Was this ever changed? How is it done?
I have loaded the version for zencart 1.3.8 with Easy Populate. My website is a bookstore with lots of new fields like reference, version, binding, index, red letters, etc. I have not loaded a small sample as of yet. Wondering how to get the extra fields on my access file that is tab-delimited.
I have been searching through the forums and have not found the answer.
Hello, Can EasyPopulate be used to upload bulk Digital Goods?
I dont see the field in the example files. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JR
Thanks you for your help, i will try that. I did not know about the "9" to remove the product from catalog. That is very very useful!!
Thanks
Hi I recently installed easy populate and im a bit lost on how to use it, so far i've Selected the first link under
"Download EP and Froogle Files
"Download Complete tab-delimited .txt file to edit (Attributes Not Included) "
and downloaded this, i then went to the .txt file and copy pasted it to xcel 2007 and saw how easy it was to edit everything, unfortunately...when i save it after making corrections back to a .txt file, i try to upload the file to "Upload EP > insert into DB" and it does nothing. Then i was thinking if there was a way to upload this file manually with my ftp ... but Im not sure where abouts in my phpadmin where i would do this. Could someone help point me in the right direction?

Find the file and right click to "Open with" and scroll to Excel.
Do all your editing on the open Excel file.
When complete, "Save As" and it will notice it is a tabdelimited.txt file and say yes. close the Excel program and click no to save the changes. (that part refers to if you changed any cell width or height).
Now that you have a tabdelimited.txt file you can go back to tools/EP and upload either as a single file, or split file. Unless you ftp'd it to your temp directory.
Let me know.
in response to this, i read the previous page and found most of my answer, does it matter what you name the text file? and when your ;inserting from temp... do you have to add the file extension? Is it normal for this upload to take forever?Quote:

How big's the file. Look under your "Server Version" and see if it says 127.0.0.1
That should be "Database Host" localhost -------

if it has something to do with the database data size... i think my host has a limit of like 2 mb or something.... is there anyway to get around this if thats the case without contacting my host.... like uploading / copy pasting somewhere in phpmyadmin?
but theres a prob with this idea because the file is only 600kb as .txt file... unless its represented by "database data size" in which case im trying to upload 3 mb with 2 mb cap????
