Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

SPH,

Looks like the one you are using is dated June 28th 2008.

Here is EP 1.2.5.4 Mod.
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1633

You can add the sort order by modifying the weight info in Easy Populate .php. There are some instruction in this forum, but I did not look for them.

I'll see if I can find them. It works as I have used it.

Shadowcast,

What's appearing twice?

Are you talking about EP or something else?

the product naming is appearing twice, sometimes it get replace by the image, the product names are invisible, they only appear when you hover over it.


Also, how can one add sort to the list in excel? and must it be specifily between some of the commands?

shadowcast I do not see the duplicates and you may just have some kind of admin setting wrong for your needs. If positive it is an EZ Pop problem provide more detailed information.

If a general sitewide problem post a thread in general questions area

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.

I will take a look at the file and see if I can do what you need to most recent EZ Pop version. If it takes me ten minutes or less I will shoot you a PM so you can retrieve the file.

I'll take a look Monday

Its a catch 22 you can't ez pop data that has not been configured someplace. At some point we all have to do the mindless data entry to get our initial setup done. This may be the case in your situation.

Also try this thread. I have not really read it but it does cover your possible need. Looks somewhat dubious so I don't know that I'd go this route myself as nothing is as easy as it appears.

Thanks for the help, Jimmy, and sorry to have taken so long to get back to you.

I haven't yet had time to do this, but if I can't manage, you'll hear back from me again :D

so has anyone tried adding a sort column?

As the field products_sort_order is in the PRODUCTS table in the database, it is possible to incorporate this into easy populate. (I have successfully added many additional fields in the products tables to my copy of EP.)

The technique for adding fields is described here:-

In fact, I have zipped up my copy of easypopulate.php (just the FILE that goes into the admin folder) and my copy will put in both the products sort order AND the master categories ID.

The two new columns in your spreadsheet will be:

v_products_sort_order | v_master_categories_id

You can either unzip and use my file as-is, or use it to compare with the original (following the tutorial by lankeeyankee).

Naturally, if you use my file (in place of the ORIGINAL in the admin folder), then you will backup your original file first.
