Introduction

Auto Update Catalog is a dependent module. It is a child module of HTMLCatalog, that is why it cannot be activated independently. To activate Auto Update Catalog you must have the HTMLCatalog (the parent module) activated.

This module helps to eliminate the need to refresh static HTML pages, generated by HTMLCatalog, every time there is a change in your product catalog (when you are adding or modifying products and categories). If the Auto Update Catalog module is enabled then it will immediately add the changes to the html pages. There is no need to generate the catalog again.

In other words, this module complements the HTMLCatalog module by providing a more dynamic environment for a user to operate.
