Upgrade your categories


Note: This is only required if upgrading from 3.xx. If you are upgrading from 4.xx or later, please skip this section.


The way VPCart handles categories and subcategories has been completely changed since the version you are using was released.


The VPCart 9.00 method for handling categories eliminates the need for the subcategories table, subcatlevel3, subcatlevel4, subcatlevel5 and prodsubcategories tables. The only two tables used are categories table and the prodcategories table.


To convert your categories:

1.   Open your browser.

 

2.   Enter the URL of your new VPCart 9.00 folder followed by “convertcategories.asp.” For example, http://www.vpasp.com/vpasp/admin/convertcategories.asp, where www.vpasp.com is your website address and vpasp is the folder where you installed your new copy of VPCart. Admin is the folder where the convertcategories.asp file is located.

 

3.   Click the “Convert” button.
