mass action of all products in a given category

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.5
-- PHP version -- : 5.6

Hi Supportteam,

Please help me!

I have the desire to complement the value of a field with additional data.
In this case it's the name of the product where I want to put some extra before the name.

"Old White" must be come "Chalk Paint Old White" ,
"Olive" must be come "Chalk Paint Olive" and so on.
I have 300+ product so I like to do it in a mass action.

But there are two things that I can't figure out.
1: I can't find a filter where you can select only products that belong to a specific category.
Also in the database I can't find a category field where the products belongs to.
2: There is no option to concatenate a field. (I know this would be too complicated, so this is no wish

So I want to know if I'm right that you can't filter products that belong to a specific category.

Maybe there is an SQL query to do this. But I come no further than this.

SELECT product_name
FROM xxx_hikashop_product
INNER JOIN jxxx_hikashop_product_category
ON xxx_hikashop_product.product_id = xxx_hikashop_product_category.product_id WHERE `category_id` =13;

But now I have to make an UPDATE and add extra value in the same field. This is an bridge to far for me
Maybe you can help me to put me in the right direction. Because I don't know if concatenate is the right search word for this.

Hope you can help me a little bit.

Kind regards,
Lumiga

Hi,

You can use this MySQL request:
And simply replace 'The desired name' by the correct categoy name, or filter on another category column.
