Click on “Multiple category creator”, that will show an area, copy/past the structure from spreadsheet (OpenOffice calc or Excel or other), and click “Send”.
The structure is then interpreted and shown as a tabular data, that let you check if all is correct.

Re: dzd_multicat_creator
elwins, I have it working here in 4.4.1.
- Check for the parent category names of the categories you try to create, the samples provided do not work, as far as I remember (“root” should always work).
- Have you really checked the database or might it be a cache problem?
- Lastly: Check for conflicting plugins.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links
