Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

delia:

I can't figure out what easy populates are what. I did the upgrade 1.5.1 to 1.5.4. I don't care which one I use - at this point I just have to get this working again.

So this is supposed to be dead and we are going forward with 4? Switching versions can cause what problems? I don't see 4 has been uploaded to the zen cart plugins yet. You still working only out of github?

In order to comply with the requirements of plugin submission, a set of instructions remains required. So, yes still working out of github as identified on the first post of the above thread, answering questions related to that version at that thread.

To my knowledge I don't know of a conflict, though if database has been upgraded, may want (if able) to uninstall the old version or at least replicate the actions.

Would help to know where at in the process of trying to resolve the above issues problems are seen. What is known, what is not, what results are occurring, why still trying to get this version to work when a version already does that provides similar/the same functionality.

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Hello, great plugin and thanks for the continued support of the new builds.

I would just like to confirm whether the latest Easy Populate CSV Version: 1.2.6 is compatible with old PHP 5.3 & Zen-cart 1.5.4? Noticed it's tested with php 5.4.35, just stuck trying to push my host to upgrade php at the moment as 5.3 is so old now and end of life. Seems 5.3 has more and more compatibly problems with newer plugins lately.

Easy Populate CSV - Version: 1.2.6
-- Updated for zen cart 1.5.3 compatibility
-- Tested with zen cart 1.5.4 and php 5.4.35

I've already installed it on 1.5.4 with php 5.3 and can see it fine in the admin console under tools and easy populate and have this message across the top bar of the admin console in red "Warning Easy Populate Configuration Missing. Please install your configuration by clicking here"

As soon as I click the "Please install your configuration by clicking here" it dumps me out of the site to a http 500 blank page. Have followed through the install notes again to double check, even tried to import the install_sql for troubleshooting but that wont import too, errors straight away.

Easy Populate For ZenCart v1.5.x

Upload EP File

Import from Temp Dir (EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_TEMP_DIR/)

Download EP and Froogle Files

Download Complete .csv file to edit (Attributes Not Included)
Download Model/Price/Qty .csv file to edit
Download Model/Price/Qty/Last Modified/Status .csv file to edit
Download Model/Category .csv file to edit
Download Froogle tab-delimited .txt file
Download Model/Attributes .csv file

Create EP and Froogle Files in Temp Dir: EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_TEMP_DIR/

Create Complete .csv file in temp dir (Attributes Not Included)
Create Model/Price/Qty .csv file in temp dir
Create Model/Price/Qty/Last Modified/Status .csv file in temp dir
Create Model/Category .csv file in temp dir
Create Froogle tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir
Create Model/Attributes .csv file in temp dir

Anyway, thanks to all that can help with this. Cheers, N

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

I will dig out the info

OK I am very confused. I have loaded this plugin to a fresh site and it works no problems. I think there could be a conflict with an earlier version of easy populate. So I have decided to remove all mentions of any easy populate from the site and reload after that. It also looks like I am going to dive in to the SQL database to remove as well. and remember to backup the DB first.

Easy Populate V4 is the way to go these days. The only thing I don't really like about it as that it uses CSV as the default filetype. Tab-delimited is a far better filetype.

However, if you use EP v.4 in conjunction with OpenOffice (rather than MS Excel) the CSV " delimiter is not so challenging an issue.

Do any of the EP variants handle multiple attribute option types? Documentation seems sparse.

Requiring OO instead of MS Excel is a show stopper. It is difficult to tell people "if you are editing "THIS FILE", you must use OO and if you are editing anything else in the business, you must use MS Excel"

I have done a search for Easy Populate V4 and have 10 finds, nothing labelled Easy Populate V4. I have found one 'Easy Populate CSV' which I think is this one. anyway. it says you This will allow someone to add custom fields from the, configuration menu Configuration->Easy Populate->Custom Fields, no mine goes into tools/easy populate.

Am I missing something?
Am I installing the right one?
I would like to remove all traces of easy populate, any type that is installed.

HI,

Just got to the bottom of this problem. It is all to do with the custom fields that are built into the script. If you dont have custom fields then it generates the SQL incorrectly and you get the error message. You will need to edit the easypopulate.php file that sits in the admin root directory. Around line 560 is where the problem starts.

I dont use custom fields and dont plan to do so, so i have simply removed the following from the SQL
".$custom_filelayout_sql." on line 599 - 601. Ensure you remove the 2 quotes aswell as everything in between. Savethefile and re-upload.

If you want to use custom fields then this will not be the solution for you but atleast it has identified the problem so hopefully it will help

Many thanks

Paul

PS, its been a long time away from Zencart, but its great to be back!!

Re: Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

So let me get this straight. For those of us who want to install this product for the first time we need to do the following:

  1. Go to GetHub (https://github.com/chaddro/EasyPopulate-4.0), download EasyPopulate 4 and install that.
  2. Next, go to the Zen-Cart Store (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=868) and download the update and install that.

Is that correct?

Where I'm getting confused is the naming of the programs. On GetHub it's "EasyPopulate 4" but on Zen-Cart it's "Easy Populate 1.2.6". Are these the same programs or am I mixing apples with oranges here?
