Me again lol, aren't you so glad I started making shops again? !

Ok so this one is due to the humongous number of categories/sub categories that this shop I'm working on is needing. I'm finding it to be an extremely daunting task to remember which category or subcategory has items in it already and which are empty. The client is going to be populating the majority of the products so I've only got to input a few in each subcategory for now, but I've right now got over 50 subcategories lol. Needless to day I don't want them all open as it's a huge scrolling job to do that sooo...

Is it possible to get an icon, color distinction or something similar that will show us that a category does have products in it already? Doesn't have to be anything major, just some visible way to know that a category has products entered.

I've copied part of a post by a user and posting it here as it was a double suggestion for 2 programs so here's the selection of the post that refers to SCCP below:

I have 2 things I'd like to see in this program to make it easier for category and subcategory adding:

1. I would love to see a way to collapse Main Categories completely. Why you ask?
Well I'm working on a shop for someone that has over 100 sub categories for books and I've broken them up by Alphabet such as (A-F), (G-K) and so on, and each of those Main categories has at least 15 subcategories in it..... And guess what? I was given some more subcategories to add, and trust me what a pain it is to scroll up and down and up and down all these Categories to find the correct places to go.
This is also causing visual anomalies (overlapping of categories and subcategories on top of eachother) that can be corrected by swapping tabs back and forth, but then you lose your spot again! Too many categories/subs maybe are just too much for the program, but I recall this issue being there a couple years ago when I used it for myself. I was on a pretty ratty computer and we assumed it was my computer doing it. It apparently wasn't as I'm having this issue again.

2. Would be really great if we could specify where a subcategory or category goes rather than having it default at the bottom. Basically the idea would be that you highlight a category or subcategory (select it) and when you add a new category or subcategory it goes either above or below the one you have selected. Would be a whole lot easier for managing long lists of them that sometimes have to be manipulated when you have to add new ones and reposition them from the bottom to the top.

Would be really nice to have the ability to:

Expand All
Expand All Categories
Expand All Subcategories
Collapse All
Collapse All Categories
Collapse All Subcategories

Publish Categories / Pricing Optional [ publish as a catalog ] ~ very useful I feel!

Maybe this has been suggested before, but I would LUV the option to disable pricing in a given category. This would allow:

- someone with a collection to sell some of their items while allowing others to still be able to view their personal collections [ very very useful to a collector ! ].

- allow for a "Sold" category so folks can view what articles you have sold successfully.

- allow for an "Out of Stock' / 'Coming Soon' section.

Perhaps this could be done with a button similar to the existing Publish / Un Publish Category.

And another one....

It would be extremely nice if there were a form of color coding on the code when it's enclosed within the [[[ ]]] brackets. The way the program is working it's basically taking my code structure and removing it completely so I have to search around in the code text constantly to find things. If it would leave our structure of the code intact that would be optimal (could swear this was done a while back already), but if it can't, then some kind of code coloring for the tags would be most helpful since it's compacting the code so much it's hard to find things.

A second discount range option

I would like to have my basic per item discount, and an alternative by category discount option.

So (ie) when gold price goes up i can add 4% to all my gold wedding rings but not my silver ones

Also option to discount in same way when the gold price goes down

Hi, I was wondering, if there is a wish list available in the shopping cart for those members that can't afford what they see but would like in the hopefully near future to purchase. Could coffeecups shopping cart also have that? It would benefit yopu as well if stats could be run and you could reports on the wish list and see what is in possible demand. Sales, coupons then can be also wish list and demand driven.

Where oh where is SCCP 4.0? Discount coupon code in shopping cart area & more levels of sub categories -- 2 must haves. Plllleeeeaaassse! Tell me it's coming out in the next month.

I'm almost 100% sure that's not happening within the next month.
