Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Alright I'm assuming this isn't first time asked:

I got Easypopulate installed and everything, I downloaded spreadsheet to use as template, did an entire catagory via excel, saved, uploaded to tempEP directory, imported to DB via Easypopulate.

Code:

But never showed up in my category or cart in general.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I don't use model field that's why that comes up so often :D

Easy Populate will NOT work unless EVERY PRODUCT has
UNIQUE model number.

There was no model number in spreadsheet when I edited it...did I just overlook it or did I download wrong?

Oh never mind misty sorry I was dumb there lol.

Just cataloged 500 items and it worked :D

Thanks

How do I uninstall EP?

I've got something corrupt, and I need to start over.

I'm imagining that there is a DB entry that needs to be removed... but I don't see an uninstall script.

I think I had 2 different versions of EP running... trying to get the latest 1.2.5.5.csv to work...

thanks

Matt

Never mind... I was able to get it uninstalled... and for the record, I went back to Langers 1.2.5.4 ....


What did I do?

removed all reference in configuration_groups and configuration to "Easy Populate" removed all easypopulate*.php files in admin/ and reinstalled per 1.2.5.4 instructions.

Don't forget that I have an Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 tutorial at:

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Easy_Populate

I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am trying to upload about 24,000 inventory items. EP was originally giving me errors, but I quickly fixed that with a fresh install of EP. I guess I did something wrong to in the initial installation.

Now, under my Upload Results, I am getting the green NEW PRODUCT! - Model: 123456 (and so on)

However, when I go to Admin / Categories , it says "25,483 of 28608 Active" next to the Inventory Category (that is the category I directed the upload to). However, when I click on the category...nothing. Through the website, none of the part numbers are coming up in the search, either. Can anyone tell me what went wrong?

I forgot to give the website

www.elcomstore.com

The Inventory category is the first. It shows the 25,483 items next to it. But when you click it, you only get 3 pages of linked product. That was product numbers that were already in other categories. I am working to get all unique numbers, or drop the linked numbers from their original categories (so they end up in the Inventory category as unlinked).

-= Importing with some columns deleted =-

I thought that when I import previously exported and then edited file, where I deleted some columns (but NOT v_products_model neither EOREOR), everything will go fine. But it did not.

I noticed, that when I delete JUST the column named v_products_description_2 (I use just one language, added after installation, english then deleted), import makes all values in this description column BLANK. They are gone.
BUT: When I delete v_products_name_2 column TOO, everything goes OK, nothing (as I hope) deleted.

Does anybody know WHY? Or how to repair it?

Thanks for any suggestions.
