Not 100% sure how to answer this question. As written (which may be related to a language issue) the answer is yes because issues that are identified are corrected. As perhaps understood to be meant, I have been able to successfully use EP4 as provided from GitHub on ZC 1.5.6c. Currently, one of the added features is not 100% complete.
The new feature of using the extension of _en or similar to denote a specific language works for the full import; however, does not for one or two of the other imports.
Note, that this new feature has been incorporated to allow continued use of the import file(s) as they were (a language dependent field ending with the language_id associated with how that database is setup) but it also offers some override type features where if both the language_code (e.g. en, de) and language_id were used then one overrides the other.
Further note, that although I chose to be somewhat forceful in discussion with a recent user at the cost of being seen as a jerk, the information obtained led to a solution that resolved the issues that otherwise were going to be ignored.
As far as the software with Zen Cart 1.5.6c there is nothing done to that version of software affecting this, the issues if any are or expected to be related to php versions.
Re: EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread
ZC 1.5.6a Classic Clone.
CheckBoxTextBoxIconV1.0.3
EasyPopulate-4.master-ZC
one_page_checkout-2.0.5
ColumnGridLayout_for_155f
Using two "Product Types"
(Type 1) Product General and (Type 4) Document Product.
When I export with ep4 the v_products_type column is correct.
( I get 1 & 4 )
When I import all type 4 get changed to type 1.
Searched all morning but could not find a solution.
Is there a setting that over rides product types when importing with EP4?
In Admin "editing " category mode (Type) doesn't have any effect on the Product Type setting of products already entered.
When entering new products in Admin the Type setting works correctly
Thank You in Advance for your time.

While there are few "restrictions" really placed on the software, one that is present is by default allowing the product type to be changed on update. That said, because it is a product field, there is the ability to incorporate it as a user defined field in the configuration area. In this way, updates will attempt to modify the products_type field so long as products_type is identified there.

I've tried to look further into what might cause a change in the status and see that it seems if the v_products_type field is not present in the import file, then the value might be changed. Could you please identify the presence of that field in an import file where this type conversion has occurred? Have a few ideas about how to address what appears to be a todo item, though I thought it had been otherwise addressed.

The v_products_type field is in the import file and contains the desired values ( 1 & 4)
As I indicated the export file contains the correct value 1&4 in the v_products_type field which was entered/selected via the Admin interface.
Uploading the same file flips all v_products_type back to 1.
Thanks,

Anyways, I wanted to acknowledge the issue and am trying to put together even just some code here to address it, but at the moment I'm a little short on resources.
I do "think" that if the field were added as a user identified field that the file's value would override the code's attempt to set/maintain a value.

Cool! No rush. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking some setting.
I'll see if I can find the fix in the code, a work around or upgrade to the newest version.
Haven't used this feature before and because I'd like to display "Quantities on Hand" on specific items it will come in handy.
This Plugin has been such a time saver I can't imagine using ZC without it.
Thanks, For Your time!!!!
Re: EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread
Hi all. Upgrading from Easy Populate 1.2.5.4
Please confirm that I'm understanding this correctly:
Old version: v_categories_name_1, v_categories_name_2, v_categories_name_3 (etc.) was Category, Sub-Category, Sub-sub-Category (etc.) (ie. Vegetable, Tomato, Roma, for example)
New version: v_categories_name_1, v_categories_name_2, v_categories_name_3 (etc.) are now languages (ie. English, French, German, etc. would be Vegetable, Légume, Gemüse, etc.)
To get sub-categories, I need to put all words in the v_categories_name_1 (for English) separated by carats Vegetable^Tomato^Roma
Correct?
Thanks.
