Code: [Select]

  if (empty($error)) {
$cat_name_array = explode('|', $cat_name);
$cat_name_count = count($cat_name_array);
    for ($i=0;$i<$cat_name_count;$i++)
    {     
    $cat_name = $cat_name_array[$i];   
/** Start ADD **/
    if (!$cat_order) {         
      $sql = "SELECT cat_order
              FROM ".CATEGORIES_TABLE."
              WHERE cat_parent_id = $cat_parent_id
              ORDER BY cat_order DESC
              LIMIT 1";
      $catorder = $site_db->query_firstrow($sql);
      $cat_order = $catorder['cat_order'] + 10;
      $do_update_cat_order = 0;
    }
    else {
      $do_update_cat_order = 1;
    }
         
     $sql = "INSERT INTO ".CATEGORIES_TABLE."
            (cat_name, cat_description, cat_parent_id, cat_order, auth_viewcat, auth_viewimage, auth_download, auth_upload, auth_directupload, auth_vote, auth_sendpostcard, auth_readcomment, auth_postcomment)
            VALUES
            ('$cat_name', '$cat_description', $cat_parent_id, $cat_order, $auth_viewcat, $auth_viewimage, $auth_download, $auth_upload, $auth_directupload, $auth_vote, $auth_sendpostcard, $auth_readcomment, $auth_postcomment)";
     $result = $site_db->query($sql);
     $cat_id = $site_db->get_insert_id();

     if ($result && $cat_id) {
      if ($do_update_cat_order) {
        update_cat_order($cat_parent_id);
      }
      $msg = $lang['cat_add_success'];
      create_cat_folder(MEDIA_PATH."/".$cat_id, CHMOD_DIRS);
      create_cat_folder(THUMB_PATH."/".$cat_id, CHMOD_DIRS);
     }
     else {
      $msg = $lang['cat_add_error'];
     }
     /** End ADD **/
     // echo $cat_name.' , ';
    } // end FOR!
    forward_to_modify($msg);   
  }

modification in: admin/categories.php
position: in body "savecat" action: if ($action == "savecat") {

so....
now you can enter categories like this example:
Animals|Cars|Bussines|Nature|Musical|Sports|Abstract|Art|People|Objects|Musical|Food|Education
and .. done ... 13 categories with only 1 click !!!
