FoxyCart category problem
I have setup two categories on FoxyCart - one called 'catbox' and one called 'boxdvd'
When I try to enter these into my shop backend in Perch and click save, the value disappears.
Any fixes?
Thanks

Can you a dd the following line to your
perch/config/config.php
file.and then let me know what it outputs when the value 'disappears'?
Hopefully this makes sense
And that's after submitting the form? I can't see anything being updated at all, which is a puzzle.
Yip, I go to Apps > Shop > Choose a product > Type in the foxycart cat id (in this case 'catdvd') and click save. The text box then returns empty...
I've cross checked all templates etc to make sure everything is where it should be and I cant find anything. I did change the shop from PayPal to Foxy but all seemed to transfer across and my cart does actually work fine: https://www.rpm.designbyconet.com/shop/category.php?cat=specialist
Is there any info I can provide you with to look into this?
When you changed from PayPal to Foxy, did you remove the database tables so it could install fresh?
Nope! What tables exactly do I need to remove?
Cheers
The two shop apps use the same table names but different table structure. If you have one apps tables with the wrong set of code you'll get errors. Best remove the app and start again, unless you have a lot of data.
Yeah I have about 100 products which I really hoped I wasn't going to have to enter again but it looks as though I might have to then?
We can probably work around it. Can you create a mysqldump of the structure of your current shop database tables? Then I can see what needs to be changed.
Hey Drew, just sent a private ticket, didn't want to post the link to my sql dump on a public forum... awaiting you reply :)
Drew, did you get my email OK?
Yes, and I'll take a look at it as soon as time allows.
That's great, thanks, just the customer is on my back and this is the only thing holding it up.
Thanks again
Drew, I still havent heard back from you - slightly disappointing. I am going to have to delete the shop tables, reinstall foxy cart and reinstall all of the products as the client needs this to go live this week.
Ok that's fine. I was hoping to look at this today or tomorrow, but you do what you've got to do.
I'm not sure it's quite justified to feel disappointed - this is way beyond the scope of Perch support, and I was simply trying to do you a favour to help out. But never mind.
Drew, I really do appreciate all your help up to this point I am just getting tortured by the client and under pressure. If you can look at this today, do please let me know as I am sure I can hold off for another few hours, if not I will go on ahead and delete everything and start again.
Thanks again
Make a backup, then try running these SQL statements to change the DB structure:
Drew, that's it! Absolutely FANTASTIC!
Thank you so, so much. Should never have doubted you. Many thanks.
