Category Question

[aikidesi]

Friends,
I have 50 very similar lists, one for each state, and want to easily keep the Categories in sync across all, without having to add/delete the same category 50 times.
If I pick one state list as my "control" list, is it possible to modify a line or two in each of the other 49 states' lists so that they all point to the Categories in the "control"?
Thank you!

short answer is nope, if you have installed 50 lists you need to admin them all individually.

Hey Mark. Are the categories stored in a file that can be Ftp'd to each site to ensure they're in sync?

 

[Mark]

Nope, categories are set and stored in the MySQL database. You could write a query to export/import all categories or use a tool like phpmyadmin but you need to take care as skin names can be set per category and other interactions need to be considered.

Well, that's way beyond my ability...
Thank you, Mark.

Sorry I couldn't give the answer you were hoping for

No worries, Mark; I appreciate your support!
