Create a lot of categories

Hello:

There is a way (plugin) to create a lot of new categories at one time or must I create one per one manually? I’m thinking in create a category per country and similar things, it is slow, boring and gives opportunity to type mismach to create this kind of stuff handmade one per one.

Re: Create a lot of categories

Look at the function cat_event_category_create in textpattern/include/txp_category.php
Specifically these two lines (first line needs to be executed for each new category, the second when you’re finished adding categories):

safe_insert('txp_category', "name = '".doSlash($name)."', title = '".doSlash($title)."', type = '".doSlash($event)."', parent = 'root'");
rebuild_tree_full($event);
