Yes, you are encourage to rename this to something obscure!. The root directory is the same location that you uploaded your site to.
You do have to manually create temp and upload it if it does not exist on your site.
Hope I explained that clearly.
thank you so much! i got it working now...whew <----> :blush:
That's fantastic, thanks Chadd!Quote:

Custom Products Fields
Product Short Descriptions: FALSE
Product Unit of Measure: FALSE
Product UPC Code: FALSE
Google Product Category: FALSE
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price: FALSE
I would like to set the first of those, Product Short Descriptions, to TRUE. Where are the settings that affect these? I don't see anything under the Configuration/Easy Populate 4 menu.
I would also like to export the number in stock.
Thanks for working on this great mod.

Product Unit of Measure (UoM) is my own unpublished mod (may get around to it once done with EP) that lets you ad the UoM to the price: $12.95 ea
Product UPC can be added from Numinix's products fields (not all his are supported here at this time).
The Products short description is quite old. I don't know if it's been updated for 1.39 or 1.50.

I see.
I didn't ask the client why they wanted this, but I'm guessing they don't need the entire description in the download. Is there a way that I can customize the script to just use the first 100 characters of the description or something like that?
Rob
It may be possible, but you risk them using this data for the import and truncating any existing descriptions.
As I said, they only want to use this for downloading. I'll take a look at the files and see what I can find.

I never did finish it for export though since i've been busy with zm core dev.
I doubt i'll ever work on a zencart native version of EP again, but i'd still be interested in seeing your code.
(especially since the next version of the zenmagick admin mostly works as a dropin replacement for the zc admin without any file modifications)
