How can I add existing items to a matrix in netsuite? - matrix

I have several items in Netsuite that I want to group together but it seems like I can only add items to a matrix if they're new.

Once an item is created you cannot change its type and whether an item is a matrix item or not is part of its type. The only exception to this is where you can convert a non inventory item to inventory item.
However if the driver for this is how you display items on your website there are a number of ways to deal with this.
Both of these require some JavaScript skills
One is to create a site category and assign your "matrix" items to that. Then create an item list template for the category that makes it look like a buy page.
The other is to link the items under a new parent item ( can be natural parent field or custom item field) and use Ajax calls to a suitelet to load the child items and organize the page

How to edit the list of recent categories?

Outlook Categories has 15 recently used lists.
Is there any way to edit this?
Older project's categories are included in the list.
I want to display new projects.
I would like to do this because it takes less time to select from this list than it does to select "All Categories" and then choose one.
I tried to print the master category list, but the flags in the displayed list don't seem to exist.

There is no information how Outlook maintains the recent categories list. But I think this information could be stored in the same place with categories list. Check out the associated content of your Inbox folder. Read more about that in the Outlook Categories and Color Categories article.
Also I've noticed that categories that were added using Group Policy (by adding corresponding windows registry keys) are displayed first:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\office\nn.0\outlook\preferences
String: newcategories
Value: New Category 1; New Category 2
The same path in the CURRENT_USER hive also works.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\nn.0\Outlook\Preferences
String: newcategories
Value: New Category 1; New Category 2
Finally, you may consider using shortcuts for categories, so you shouldn't care about the recent categories list.

I want to create a category just to show products in a particular attribute

Hope you can help Magento users,
I have a clothing store selling big mens clothing. One of my best categories in my old store was allowing the customer to view all the products in his size in one feed. Whilst I am aware they can choose the top level category (menswear) and use the attributes down the left side to select their own size, I would like to have a specific category for instance (All 3xl products) all ready setup in the mega menu. So far I have been able to set a category up and set a url rewrite to the required url attribute. Works fine but I can not add text at the top of the page (for seo purposes).
I was considering if it is possible to create a static block with only 3xl products in, then I can design the page around the static block?
Depending upon category structure if you are using anchor categories you could create a link directly to an attribute filter.
i.e
I have an attribute called material
and the value of polycarbonate id is "4"
you can append the values of layered navigation/anchor categories to the end of the url
mysite.com/vehicles.html?material=4
Say for example, you have an attribute of "size", with the id of 3xl = "10"
and mens was your anchor category. It would look like
yoursite.com/mens.html?size=10
Then you would just create a simple html link to http://yoursite.com/mens.html?size=10

Brands in sub categories in Magento

I'm trying to solve a problem with the top navigation in Magento.
The top navigation I have, currently shows a top level category and it's sub categories. What I want to do is add another level underneath each sub category containing brands in that sub category as shown here (http://cl.ly/image/3A3D1i1D3j3x)
I want the brand items to be retrieved from the "brands" attribute of products in the parent sub category (Jackets etc.) rather than creating a bunch of brand sub categories in each product type sub category as that is a nightmare for administrating the system.
If anyone knows of a good extension free or paid that does this, I'm willing to go down that route too.
Thanks for the help.
I'm working on something similar right now. It's not an exact fit as it wouldn't integrate with your menu but I would recommend using Amasty's Improved Layered Navigation for this.
It allows you to add a horizontal layered navigation block and set it up so that you can filter by brand based on an attribute. You could use the default manufacturer attribute but I've found it less problematic to add a new one called Brands. The module allows you to assign images to attribute values, so you can have all the logos for your brands listed and the user can filter the products by clicking on the logo.
You can also then use the same brand images in the product list page and the product view page.
This is very easy for your client to manage, they just assign the product it's brand attribute when they create it.
Here's a screenshot of the site I'm working on so far (still not finished so some rough edges) so you can see what I mean. Just a few test products in there and I have used the vertical block rather than the horizontal one but you get the idea. The user just clicks on a logo to filter the list.
And apart from that there's lots of other handy aspects to the module, including sliders for filtering other attributes (weight, price and anything numeric).

Setting ItemID of a page based on categoryID of articles

Here is the situation
I am adding some articles within a category that are not linked by a menu item ... when I use JCE to link to these articles from another article, the menu ID of the page displayed is set to the one I am linking from ... This is perfect, the breadcrumbs are working as expected and everything is fine ...
The problem is when I perform a search... when the results return, those linked articles which has no menu item comes back with no itemID
I was wondering if there's a way to modify Joomla Router to set an ItemID for the pages which has no ItemID if they match certain catID ...
I know I will be modifying the core files ... I cannot create hidden menu items because this will disturb the breadcrumbs navigation... The site has huge number of categories so creating menu item for each will be painful!
Thanks a lot for your help.
You could certainly modify the router to look up the catID for a particular article, but it would not accomplish anything unless that category has a corresponding menu item. itemID specifically comes from the itemID so there must be a menu item related to it in order for it to be a valid itemID.
You could modify your search form to pass along the current itemID, but if your search shows up on every page, it would vary depending on where the search was initiated.
If all of your content items can use the same itemID, you might want to simply use an override for your search results and add that particular itemID to all your search results.
I am afraid that there is no simple answer if you do not want to create menu items.

NotApplicable marker with display pattern

Ok, so I'm pretty new to Cocoa, especially Bindings, but here's what I'm trying to do. I've got a Core Data model consisting of two entities: Category and Item. Category has a to-many relationship to Item called children, and Item has a relationship to Category called parent. Item has two attributes that Category does not have: quantity and desiredQuantity. What I'd like to do is display the tree in an NSOutlineView with two columns. One column is bound to the name of either the Category or the Item. I want to the second column to display something along the lines of
2 of 5
for the Item rows and nothing at all for the Category rows. When I use a display pattern, the Category rows end up showing
of
I noticed that if I don't use a display pattern for the second column, and instead just bind its Value to either the quantity or the desiredQuantity, the Category rows show nothing; its only if I try to use the display pattern.
How can I make it display nothing for the Category rows and still use the display pattern? Or can I?
Edit:
I guess I didn't explain what the NotApplicable marker has to do with anything - Category does have properties for quantity and desiredQuantity, but they just return NSNotApplicableMarker.
This looks like a job for a custom NSFormatter or just a read-only NSString property called "paginationString" ...
