I am trying to load images using and image url supplied by my distributor
ex:
https://shopzeus.com/product_images/...IF-2159631.jpg
I look in the product input in the admin and it's there in the upload but it does not show up in my shop. What am I doing wrong.
Two simple questions
1. Can I import into zen cart using easy populate, ATTRIBUTES export from (CRE LOADED Easy Populate)? The text file format looks the same for both.
If the answer is YES then...
2. What will happen to my existing attribute IDs and option, and their values? Will it just append and associate product models with the imported file attribute ids etc.. OR will it overwrite my existing attributes for exisitng product models?
why I ask this is because, I am using 2 different suppliers who supply the same products. One having more than other, I have already imported from supplier 1 and its all seems ok but supplier 2 export has the same products too besides new ones.
I am not sure what to do ? can anyone please advise? thanks
I have searched, but cannot seem to find the answer to my problem.
I am using Zen Cart v. 1.3.8a
I am using Easy Populate v1.2.5.4
Everything works fine, except that my product descriptions all get truncated.
My Easy Populate settings are as follows:
Title ------------------------------------ Value
Uploads Directory------------------------------ temp/
Upload File Date Format-----------------------m-d-y
Default Raw Time ------------------------------9:00:00
Split File On # Records ----------------------- 300
Maximum Category Depth ------------------- 7
Upload/Download Prices Include Tax ------- false
Make Zero Qty Products Inactive------------ false
Smart Tags Replacement of Newlines------- true
Advanced Smart Tags------------------------ false
Debug Logging ------------------------------- true
I am only adding about 50 entries per Easy Populate run (have tried it with as few as 5, still same problem).
I have all products added via Easy Populate added to the same directory, and then I move them to their proper directory manually later.
And every single time, the end of the product description is always cut off.
Now, I have been adding html tags to format the descriptions, but I also remove all blank lines and such as well.
ANy help on this would be very appreciated!!
The truncation is probably MSExcel's fault, not EP. I experienced the same problem and then switched to OpenOffice and used that to work with EP files.
You can also use a good text editor to work with the tab-delimited files but you lose the advantage of WYSIWYG that a spreadsheet offers.
I'm reasonably experienced in EP, so I sometimes use Crimson Editor to work with long product descriptions which I then Upload via EP. In these cases, I just have the Model Number column, the Description column and the EOREOR column.
That should be easy enough to check... I have all of the text files I created for the uploadingQuote:

Hi,
My first post in this thread so please go easy.
ZC v. 1.3.8a, EP v.1.2.5.5, just installed on my test site.
Just imported the online site into my test site.
Tools -> EP says:
5 partially deleted product(s) found! Delete this dross to prevent unwanted zencart behaviour by clicking here.
You are seeing this because there are references in tables to a product that no longer exists, which is usually caused by an incomplete product deletion. This can cause Zen Cart to misbehave in certain circumstances.
Upon clicking I get this:
http://www.example.com/ladywig/admin...ns/warning.gif Deleting of product data debris failed! Please see the debug log in your uploads directory for further information.
Then the log says this:
Product debris corresponding to the following product_id(s) cannot be deleted by EasyPopulate:
110:6e5c303399d5f09249685463bae53bd4

It is recommended that you delete this corrupted data using phpMyAdmin.
The problem is: how do I delete corrupt data using phpMyAdmin?
Thanks.
