Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

So basically I need to use the template that comes with EP and populate it using OOffice. Can fields that I don't use be left blank? Also what about the word EOREOR at the end? Anything I need to do with that?

1. install EP, then download file showing your own products etc.
   Use Open Office to process that file to tab delimited...
2. yes
3. As my earlier post, every product must have word EOREOR
   at end of each line, under column EOREOR.

If you download your own file as per instructions in EP zip
and my comment 1, all will be revealed.

Well done!!

I don't know what i'm doing wrong but have the same problem on my proper site and my test site when it comes to EP

For some random reason the products are somehow registered but stay invisible.

What is it i'm doing wrong?

Here are the pages:
napavi.no
napavi.no/catalogue (test site)

Its best seen in the test site where under jul there are 183 products but when u go into jul there are none.
This is also under admin.

The list uploaded to the test site is the list taken from the proper site and is of products entered manually...

EP works fine with updating elements in the already existing products.

Hi,

I've just installed easy_populate_from_osc_2.76dmod3a on my Zen Cart v1.3.7.1

When I try to download, after clicking "start file creation" that's redirect me to the admin login page

When I try to upload (by modifying the sample) I have the same problem, the file is in temp, I can select it from "Import Data from file in temp/" but when I click I'm redirected to the admin login page

I need to create 200 articles...can't imagine to do it from the backend :lookaroun

Thanks all!

polnaref - Note the title of this thread 'Version 1.2.5.4', at present this is the best version of EP all others that I am aware of (excluding EPA which is a commercial version and supported by the author) are buggy in the download area.
So my advance either use 1.2.5.4 or buy EPA.

Thanks for your help.

I've also installed the 1.2.5.4 and the problem were the same

I've installed zencart and ez populate on another hosting and there were no problem

My regular host has "php mode = CGI", so I guess this is the reason for this error

Hi,

I've successfully uploaded around 170items to my website using EP, I have a two language Zen Cart and categories, subcategories, articles have only been created in the main language.

Any suggestion?

Thank you for this contribution. I have installed it and I have been able to transfer my store products to my new zen cart (I had to create a new domain name and move my store because of horrible spammers where attacking my store!) This contrubition has saved me many, many hours so far.

I am unable to find out how Easy Populate can move my zip file names, is this possible? I sell digital products that are available for immediate download. The attributes of the zips have transferred but not the name of the zip files, is it possible to get the zip names transferred and associated?

Thank you for your time!

Does anyone know how I might be able to add the product url to the EP download in the same way as for the sort order as below?

thanks

jvoce:

For anyone who was interested in adding the product sort order through EP here's how I finally did it.

Adding Product Sort Order:

1. Open Admin/easypopulate.php
2. Insert following:
   Line 389: 'v_products_sort_order'=> $iii++,
   Line 457: p.products_sort_order as v_products_sort_order,
   Line 601: p.products_sort_order as v_products_sort_order,
   Line 1290: 'v_products_sort_order',
   Line 1439: p.products_sort_order as v_products_sort_order,
   Line 1848: sort_order,
   Line 1917: products_sort_order,
   Line 1931: '".zen_db_input($v_products_sort_order)."',
   Line 1965: '", products_sort_order="'.zen_db_input($v_products_sort_order) .

I hope this helps! :D

Ok, I'm a bit stupid and didn't realise that there is a column heading for product_url but for some reason it doesn't fill up when I use easy pop.

I've searched through this thread extensively when I first installed easy pop and I've been looking through it over the last couple of days and I can't find the answer anywhere.

Can anyone help?

I am using ez populate to add products. The images for my products are hosted at another site. What do I place in the "v_products_image" field. I placed the supplied url from manufacturer, however, the images are broken. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

To clarify, I placed the image url from manufacturer, ie:

http://abccompany.com/12345.jpg

I couldn't find an answer to my question in the places I looked.

How do I get the text formating I want for the product description when I use EP?

That is, I've been entering all of my items thru Admin until today. I've used font = Georgia size = 12 when I typed the description into the new product in Admin.
How do I get Georgia 12 to show up when I use EP?
Today I set the description column in the EP spreadsheet to that font, but I lost it when I uploaded to my store.

Also, I lost my carriage returns that I put into the spreadsheet cell. So, the line breaks I wanted are not there. Do I have to go into Admin and modify each product manually?

Thanks
John

Hi

Which version of easy populate is the correct on for zen cart 1.3.8?,
I have tried installing on my admin easy pop is coming up on config but not of tools? any ideas could this be the files are not installed in the correct place

Thanks mag

kbmets7 - The way Zencart is working it is looking for the image from the images folder not from a url,
so the link to the image would be

/images/http://abccompany.com/12345.jpg :no:

Why not just ask your supplier to supply the images to host on your site, other wise you would need to add the image via the description box and add the link in there.

e.g
Image 12345 : <img vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0" align="bottom" src="http://abccompany.com/12345.jpg" alt="12345" title="12345"/>

johnd - you need to add html code to your description box

magpie - **Langer's 1.2.5.4 **works well as a free version and EPA3 (Commercial) works, all others are a little buggy at present

I started getting this error but never had it before:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 106 bytes) in /home/XXXX/public_html/XXXXXXX/easypopulate.php on line 1223

Is there something I can do to fix? I used to be able to load very large files (15mb) without splitting them. Why can't I do it now?

Thanks,
Jason

latest EP free, zen 1.3.8

HumDaddy - PHP has a very small memory, it is always advisable to upload approx. 300 products at once splitting the files and EP always works better that way, and less liklely to cause problems.

Ive just started to use 1.2.5.4 after having a few issues with other versions. Im trying to populate my shop but are finding when uploading the new items the first 6 or 7 load but the remainder fail. The v_prod_model is unique but some of the v_prod_image are the same as some products have varients. I have scratched my head but cant resolve.

Im importing the file to excel but then saving as ms-dos .txt format, it appears to look correct if you open the text file.

Any pointers or suggestions much appreciated.
