Category Quick Adder Mods

One of the thing that we must do after installing IndexU is populating the categories database. This can be done in two ways, using the category dump database that available in many sources or adding category yourself. Using category dump is a great and fast way building categories, but since everyone use it, your categories structure might not unique anymore. Adding category yourself is the best way if you want to have unique category structure, but it can be time consuming if we have to do it one by one. So here we developed this mods to make it easier for you for adding and managing categories.

As always, members can download this mods for FREE here (you’ll need to login first).

Here is the installation step :

1. Unzip and upload the category-quick-adder-mods.zip file to the corresponding IndexU folder.
2. If you want this mods to be available in admin left panel menu, simply add this on /admin_tpl/menu.html file.
   Change :
   Content visible to member only. Please register or login first.

   To :

   Content visible to member only. Please register or login first.

That's it.

Here is the screenshot :

Simply select parent category, add your categories, adjust it's pricing and you're done.
In "categories" textarea, you can arrange your category and subcategories by using "2 space" like a folder tree.
Example :

We assume that the parent category is "Main Category".
So the above codes will generate Category A, B and C as top category, A1 and A2 as subcategory of A, then A11 and A12 subcategory of A1, and so on. With this method, you can add as many categories and subcategories you want with a single click :)

One more thing, you do not need to run the "Update Category Path" in this regards, since it is already done automatically by the mods.

Ok, we hope this mods will be useful for you.
Thank you for all members that have join and support us so far.
We'll continue building more and more mods for you all.
