Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

Can someone please help me...

I am having trouble uploading my data sheets. I have tried everything! To Start I know its not my data. I am uploading a copy of Complete Catalog from Easy Populate with all but 1 record stripped out.

When I upload it it spins for about 3 minutes and returns like its trying to hit my back end again but the page looks like the front end (And its blank with my sites template)

DOMAIN/admin/easypopulate.php?split=0

If I refresh or click on the URL and hit enter it goes back to easy populate but nothing is updated.

I am running:

Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8

If cvs file size too big can't do it?

EP 1.2.5.4 will not work with ZC 1.5.

Try EP 4.0 Beta.

Can you provide a link to that thread?:smile:

Just found it.

Anybody can explain an easy simple way to insert a link into the admin menu without being rocket scientist to add a new addon?

I try to install an Excel populate addon but seems to be easier to forget the 1.5 and just stuck with 1.3.9....

Hi

I import large amounts of new products into my database with this version of EP. All of the products get uploaded to a single 'Upcoming Products' category, and only have name, short description, price and stock information on it.

However, for some reason, EP assigns random manufacturers to the products I upload. I then have to re-download the full EP, and delete the wrongly assigned manufacturers (this only happens with the 'Upcoming Products' category).

How can I solve this, and should I update to EP 4 beta?

Thanks

I have the 1.5 version of my ep contribution ready and will upload to downloads section this weekend. Seems to do everything cleanly if you have problems please pm meits easier

There are few ideas that help here:

1) Remember to make new categories by hand in the admin when using more than one language BEFORE uploading new EP file
2) If you didn't remember to do (1), remove ONLY that category that is a problematic one, create it again (and then you can add also other language names at once) and update the site again with your EP file
OR
3) you can go to the Dr.Byte solution to remove the problematic language by taking first a "backup" of the products with EP, then saving somewhere all the category names you already have in the problematic language (if you have plenty of categories, it is faster to create them again by copy-pasting the names rather than re-inventing them) and then removing the problematic language in Localization -> Languages and adding it back. It will get all the product content from the working default language, so check you have all categories existing now (count the amount if many) and then upload again the EP backup file and you get all your products in that language back too. Then you still need to copy-paste the category names back to your previously problematic language.

Before trying the number 3, check if the solutions 1 or 2 helps you since those are fast to test.
