I just bulk uploaded a number of items with the second category assigned. (The upload showed in my store VERY quickly, by the way Smile

)

Can we get the product to show up in the item count of their secondary category? I created a new category called Homespun Fabric by Color. The items are all there as they should be, but the category shows (0) in the menu. If I were a customer, I wouldn't even visit a page that showed no items in the item count.

Category ID counts are only available from the main category. If you have a custom template. You can remove the category count in a custom template or hardcode it.

#foreach ( $Category in $Categories)
    #if($Category.Name == "MyCateogryName")
         <li><a href="$Category.CategoryLink">$Category.Name</a> (HARDCODE VALUE OR REMOVE)</li>
     #else
         <li><a href="$Category.CategoryLink">$Category.Name</a> ($Category.ProductCount)</li>
     #end
#end

BTW, i was browsing your store and a few things caught my attention.

The two images on your home page are broken (invalid URLs)

I also noticed in your product descriptions, a lot of your HTML contains double quotes which is causing broken images and links.

Example Product Description:

<p style=""text-align: center;"">
<a href=""http://jubileehomespun.com/images/iquilts/600dec07quilts103.jpg"" target=""_blank"">
<img src=""http://jubileehomespun.com/bisi/bisi-images/bisiautumnquilt1.jpg""  /></a></p>

Yes, ... it's a work in progress. Rolleyes

I've already fixed the image links on the homepage. They were just temporarily broken while I was fixing the category count thing on my template.

The double quotes has been a real issue. Jennifer (moonlightseduction) suggested using open office & edit plus instead of excell & notepad. That seems to have fixed the problem so now I'm trying to "fix" the products. This new bulk edit is working great for that and I hope to have all the edits done tonight.

Once I get all this down, it'll be a breeze to stock this store and keep it stocked. I can't wait to move my url's here and start directing my customers here but I will have to wait until the store is ready for the customers. Hopefully soon.

Might want to take a look at NoteTab Lite which is a free text editor that was written for programers. It has many more features than notepad and you can have more than one document open using tabs. When I used Winders I used all the time. It will also strip all the html code from a document.

The problem with openoffice is that it will have formating codes in it that can have an effect on a webpage.
