I'm really not sure how something like this would cause data from one place to
end up in another place...
Alex: to make progress on this you'd probably have to do an export of your ProductCategory and ProductCategoryRollup
entities and send at least part of it over and hope someone has some time to take a look at it.
Another alternative would be to put some data on the demo.hotwaxmedia.com server to reproduce the issue and then send a
message about it to the mailing list with additional details.

the was a lot of work done recently to fix typing.
I get this message for getRelatedCategoriesRet
Type safety: The method addAll(Collection) belongs to the raw type List.
References to generic type List<E> should be parameterized

it's a few months old rev.... was at the company when I got here... I found the reason the categories where duplicate. In CategoryWorker.java: getRelatedCategoriesRet() on line 204 and 207, all categories are being added pretty much to the list. Once you comment those addAll calls you regular hirarchy seems to be preserved.

just checking since we have had some problems with recent revs.

BJ, Thanks for the advice. I took a look at the xml and it seems I'm doing
everything as instructed. I also went through a business setup guided an did
step-by-step catalog/category setup. I seems that in either case all the
subcategories get rolled up to the catalog (or rather browsing root) level.
Have you seen anything like that before? I'm setting both parent category id
and the rollup to be safe :)..
Thanks,
Alex

to get an idea of what you have to do, you can look the mini-language
for dealing with categories. this is all taken care of if you use them.
applications\product\script\org\ofbiz\product\category

Jacek, thanks for the help. I tried changes the CategoryWorker but that
doesn't seem to help. I am using the rollup. I'm doing an ETL into the schema
though. I'm thinking that maybe I'm not setting some field properly, so my
categories and subcategories get flattened up in addition to being hirarchical.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alex

Hello,
I apologies if this question has been addressed before, but I wasn't able to
find info on this. The questions is as follows:
When I add a category and a subcategory to the catalog, both category and
subcategory shows up at the same level (1st level in catalog). How can I turn
it off?
Thanks for the help,
Alex
Alex,
I had the same problem. Please follow email exchange below, it worked
for me:
Hi Jacek
You must assign the parent category using the category rollup screen,
it is not enough to just assign the primaryParentCategoryId.

I have noticed while working with Catalog-Categories that the list of top
categories (parent category is null) is incorrect.
I believe that CategoryWorker.java (producing the list of top categories)
has an error;
in line 105 "CurrentProductCategoryRollup" should be replaced with
"PrimaryParentCategoryId"

I created a top category using UI, I checked db and found in the
ProductCategory table my newly created category with PrimaryParentCategoryId
= null as expected.
Then I created a sub-category using UI and checked db again and found in the
ProductCategory table my sub-category with PrimaryParentCategoryId pointing
to top category as expected.
After that selecting Choose Top Categories from the UI (webtools/menu
catalog/Browse Categories) I would expect to see my top category only, but I
have seen top category along with sub-category instead).
