a dream but I think you can do this? I think many would be very glad to see this in action.
is it possible or it is already being done?
searching but cannot get answer.
Can we export our product from zencart to excel file then import it with TL?
Thank you
I'm getting this error when trying to use the Easy Populate add on
Warning: explode() [function.explode]: Empty delimiter
includes/functions/extra_functions/easypopulate_functions.php on line 241

I re-uploaded that file to the server and that didn't help..

Hi all,
Forgive me for asking a question which has no doubt been asked before but I couldn't find it when searching the thread.
What happens when a store already has products that never used model numbers ?
Well actually I know the answer to this :oops:
When downloading the product file for the first time non of the products had model numbers. After I assigned model numbers to these products and uploaded the file easy populate created new products for each model number. However the old products were still there so basically I was left with each product on the system twice - the original unmodeled one and the created by easy populate modeled sku.
No major issue caused as I had a backup to restore but what's the best way around this (other than assigning model numbers first before running easy populate - we have 5,000+ products in the database)
Rather use NUMINIX's excellent GoogleBase generator and feeder. EasyPop's Froogle feeder is many years out of date and probably does not conform to Google's requirements.Quote:

This is just a rather obscure error message and it is telling you that there is something amiss with the TXT upload file that you are trying to load in the database.Quote:

You MUST make sure that:-
1. Your EasyPop CONFIGURATIONS are correct (admin >>> configuration >>> Easy Populate) - particularly regarding the DATE formatting.
2. When you open your TXT file in a spreadsheet, it is very likely that it will automatically see the date values, and then REFORMAT them. This is a pain in the b u t t and you will have to make sure you REFORMAT the dates to that which EP uses. View a RAW text file of your data to see how EP is formatting your dates:times .
3. Generally, you can safely REMOVE EP columns (from the spreadsheet) that refer to DATES (unless of course you want date DATA in your upload.
The key to successful EP uploads is making sure that the TXT file is 100% accurate (in terms of complying with EP formatting).
SEE MY WIKI on Easy Populate:

Assigning MODEL NUMBERS (in your case) cannot be done with Easy Populate, as EP uses the Model Number field as a PRIMARY reference. This makes sense, as SKU protocol is almost always a case of a SKU number living and dying with an individual, single product. All formal retailers work on this basis. Go into any supermarket and look at the UPN/EAN/SKU/BARCODE . It is UNIQUE on every product. If a product goes off the market, the SKU number goes with it. It is NEVER used again, for any product.Quote:

You will only be able to use EP after you have done these updates via SQL first.
