How to manage Drupal Ubercart categories in the catalog

The Ubercart catalog can have categories, sub-categories and sub-sub-categories and so on.   These categories are managed through the site taxonomy.  Manage them from the administration menu bar as follows:

  • Select Content Management
  • Select Taxonomy
  • Select List
  • Select List Terms from the Catalog Taxonomy item
  • Re-order or change the order of the categories listed: click+hold the left hand double arrow and drag the term up or down the list.
  • Create Sub-Categories by indenting the term under a parent term. Simply click+hold and drag the term to the right.  You can create as many levels of sub-categories as you need.
  • Add new terms by Selecting Add Term from the menu items in the Catalog Taxonomy.
  • Breadcrumb path: Leave Blank unless you want to specify a particular path other than default
  • Term Name: Type in the Term Name as you want it to display in the catalog.
  • Description: Add a Description or leave blank.  Used as the category description and may not be used in your website.  The description does not have WYSIWYG, Image or attachment options. Many times this is completed elsewhere in a view. 
  • Save the new term. 
  • Re-Order the new item around in the list terms view described above.
