Items in Mutiple categories?

Hi again
I was wondering whether feeds could be placed in multiple menu/categories without having to use a filter? Perhaps adding something to the Select 0 field in the feed?

Example: I have a feed for shoes which I want to put in search category 'All Shoe Gifts' and I would also like to include this in 'All Fashion Gifts' when using the dropdown in the ajax search function (mod_datamenu) or the menu item.

It also appears as though any & symbols added to the Select 0 are stripped. I this normal?

Any advice appreciated.

Mike

all values for an item are unique, so you will have to import the feed twice with different Select0 value ( and you will get the item in the database twice)

another solution is to use Select1, if this field is a comma seperated value it will create an item for each value.

Yep that's normal, it's a design choice to simple remove all problematic ( sql/url) symbols

Thank you Bram
If I use the Select 1 option that would mean that all merchants would need to have a select one entry to work with the search and menu item?

Sorry, can't follow your question

the feed configuration maps the fields from the feed to the database fields.

that' regardless what you use it for.

using a callback you can change the value ( or add a value if none is available in the feed)



}

LOL I really need to learn more PHP!

OK I think I am getting it now.

If I add that code to the CB it will take any items that I import that have 'shoe' it will be added to list one as 'All Shoe Gifts and All Fashion Gifts?

I am really sorry about this because I know I didn't pay you very much for your support.

P.S. Do you know any good sites that can explain PHP terminology in plain English?
