Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

I'm trying to include Specials Price in download for a category. I downloaded the "Custom" from the pull down menu in the box but no checkbox available for Specials.

I read online that Price/Qty includes Specials price but it does not.

Tried downloading the Complete from the blue links to see what would happen but it just processed for a long time and then kicked me out.

Is there an easy way, or even a way, to include the Specials Price in the download, preferable for a specific category?

Thanks!

v_specials_price is one of the core included ezpop columns. Perhaps you do not have the proper start and or expiration date associated with your special?

We don't enter start and stop dates for our specials. We leave the date fields blank because we don't have set dates for "sale" of a particular product.

Is that the problem?

Just want to clarify my last post further which read:

"We don't enter start and stop dates for our specials. We leave the date fields blank because we don't have set dates for "sale" of a particular product.

I know how to Upload specials price, just can't get it to be included in the download. Want to take a category, including specials price, from one site to another.

nfallat,

Which version of EP are you using? 1.2.5.4?

I just moved my EP file to another server and the specials copied over. I do not have a start or end date involved.

You mentioned the "Custom" pull down, but where did that come from?

By just downloading from the original site and looking at your EP file you should see the v_specials_price has a listing.

Easy Populate Advance2.76d-mod3b Zen-Cart 1.3.8 but soon upgrading to 1.3.9e.

What I mean by "custom" is the pull down menu in the box:

Direkter Download and the pull-down menu. Checking the boxes. No box for specials price.

So I go to the blue links below and try and still nothing brings over "specials" except the Froogle thing but can't do by category and then it does not inlude BOTH` original price AND specials price. Froogle thing shows original price, unless there is a special. When I say "special" I'm talking about the product-by-product $ - insert special price.

Download: Froogle tab-delimited .txt file.txt to edit
Download: Model/Attributes tab-delimited .txt file.txt to edit

I have never used that build and it certainly looks pretty darn old like 3 years old... plus its a pay service so ask them...

I'd go to the free downloads section and get a more recent EZ Pop that does the things you need and this specials issue would be irrelevant as none of the current builds in that area would pose any issue for your problem.

please take a look at www.sgshoppy.com


i dun know how to say it, but its appearing 2 times for some reason, anyone can help? i thought it was model problem but it does not seem like it.

I originally posted this in another area and no one came up with a solution so I am trying in this thread.

I have two stores, both using version 1.3.9d. I use EP 1.2.5.4 to populate and update prices, inventory, etc.

I download an inventory update daily from my supplier. I set up three columns in my spreadsheet, v_products_model, v_products_quantity, EOREOR, and upload those three columns to my sites.

For some reason my prices(v_products_price) are also being changed without having a column for them in the upload. Both stores doing the same thing.

The prices are increasing by 7% each time I update quantities. I think it may be related to the 7% tax rate(FL) I have set. I just recently changed the status on all items to "taxable goods".
I think this started when I changed status. I don't recall any problems prior to the change.

Why is this happening and what can I do?

I've gotten around the problem by uploading a file with just the correct prices after I update the inventory, but I should not have to do that.

thanks

No, not pay. It is downloaded from Zen Cart downloads here (Easy Populate From osc):
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=460

We (nlfallat and I) began using this osc version because it has the ability to download by category and includes a "sort" column to resort products, and those functions work. Only thing is the specials does not work.

Were using 1.2.5.4 until recently, but now see an update (1.2.5.5) here?
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...ort=20a&page=2

Is 1.2.5.5 the latest version of what you (this thread) recommends? I no longer see 1.2.5.4 at Zen Cart downloads (but may have it on my computer, an earlier version.)
