Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Milo-

I'm new to EP myself, so I don't have any real awareness of how the mod works.

With that said I onserve an apostrophe in your product (name?) which could be a contributing factor. Apostophe's negatively affect operations of a number of mods, and even contributes to Zen Cart search issues.

Possibly you may be able to apply an "escape" solution?

I made a seprate spread sheet.
Put one of the items that worked ok and added it with the rest

The thing is the one item updates ok and then the rest of the products dont.
They get this error:

mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /usr/home/milobloom/domains/timeofyear.com/public_html/admin/easypopulate.php on line 1704

I painstaking looked at the sheet and cant figure out any diffrences between the lines that work and the lines that dont. It doesnt make any sence?

Does anyone know what I should be looking for??

To follow up, can anyone confirm the latest version of EP is here:
http://www.modhole.com/modhole/index..._Document_id=2

Which shows EP_v1.2.5.4.zip with "uploaded" date of Jan 03 2006.

After I downloaded this file I find /admin/easypopulate.php is the latest file modified file in the package with a date of Nov 20, 2005. The included readme is dated Nov. 18, 2005 and history.txt dated Sept 02, 2005. (if I'm not mistaken the history file is two and half months behind).

Can anyone confirm the download above is the latest release (and no changes or patches released since this version) and if it runs fine on Zen Cart 1.3.0.2?

Thanks for any info,

Woody

Also have the sale maker issue. For any product in the category which I load manually - the sale applies. For any that were uploaded/edited by easy populate it does not. All in one category.

Why do you not use easy populate to make the sale as well ? It has columns for that and I haven't ever seen it not work even in Zen version 1.3.2

Hello! I'm having a bit of trouble installing Easy Populate. I've copied all the files from the install into the relevant directories. But when I go into Admin>Tools>Easypopulate it gives me a blank screen.

I've tried typing admin/easypopulate.php?langer=install onto my stores URL, but it doesn't do anything - still a blank window.

I've also tried Admin>Tools>Install SQL patches - as recommended - This added the Easy Populate screen to Admin>Configuration>Easy Populate which seems to work, but there is still nothing happening to the option in the tools directory. I've checked the permissions of all the files and set the PHP files to read, write, execute, but to no avail!

Any ideas anyone?

Sale maker manages pricing on a categories basis, whereas specials is products based.

Go to admin -> Tools -> Store Manager and reset master categories ids - salemaker should be fine after this.

You may have a corrupted file - have you tried uploading them again? A blank screen is usually caused by a php error - did you modify the code in easypopulate.php?

Hi.

Any mods known to conflict with EP_v1.2.5.4 ?

Also anyone out there with success running EP_v1.2.5.4 on Zen Cart V.1.2.0.2 ?

Any "gotch-ya's" to be aware of?

Or is it recommended waiting for release of new EP version?

Thanks,
Woody

I'm not sure if this will help, but I had a similar problem when I installed the other night. I had uploaded the Easy Populate zip file (downloaded from modhole) to a linux server and unzipped on the server, then moved the files to the appropriate directories. After seeing the same blank screens as you, I looked at the files (with vim) and found that a couple of files had ^M characters (from dos/windows) at the end of each line. After I cleaned those up, everything worked fine. I suppose that if I had unzipped the files on my PC and FTP'd them, the CRLF characters would have been automatically corrected to the unix LF.

Of course, there are many things that can cause PHP errors and give the blank screen, but I hope this helps!

Thanks Jason. It is always best to upload the files by ftp after unpacking them locally. This way the transfer process will convert the newline to suit your native server environment.
