EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Hi All,
I have a fresh install of latest version (1,5) on which I've installed EP4. I have imported some products from an oscommerce shop
and I'm trying to move products from one category to another and I get this warning messages in the proccess :

WARNING! - Model: .... - Products name: ".................΄΄" exceeds max. length: 64
SKIPPED! - Model: ..... - Category name: ".................." exceeds max. length: 32

can I change the setting for max length somehow ?

thanks in advance

on second review it has something to do with utf8 categories and product names because none of the above categories or products exceeds the given length (the category is 22 chars and the size in the database is 32 so the length is not the problem). Perhaps someone expert in php can enlighten us?

I have not come across this issue myself and have tested on both 1.5 (UTF8), and 1.39h with/without UTF8. How are you creating your CSV file?

very much appreciate this mod, brilliant :D

from within EP4 I produce a Complete products (with meta tags) and
then I edit the file in libre office and I only change the category
of some products.

just wondering when im trying to import products that are on special that it seems to state that they are products that are not available till 01.09.2012...
yet the other products i import(with the same date) show available from 09/01/2012...
does the specials part use a different date format??

I am unfamiliar with Libre Office. Could you try using Open Office, and refer to an earlier post with instructions on exporting the CSV? OO will let you choose your character encoding on export.

Date handling "should" be the same... can you try using the "Model/Price/Qty (with Specials)" and see if there is a difference? There shouldn't be.

Spid3r,

Under Configuration -> EasyPopulate 4
What is your "Upload File Date Format" set to?
