Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm running into one other problem.

The width of the header_bg.jpg image has somehow gotten changed, and sticks out about 1/8th of inch past the right board. First, how the heck did I manage to change this? I have edited the width in both header.php and stylesheet.css, with no avail.

What I really want to do is just remove this image completely, and simply use my logo in header.php. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Hank

This post does not relate to this thread which is for Easy Populate..
Suggest posting in css/stylesheet forum

Thanks for the advice. Problem is I tried that and it wont work how come? Once it finds the .000 then it ask what i want to replace it with and I type .jpg and it keeps telling me excel cannot find a match. next to the replace it has a preview and format area. DO I change any thing on there? what should the within, search, and look in be on and should the match case and match entire cell content be checked? Thanks.

I suspect the problem is you have to format the column as numbers and then you can't put text in there. Once you get the .00 showing you could copy the whole column and paste it into a text editor, then do a global search & replace to change the .00 to .jpg. Then in excel change the column to text & paste in the changes you made in your text editor.

The problem here is this will only work as long as your image names are all numbers, and all in the main image directory. That's why I like to use a free program called NoteTab Light (actually I use Note Tab Pro, but the free light version will do what you need). It has a feature called block-paste, so you can create a column of:
.jpg
.jpg (etc)
Then after you've copied your file names just put the cursor in front of the first .jpg and from NoteTab's menu do Modify->Block->Paste and the column of file names is pasted in front of the column of .jpg's

If you want to put everything in a subdirectory of the main image directory just block paste the subdirectory name in front of the filename column.

Just a quick question...how do I change the currency from $ to £, especially for the Google feed file.

Thanks

Sorry, another quick question. If I upload a file with "model, price & qty" what does EP do with the products?

Does it dump them into one category, if so what one?

Will Easy Populate let me upload products with multiple attributes, multiple, differing quantity breaks and prices?

I understand that I should already have the option names and values already set-up, correct?

Is it possible to export tables from an existing store into Easy Populate?

And can someone please tell me what the difference is between standard and advanced? (I'm sorry but the features list at zenbuilder doesn't do this and, I'm hoping, is probably more elaborate than the paragraph shown).

Thank you!

Hello,
I too had the incorrect version of EasyPopulate. When I tried to delete the files in /public_html, and then tried to open my Admin, I received this error message:

Fatal error: Class box: Cannot inherit from undefined class tableblock in /home/ssolis/public_html/admin/includes/classes/box.php on line 27

I do not know what I did, or how to fix this. Can anyone help? As of right now, I cannot access my Admin Panel.

Thanks,
Sandy

Sandy,

You need to be sure you completely removed all the old version files from your server before uploading the new correct version files. A number of these files are loaded automatically, and they can cause problems like you are suffering when using incompatible versions.

You may have to do this manually ... but it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Thanks chaddro. I thought I did delete all the files that I added for the incorrect version though. I went through and deleted each one manually. I've since decided I do not want to load the Easy Populate module at this time, but maybe if I load the correct version, this will fix the Fatal Error???

Also, I've just received an order in my store, but according to the email from the customer, it did not assign an order number, which I assume is why the system did not notify me of an order. I'm very dead in the water here without access to the Admin Panel. :ohmy:

I've gone back and double checked that I removed all the files from the incorrect version and they are gone. Even through I uploaded the files from the correct version, I still cannot access the control panel. I do not know what else to try... Any help is most appreciated!

Hello, all. This is my first experience with Easy Populate and I am having a problem. When I use the Upload option, it only inserts the first product and stops. It doesn't seem to know when to start a new product. What am I doing wrong?

Sounds like maybe you've deleted too many things.

The Fatal Error is it referring to is this (in the box.php file):

class box extends tableBlock {

function box() {

$this->heading = array();

$this->contents = array();

}

When I use the "Evaluate Line" tool in Crimson Editor, it says "error(3): function not defined". Is this as simple as defining a function?? I will check the link you referred me to, but my shop has been down now for 3 days and I have no clue how to fix this.

What FTP software are you using? What version zencart? It sounds like something got deleted that is part of the core.

Does your FTP software have the ability to "synchronize"?

BACK UP YOUR FILES FIRST.

Then re-extract your zencart version, and try to synchronize the admin folder to the server. It should give you a list of changed files. Note that you don't want to over write your custom define pages.

One lesson to learn here is NEVER (sigh) install a mod to a live site. Always work within a sub-directory that has a working copy to test on first (and with it's own database and copy of data). I actually have multiple backups running in subdirectories. Main Site is in ROOT, then a full working backup in a sub-directory, and usually 1 or more testing directories.

This way I can test a mod and just over-write the directory and restore the database if there are problems.

I am beginning to think that perhaps your issue isn't EP 1.2.5.4 related. Nothing in the mod should affect your ability to login to the admin. But perhaps a file on your server got corrupted.

If your really stuck and at a loss, leave me a pm and I'll see what I can do to help more directly.

I've tried using EP several times now, but everytime I try it, it will only upload the first item and not the rest. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm really hoping to get this to work. I need to move about 800 products pretty quickly.

Thanks in advance! :)

KittieMD,
Look closely at your upload file and make sure the very last column to the right has EOREOR for EVERY product you have listed.

Wonderful! I will give that a try. Is there also a way to put in attributes, such as a download file name?

s there also a way to put in attributes, such as a download file name?

KittieMD - No, the only way would be use a SQL script.

Scrat,
In the past I have tried to use the Attributes down load, but it never worked.

So I deleted all products and relisted them without attributes except two items. Not a big store, only around 3200 products, but that Attribute never worked.
