Admin - Delete Category
When you decide that a category is no longer needed you can remove it from the database. To delete a category go to the category listing page and click on the 'delete' link on the category you wish to delete
Deleting a category will delete all product in that category and in all it's children. For example if you delete the "Manga" category than alll product in "Naruto" and "HunterxHunter" will also be deleted. The function used to delete category is called deleteCategory() and it's located in admin/category/processCategory.php
The deletion process is like this :
- Update the cat_id for all products in that category to zero
- Remove the category image ( if exist )
- Delete the category from database
Pretty easy huh? I don't think we need to dive into the source code here because it is quite simple. Just take a look at the code and you will understand
Okay, now the category stuff is done we start playing with the next sub modul, the product pages.
