Title: Cat problem
Post by: Material Boy on October 07, 2005, 08:27:36 PM
 ??? I has too many problems editing, creating and deleting categories. Why? I take too many time opening the page of categories. The coppermine team have a crack/modification just to edit more simple categories? I'm creating this topic but if I don't get info to this, I'll change my gallery script.... I hope that I get the mod and info :D

We realize that for extremely large galleries the current category manager is not optimal, it needs to be rebuilt from scratch for future versions. However, this hasn't been done yet, so there's no mod/hack we could refer to.

merged double-posting. Don't try to get extra attention by posting various threads. You're wasting supporter's time.

I suppose you could export your categories table from your database as an excel file and use excel to edit and create as many categories that you want.  Then convert the excel file back to a mysql format and import it to your database.  Same with albums.


here's a tutorial on converting excel formats to mysql. http://www.webthang.co.uk/tuts/tuts_dbase/convert/convert.asp

Make a backup of your database before attempting such a stunt. If you know your way around you will find it easier to use a tool like phpMyAdmin that directly works on the database itself, as there lies a danger in converting stuff into excel and back into mySQL queries.
