admin/categories.php ~customize~

We have made several changes to admin/[login to view URL] from the stock OsCommerce file; it has Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1, Image Path Contribution, and it addresses several additional fields in the mysql tables products & products_description, as well as 9 additional fields in an additional table called ‘items’. What we're having trouble with is updating that entirely different additional table. It reads the table, displays it correctly, but doesn't update it. Admin/[login to view URL] deals with 2 rather complex querys; products_query & description_query, this job is to write another query like one of those. This may involve modifications to several other files as well. From the uploaded file you should be able to understand what we're trying to get at from the query on line 479
