Langer,
Is there any possibility that you can, or will add a function in EP that will allow the use of XML files for uploading products? Many suppliers are begining to add XML as an option.
Thanks

HI to everyone,
i stumbled accross EP for the first time today to help me batch create multiple items.
The install has gone with no problems however after downloading the Download Complete tab-delimited .txt file to edit section
I edit my changes in excel and save it back as a tab deliminated text file.
after importing the file i get the following results:
File uploaded.
Temporary filename: /tmp/phpxvhmCG
User filename: complete-test.txt

q1. Why does it report skipped! - model - no catagory for this product? Would this be the next line in excel that is empty?
q2. Although EP reports the above products are UPDATED! no products are enterd in to my product list within zen cart.
I notice if i give each product an individual v_products_model name EP updates and adds each of the above. howveer i do not want this, all of the products need to be named "Home Range"
When all product model names are the same EP does not change anything within ZC and no new products are added.
If there is any other information i can provide please ask.
Thanks for what appears to be a great add-on.
Zencart version 1.3.6
EP version 1.2.5.4
Tricky Ireland:
q1:That is for the last row that's blank
q2: Is the model name Home Range? They have to have different model numbers (i.e. Home Range1, Home Range2, etc) otherwise EP will think they're all the same thing. I don't know if there can be spaces in the model number.

Thanks for the quick reply pete,Quote:

when creating a new product manually it is not a requirement to enter the model number!
When leaving the column blank in EP the product does not get added and EP complains of the blank column.
Thanks again
I would say that the EP file has to be modified in a way that it doesn't have to take the model number. That's the only way I can think of unless you wanna use a way other than EP to upload your products. I've always known that you must have a model number for EP to work - thats sorta what the program bases everything in the feed on.
Pete
Thanks again Pete, not a big deal, the model number will be useful when searching the catalogue so all is well that ends well! :yes:Quote:

There were some commented fields but none are this one. I thought it'd be a good idea to ask how to add it instead of messing up my EP.

For anyone who was interested in adding the product sort order through EP here's how I finally did it.
Adding Product Sort Order:
1) Open Admin/easypopulate.php
2) Insert following:
Line 389: 'v_products_sort_order'=> $iii++,
Line 457: p.products_sort_order as v_products_sort_order,
Line 601: p.products_sort_order as v_products_sort_order,
Line 1290: 'v_products_sort_order',
Line 1439: p.products_sort_order as v_products_sort_order,
Line 1848: sort_order,
Line 1917: products_sort_order,
Line 1931: '".zen_db_input($v_products_sort_order)."',
Line 1965: '", products_sort_order="'.zen_db_input($v_products_sort_order) .
I hope this helps! :D
I'm running Zencart 1.3.6, and have just installed EP 2.75a-Zen-Cart v1.2. EP shows up in Tools (ZC Admin), but not in Configuration. I've checked twice that all of the EP files are in the right places. Suggestions?
