Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

buildingblocks Have a look at this file.

Please note this has no guarantees or warranties only use on a test site until you are totally happy it works as I HAVE NOT TESTED IT :no:
New Complete Download file without categories and no duplicates. Complete - No Categories
Very Important Note
If you upload a new product in this format it will not have a category, so you would need to set a category manually. As I have not tested it it may have other issues so TEST, TEST, TEST

Thanks. I'll check it out.

On another note the descriptions in a working store contain simple html <br> tags. We exported these items to EP and we are encountering a problem that when importing this easy populate file into another store, the descriptions end up getting extra <br> tags inserted

When I look at the descriptions in open office calc they look just like this

HTML Code:

---

<b>Title:</b>
<br>
Magazine Ad For Sunkist oranges
<br><br>
Measures: 10x10
<br><br>
<b>More Information</b>
<br>
Womans Day Sunkist Lemons Ad June 1962 issue.
<br><br>
<b>Condition</b>
<br>
Vintage ad with some fade, light edge wear with torn edges on one side.

---

and when importing into zen cart this way, extra <br> tags are being added making large gaps between lines so the descriptons don't look nice.

But if I manually edit the descriptions and merge the lines like this:

HTML Code:

---

<b>Title:</b><br>Magazine Ad For Sunkist oranges<br><br>Measures: 10x10<br><br><b>More Information</b><br>Womans Day Sunkist Lemons Ad June 1962 issue. <br><br><b>Condition</b><br>Vintage ad with some fade, light edge wear with torn edges on one side.

---

and then import the file to zen cart, the description displays as it should. No extra <br> tags get added.

Any ideas how to get around this problem without having to manually edit each and every description?

buildingblocks By the looks of it you may have carriage returns '\n' and line breaks '<br>' in the descriptions. So when you import depending on the browser you will see two lines instead of one.

thanks again scrat. The \n was it.

Just thought I'd poke my head in and say hi. I've logged in for the first time in like 9months and had a number of PM's. I only had one client who used ZenCart, and I moved them over to the now defunct Chromium Cart which merged back into Open-Cart, which is nice and free too.

After the joke that was version ZenCart v2.0 I got sick of it.

I now work a lot on CS-Cart, which is really fabulous. It has a couple issues here and there, but it's 300% better than ZenCart, but not free.

So I don't really have any use to work on EP 1.2.5.5CSV anymore.

But to all you who still use ZenCart, you have my sympathy and condolences.

Thanks,
Adam

Hi -
Am using EP 1.2.5.4 which works just great.
However, I am trying to do a model no./attributes download, but every time I try the system crashes and I get a message
"[an error occurred while processing this directive] ".
Any suggestions as to what I can do?
Thanx in advance
Rufus

rufusclc If you have not changed any code I would suggest it is a server issue, whether Mysql or PHP.
Have you tried a download to /temp folder on the server ?

If you haven't changed any code and you are using Langer 1.2.5.4 version, I would have a word with your server support, as Mysql or PHP may need a restart.

Hi,

I got a "product debris" warning message from EP which suggested using phpmyAdmin to remove the debris.

however, i cannot find the product_id in phpmyAdmin.

in the store export file, i see 2 product_id's for 1 product_model. When i search in phpmyAdmin by product_model, it only shows 1.

How do i find that debris?

w2e This is a 'known' bug in V1.2.5.4 if you search this thread you will find out how to remove the warning

it's not a bug though.

my store export files do show 2 id with the same products...?
