Category Preset uploadproduct

[monstermoto]

HI I have quite a few categories and need to find a better way to let the user select the appropriate one when posting an ad. I understand the feature is available to have them navigate to the category and when they hit "Place an ad" the drop down should be set to that category.

However its not working for me, the code appears to be in my uploadproduct and when I hit "Place an add" the url does contain my cat=xx but it doesnt change the dropdown results.

any help is appreciated

So i guess i was mistaken... there is no easy way for users to select their category.. they must choose from a single drop down which becomes pretty cumbersome for sites with a lot of categories...

If anyone here has the skills, I have the $

If they are in a category they hit upload and the upload page they go to has the category highlighted on the second stage of cat selection.

If they are not in a category they go to the screen to select which type of ad to post for sale help wanted etc

Thanks for the reply Chuck. That is exactley what I want it to do. Unfortunately it does not work for me. Do you have a URL I can see this behaviour in action? I tried at viper alley but got the same result as the 2 installs I have.

I navigate to "Viper Packages from Vendors" (cat 21)

Hit "place an ad"

Step 2 shows me "choose your category" with "vipers for sale" (cat 2) highlighted.

Am I missing something?

what version do you have? I would suggest you work from the default 2.5 code.

Viper I beleive is not using the latest code

I am using a fresh install of 2.5, downloaded about 1 or 2 weeks ago.

You can post a url here so we can see your install
