Magento Extension : Category product tab edit link

PoleOuest_CategoryProductEditLink Magento extension is a lightweight magento backend extension that allows store managers to edit products straight from the category admin page.
Browsing products by category in the admin : there are many examples of opensource ecommerce systems that can do that. Among them, Prestashop backoffice is built around this navigation paradigm, and even Oscommerce  displays products by category in its 5 years old backoffice. Of course none of those two have the flexibility that Magento allows in terms of category / product association in a multistore environment.
But in Magento you can’t search product by category in the admin : can you imagine that this feature is missing in Magento !  As of version 1.4  this is still the reality, easily enhanced by the PoleOuest_CategoryProductEditLink Magento (see the page on Magento website).
INSTALLATION
- Buy (29$ via Paypal) the extension on our shop
Note : purchasing the extension gives you unlimited website license and full access to PHP Code - Download (TGZ)
- HOW TO INSTALL :
- unzip the file in your app/code/local, in order to get the structure below,
- create the xml module file PoleOuest_All.xml in app/etc/modules with the following code :
<?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <PoleOuest_Adminhtml> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> </PoleOuest_Adminhtml> </modules> </config> - go ahead, try it and let me know how to package this thing into a usable magento connect extension !

Nice! My first extension install and it was a success. Thanks!
Now if only I could figure out how to mass update products to additional categories…

Why not just export to csv and add your categories seperated via commas and upload again? Its how ive been working around this.

Hello, I want to make sure can it allow me to search in the “manage product” section and search by category, then use the action “update attributes” in bulk?
This is the function that I can really use.
Thank you very much!
