Problem after set access level with the joomla batch process

[yapanta]

In joomla version 2.5.6, I tried to use the batch process for a selected categories, in order to set them a specific access level or a specific language.
The result was catastrophic. I lost all the values of the "Parent" field from all the selected categories. As you understand, I lost my tree view in my photo gallery for the selected categories.
I think that it is something that you have to know and ofcourse to manage it.

Hi, can you describe exactly which action leads to this? I am testing it and seems OK for me - tested language and access changing and all is Ok (of course you cannot do it for the tree in one - e.g. if you select category A and category B which is a subcategory of A and you will click on MOVE to root - then both will be moved (access and language will be changed) to root - this means - the category B will be not more subcategory of A.

EDIT - but I see the category can be moved to itself, so this is not correct, this will be fixed in next version.

Thank you for the info.

Hi Jan

Thank you for your answer. I don't understand why you don't see the error in your test. I will try to give you a simple example.

If I have the following 3 categories:
- Category-A
- Category-A-1 (Subgategory of Category-A) &
- Category-A-1-1 (Subgategory of Category-A-1)

In admin view of joomla v.2.5.6, I select the above categories and try to use the "batch process" in order to set them a specific access level (for example "Public") or a specific language (for example "En").

As a result, the content of the field "Parent" becomes empty for the 3 above categories.
Sorry I can't test it again because i have allready did it twice, and...

I hope i am helping you.

Hi Jan,
