Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Hello! I am using EP to upload attributes for products on a new site (taking attributes from an existing site. Model #'s have been made to match up). I have opened the attributes download and don't see all of the attributes for my products there. I thought to look because the attributes are not showing up on the products I am trying to add them to on the new site. So the "chocolate" attributes are nowhere in the file but they are a part of my attributes from the products on my current site. The file is 8.25 MB. Does the file size get limited and not all the info download when it gets too big? What else do I need to try? Please help!

Example product from current site:
http://www.doodlebuckets.com/store/new-baby-girl-giant-fortune-cookie-p-328.html

Example from same product on new site with same model #:
http://www.giftsofcharacter.com/catalog/new-baby-girl-giant-fortune-cookie-p-605.html

I have successfully added attributes to other products but don't understand why these aren't working and why the option values aren't showing up in the file..

Thanks! Amy

Never mind! I figured it out...

Hi,
When I try to download complete file from zencart using easypopulate I get this.

I'm not at home to be able to log in on ftp to download the file if to create it in /temp folder. Can I somehow work around and get it to download properly?
I do get the download window and everything. But this is the only this that is in it..

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 9216001 bytes) in <b>/customers/$MYADRESS/$MYADRESS/httpd.www/webshop/$MYADMIN/easypopulate.php</b> on line <b>1081</b><br />

please shed some light here :cool:

would be awesome if ZC had a miniature filebrowser that you can do simple things with such as download files, chmod and upload

adding some info;
since I want to get hold of the complete EP products file, but the only thing I can do is to make it to create in /temp directory.

now my problem is that is does not have the proper chmod rights for me to access it and download it..
can I somehow by logged in as admin in my webshop change the rights on the file or get it downloaded somehow? for example by using sql patches or something and entering some code to chmod or make it accessible in some way.

let me know
thanks

If you use firefox, there is a plug-in call FireFTP that works VERY well. It even has syching abilities and chgmod.

thanks for tip chaddro; but how can this program help me with my problem?

I'm, not at home and only password i remember is the zencart admin password.
So can't access the ftp where my webshop is since I can't remember the password and I'm not at home to look at the papers.
If I would remember the ftp password it would be no problem, but since I don't I need to see if there's a way to get the easy populate file downloaded or chmod'ded via zencart admin pages somehow.

leet me know if anyone has a clue.

thanks

I am trying out the Easy Populate taken from OS
(Getting a EP System with Attributes is a dream to me!)

I have it installed on 2 systems.
1 a fresh install (Which works fine)

the 2nd is my Heavily modified site.

On the 2nd site, It seemed to work perfect.
I get this message after importing 1 Record.

No products_id field in record. This line was not imported

Which looked like it was going to work, however. The Product listing never shows up. It was if I never uploaded the file.

Any Suggestions??

thanks for tip chaddro; but how can this program help me with my problem?

I'm, not at home and only password i remember is the zencart admin password.
So can't access the ftp where my webshop is since I can't remember the password and I'm not at home to look at the papers.
If I would remember the ftp password it would be no problem, but since I don't I need to see if there's a way to get the easy populate file downloaded or chmod'ded via zencart admin pages somehow.

Sorry Dedj, perhaps I misunderstood what you needed. NO way to use chmod from within zencart admin that I know of (or ever heard). This would be done through your web publishing software, website admin panel, or using an ftp program like the plugin for firefox.

You must have a /temp folder on your site for EP to work and it must be writable. If this is correct, and your still not getting the file, it is likely a server config problem... how many items in your store?

-chaddro

Milo:

Make sure every line including the header has EOREOR otherwise EP doesn't know how differentiate between each record. And you must have a product_id for each item.

-chaddro

ghopper:

This looks like your either missing a file or did not patch the sql for the admin. Verify that all your files have uploaded. Also don't forget to add a /temp folder with write permissions.

-chaddro

For trying to shoot my problem....

File uploaded.
Temporary filename: /tmp/phpTmwADx
User filename: Handbag.txt
Size: 14807

I had "temp" as the folder not tmp.
So I created a folder named "/tmp"

But that did not work.

Then I am thinking. Perhaps if I change that part to go to "temp" that might solve it. Where would I make that edit?

I had "temp" as the folder not tmp.
So I created a folder named "/tmp"
folder for easy populate 1.2.5.4 should be/temp
and must have owner permissions to read/write/execute
Your previous post states

Are you using EasyPopulate version 1.2.5.4?

Easy Populate Advance2.76d-mod3a Zen-Cart 1.3.x - Default Language English(1)

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=460

I set temp/ to 777
I also changed all the items in that folder to 777 as if that would do anything.
I made a folder named tmp/ and chmod it to 777
(nothing ever goes into there)

I also tried uploading the file to the temp directory. EP saw that it was there.
But when I processed the file it gave me the same thing. No errors. Looked like it went in perfectly, yet the product was nowhere to be found.

I tried downloading all the products to the temp folder.
To try to download the products and move them to my other site...
I would start fresh if I could get all my products in... (With Attributes means that much to me..)
But I get this error when I tried.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /public_html/admin/easypopulate.php on line 540

If I try downloading the complete file to my hard drive I get 75 listings and this error (Inside my file)

Oh. Forgot to mention.

I had Easy Populate v1.2.5.4 previously installed.
I compared the files and file structure is exactly the same as this one...
However Easy Populate v1.2.5.4
has a SQL Patch when this one does not...

I dont know if I have to modify my database...

Milo,

To make this easier on yourself, be sure to completely remove all the old files you uploaded (manually verify these)... because of the way zencart works, an older non-compatible (or even newer) file will auto load.

Run the un-installer for EP. Do a search for uninstall to get exact instructions.

Once you've done that, reload 1.2.5.4 and install the patch. Open the sql patch with a plain text editor and paste this directly into the SQL patch window. Some systems seem to botch the file upload.

Then download your Full file ... this should work. If it isn't, reread the install document. I've done this dozens of times and when it doesn't work, it is nearly 100% user error... missing file, missing temp folder (from root mind you) or people not properly formating the text files.

-chaddro.

Ok. Ill try that...

Lots of work to do now...

Did you get this mod working??

Uninstall. Ok Ill try that first...

Once you've done that, reload 1.2.5.4 and install the patch. Open the sql patch with a plain text editor and paste this directly into the SQL patch window. Some systems seem to botch the file upload.

I am trying to load Easy Populate Advance2.76d-mod3a Zen-Cart 1.3.x
Because... It supports attributes.
I had that file working (And probably could once again...)
But that version does not support attributes.

If you rely heavy on Attributes... As we do... The thought of making this work would be very important.
