Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[NomadRip]

Hi All

I am looking to import Meta tags and descriptions for over 5000 products, in to my site via EP, is there a way that l can import them via Excel and if so, would l need a script in EP to do that.

As it would take me along time to do them one by one. I have seen and read EP advanced and think it is what l am after, but for now, advanced is not needed.

And unfortunaly funds are very tight. sorry to say

You can use excel to input the info into EP format. I always open the .txt files with Excel because it's easier to work with. The file just has to be saved as a .txt file before you can import it.

Has any one got a install_sql file for a Mysql 5 install, as the version I am using is giving me an

1264 Out of range value adjusted for column 'configuration_group_id' at row 1

Error and I read there is a new format for Mysql 5?
Thanks

is it possible to add products w/ the attributes intact.

Easy populate standard requires unique product number for every individual product..it is possible to add product details price, etc, seperate to attributes...best to install, download file/s to show your existing products.. go from there...

Not to interupt but I have posted this in another 2 threads and can't get an answer. Heres what I need to know.

I have 2 mods EP standard and Profit Margin.

I have read a couple of threads saying that you can do the Cost Price and Percentage in EP but not sure how.

I have tried to do this but I have only the standard settings in EP. No where does it say V_Cost_Price or V_Precentage.

If a person wanted to added these to automatically fill in where would they start.

Thank you for any help on this.

I am new to easy populate, and in fact new to ZC.

I have worked out how to setup the file to import my products, but the site operates without product images at all. When I import the products they have no image defined (field is blank), but I get the no image image for every product after the upload.

I guess I am missing something here. How do I prevent any product images from displaying, including the no image image?

Regards

Fred

sellfourless - standard EP does not support these fields, you would need to have a look at Advanced EP but I am not sure if this is included. Have a look at Langer site it should tell you what fields it will include.

FredZ - Set your Product Image - No Image picture in Admin>Conf>Images to blank and that should fix the issue.

I went to Admin|Configuration|Images and made "Product Image - No Image picture" blank (nothing in field). "Product Image -No Image status is set to "0"

The No Picture Available still appears

I note that if I manually edit any product to remove the no image picture then "Download Complete tab-delimited .txt file to edit" I can see that the product I edited has nothing in the "v_products_image" where all the rest have "no_picture.gif". If I remove all of the "no_picture.gif" entries and upload the file again it says all the files have been updated, but the No Picture Available still appears.

I am sure I am missing something here, but for the life of me a can't work it out.

Any comments would be helpful.

Try removing/renaming the no_image.gif, thus Zencart will not see the file! Not the best fix but may work!

Edit probally wont, but are you saw that your web browser may just be not reading the updated page ! Clear the history and check !!
