Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

kevinoneil68:

Hi,
I have been searching for hours and hope you can help.

zc - v1.3.9h
ep - 1.2.5.4

I am having trouble with quantity discount attributes.

I am unsure how to have products with prices for:

1-5 ... $2.00 each
6-10 $1.75 each
11-15 $1.25 each and so on.

I have no clue how to implement this into ep.

I have over 10k items and each have different price discounts for quantities purchased.

Thanks,
Kevin

EP does not handle quantity discounts. These are in a separate table, not associated with the EP structure.

fairestcape,
thanks for the reply.
Will find something that works.
Kevin

Hi
Installed EP v 1.2.5.4 in ZC 139h

Uploaded one item in a tab delimited text file with a model #, name , description and category.

Checked the database and this record appears correct.

Checked the store and also appears correct

Went into admin and found the listing with the correct name and model # in the correct category; However when entering into the product all the fields are blank including the name ,model#, and Description.

How is this Possible???

If you open the product and it's blank, is it still blank if you leave that product and come back to it?

I have that bug on my store. No idea why it does it, but it works otherwise.

What other modules do you have installed?

If I manually enter a new product with just a Model# and then use EP to update everything appears fine in the admin product details page.

ceon URLs is most likely to be the culprit.

We use all the others ourselves, but we keep well away from all these so-called SEO modules. In general, they do more harm than good and have ZERO influence on Search Engine results.

This is weird. A few weeks ago I installed EP and it went well. I was able to download my current products at that time and today was finally about to upload some new ones. Problem is, I no longer see EP under Admin-Tools nor under Admin-Configuration.

I checked with my FTP program and all the files were in place. I typed in the browser "...adminxx/easypopulate.php?langer=install" and got the denied.php message. (Same thing after I later tried "langer=remove.") I tried installing the SQL patch and was told they are duplicate tables. I deleted the mod's files and then re-installed them and still did not see it under Admin-Tools.

Now I don't know what to do. There were no Uninstall instructions per se and did not see anything here. Any ideas, please? I'm using 1.39g.

Update on my issue, hopefully someone can help.

Whenever I attempt to download a file from the easy populate console the admin prompts me to log in, and won't actually allow me to log in until I clear my zen cart cookies. I wonder if this is something to do with my store using .htaccess files?

Similar things occur when I tried to uninstall easy populate using the YOUR_ADMIN/easypopulate.php?langer=remove address in my browser

Really am stuck with whats causing this

I have same exactly problem, any suggest?
I USED new verison 1.3.9 ,have the problem and swich to old one 1.2.5.4 under new Zencart 1.3.9.
please help, I do not want upload the product one by one.

I believe this is an SSL issue. Do you have your store admin configured to be all SSL? If so, turn that off and see if that fixes the issue.
You would do this in your config.php in the admin\includes folder.

There is a fix for this, but I can't for the life of me remember just where that is.

Looks like I've found a Guinea pig for my modded version of EP. I rewrote the categories code to support multiple languages, but haven't found anyone to put it through the paces.
You can download from here:
https://github.com/chaddro/EasyPopulate-4.0

Be sure to test on a backup of your store! I'm not positive how the script will behave when english isn't the default (i.e. the "_1", and "_2" would be next languages.
Also, my code uses CSV not TXT, so use OO when editing, and you can install it along side your current version of EP without affecting it.

PM me if you have any questions so as to not hijack this thread :p

Hi Chadderuski,

I had the opportunity to test and here are my inputs:

1. categories and subcategories in on cell is very efficient... VERY COOL
2. I made a test run - my sites' default language is Hebrew... Once I uploaded using EP4, the category name on both, the English and Hebrew appeared as a number and not the category name. The subcategories appeared with the Hebrew name on both the English and Hebrew section..

Could you please advise,

Eran

come on , please there must have someone can help me out here.

I am trying to upload a huge product csv with Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 for Zen Cart 1.3.9h. I have a few issues. My csv file has over 140,000 rows. Columns are separated by |(vertical line) instead of commas, the product titles are longer than 64 & contains # () and the description contains commas.

Is there any hope for me to import this file?

Hi Eran!
I have a major update I'm pushing to github soon, although I haven't fixed every multi-lingual issue yet. Did you define your category languages for both english and hebrew in your original Full import?

Are you using attributes import yet? I need to fix some code here also for multiple languages.

Yes, the script is not quite complete when importing multiple-language categories (it's rather complex!). But! You can use the "Categories Only" option to first export, assign your languages (and meta tags) and then upload. ONE IMPORTANT caveat is that you don't change any categories IN STORE. The Categories Only option works on the categories ID so if you change things in store between export/import you may have unpredictable results.

Send me a PM with your email and I'll work with you more closely off site.

Yes, there is hope, but you'll need to do a few things. First, you'll need OpenOffice (it's free). When you open the CSV file with OO, you'll have the option to select "Other" ... here you'll put your pipe character.

You may have to experiment with "Quoted field as text" to see if it matters. Also, you should know what character set your store is using: UTF-8, or ISO-8859-1 ... Select the correct character set on import.

Once your file's data looks okay, go to File > Save As, Select "Text CSV" and be sure to check the "Edit filter settings" box. Click "keep current format" and then set our character set, Field Delimiter to Comma, and Text delimiter to " Double-Quote.

For your product titles, you can modify the length of products_name in phpMyAdmin. Doing this will not break zencart.

I'm working on a new version (EP 4 beta) that you can get from github. Please send me a pm with your email so I can let you know when I've posted the next update (tonight or tomorrow, time permitting). I have been working with a site with 900,000 products and have done a lot of optimizing and also added a feature that lets you split your CSV files prior to import. This makes importing much simpler, and you can adjust your import files to work with your host so you don't get time-out from the long processing time. I also fixed some bad logic in 1.2.5.4 that made large imports cumbersome even though langer had some code in there for splitting import files...

On the site in question, I broke those down into 50,000 import files which were completing import in about 250 seconds on their hefty VPS. You may need smaller break points.

Please send PM with your email so I can let you know when I get the update posted to github. Shouldn't take me too long.
