting and might be added into HikaMarket as an hidden option.
Since it is maybe too specific and could require more settings/restrictions to be really flexible for HikaMarket users, I don't that as a classical option.
Since HikaMarket do propose the "vendor root" and authorize the vendors to do what they want under that category (even create categories), having such kind of restriction would be complicated for the vendors and could generate unwanted side effects.
Now if you do not have "vendor root" or if you do allow "extra categories", such kind of restriction is clearly good since your category structure won't change like that (and you can use mass-action if one category is no more a leaf one).
I started to work on an implementation, which should be include in the next release.

Afterwards, if you want to have a specific control on product ; you can still use the HIkaShop triggers (onBeforeProductCreate / onBeforeProductUpdate) in order to add you own restrictions and limitations.

Thanks to the API (which is also triggered by HikaMarket), you can have your own algorithm and also make the difference between the front-end and the backend (admin / vendor).

Hello,

The reference of the mass-action was mostly the fact that if you add a sub-category in the backend, you can use a mass-action to move all the products in the category to a new leaf one.

The implementation will refuse every "new" category which is not a leaf one, for the product creation or update.

Hello,

A "custom plugin" is a plugin that you develop yourself or via a developer. It requires some development/PHP skills to create such kind of plugin.
And, that old thread was 4 years old ; my previous message is less than 2 days.
I'm not sure why you try to find other solutions when I give you already a "fresh" answer.

Hello,

The implementation is done in HikaMarket and will be include in the next release.
We don't have any precise estimation date for that release, we still have some developments and receiving feedback regarding the last version.
