Admin Category Tree for VP-ASP - BYZ014

<< back to previous screen

If you use VP-ASP then you will know how hard it is to maintain all your categories using the standard VP-ASP category pages, especially when you have lots of levels, or sub-categories which have the same names as each other.
With this really useful little addon, you can view all your categories in a Tree format in the same order as your users will end up seeing them in.

Compatibility, Bundling, and Status Notes:
Compatible with VPASP V4.5 to V6.5
Before installing, you must have installed:
BYZ038
BYZ036

This product includes:
BYZ038
BYZ036

Within the tree, all category fields are available to be shown; simply tick the tick-boxes for which fields you want to see. From the tree, you can click on the description of any category you want to edit, then jump back to the (newly updated) category tree again to view the results.
It also gives you a set of warnings/links for any categories you've got which are not displayable in your tree (eg if they have an invalid higher categoryid)
Really quick and easy to install, and amazingly useful; a great little addon to help save extra time and hassle.
You can even configure the column headings and "Show?" tick-box labels to suit the type of info that you use/store in your various category columns.


Technical/Developer Information:
It also comes with 2 formats that you can use; a "listing" format (which shows the full tree in an indented-per-level format) and an "expand/collapse" format which lets you expand/collapse the levels just like you'd do when browsing files in windows-explorer. You can set either of those formats as your default, and you can click on a link within either format to switch/view in the other format.
