Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Thank you for the reply.

I've tried looking for " at the beginning of cells, but they don't appear untill I do the find option and sift through " for inches in descriptions, then will come across one at the beginning of a cell, but when I click to edit, it isn't there for me to delete it.

I will try your suggestions and see what happens.

:unsure:does anyone have a easy populate for dummies anywhere. I have it installed but not sure where to go from there?

I am using EP 1.2.5.4. I am trying uploading files priced with attributes but each product uploading does not have the Price by Attributes setting on so i have to go to each one and turn it on. Not fun.

I have the setting v_products_priced_by_attribute for each product to "1". Should it be another number?

Also, I would like to upload the sort order for products, but that does not seem to upload. I do have a column for the sort order.

v_products_sort_order

can someone explain what each of these things do? :D

Not sure if this is where I post this?

I have easy populate installed. When I try to download the Model/Attributes file to either file or to Temp. This is what happens.

I click on the link to download the file. It acts like it is doing something then goes to a blank page. No offer to save to file. nothing.

When I click on save to temp it acts like it does something and goes to a blank page. I check the temp folder and it has a file in there. Has most of the products listed.

I get no error messages of any kind.

I do have SEO urls installed. Not sure if this would change anything or not.

I am using Zen cart 1.3.7 and easy pop 1.2.5

any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I clicked to download the attributes data template using easy populate in admin but at the same time received the following warnings:

Progress: >
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/dealbyet/public_html/admin/includes/easypopulate/classes/eclipse/FileWriter.php on line 63

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/dealbyet/public_html/admin/includes/easypopulate/classes/eclipse/FileWriter.php on line 63

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/dealbyet/public_html/admin/includes/easypopulate/classes/eclipse/File.php on line 196

What does these mean?

Some dump questions:

How do you clean out all those files that are created in your temp folder?

Also does the restore file come from the temp file or from the excel file on your pc that you down loaded?

If it comes from the temp folder: why does have to do that.

Totaly lost!:smartalec:

Thanks for all of your help!!

Not sure if this got answered elsewhere... what you are asking for is not supported in EP. However, I wish it were... I really want this functionality too.

We need to be able to copy and rename a subcatagory, including all products, just as we can duplicate a product.

Not sure this is the right place for this post as I believe it is a zencart admin functionality enhancement. I have seen this elsewhere in enhancement requests from a year back. Not sure if there are plans to implement it.

Hi All,

I recently was suffering from some upload issues on EP that gave me errors on lines 1223 and lines 1301 in EP.php.

I think it is because my catalog is starting to get big, (about 700 subcats on four levels so far) but few products yet, about 25 actual ids.

Anyway,

I split out the new stuff I wanted to upload, but stupidly saved it as a CSV file. When I tried to upload the CSV, it transfers and says, "upload complete", but it does not display the proper feedback, such as:

UPDATED! - Model: Sony-NP-BG1 | camera/Son | Sony NP-BG | | | | | | 29.95 | 0.5 | | 10/28/2007 | 0 | Sony | Camera | Sony | Sony-Cyber | | | | | Taxable Go | 1 |

It has been posted elsewhere, but I thought I would write it again since others are still having trouble with this.

Uploads must be in Tab delimited format. Also, if your catalog is big, upload your changes to the temp directory and process the changes from there, rather than the 'upload'. That way you can ensure that your upload was correct (using filezilla).

This seems to be important for some reason even if the upload is small (ie: if the catalog is big, and the upload is small, trying to upload with the "single step" creates the 1223 and the 1301 errors.

I also made the attributes 777 on my temp diectory. But the real problem for me was the (duh) CSV.

Hope this helps somebody! :flex:
