Thanks for the reply.

I've learned the hard way about images being deleted when an item is deleted from admin. That is not something I want at all, not sure what to do about that though.

I've...

Now attempting to purge my entire inventory and start from scratch by deleting categories, but it seemed to be too much for the server as the admin page became inaccessible and eventually my site...

Update to my last post...

So I've upgraded to EP4 now. I am getting seriously confused though. When I go to 'Tools' > 'Easy Populate 4', I don't see any option to download my inventory with all...

Can anyone help with this please?

My install of Easy Populate is working fine, but is missing from the 'configuration' menu.

I downloaded what looks to be the latest version from...

Thanks for the reply. I'm unsure if I should upgrade or not. I'm a bit puzzled as the documentation says "NO streaming upload or download" but at the same time "To download your exported file, you...

Steady as she goes... Yeeha! :clap:

Aha, that seems to have fixed it?

Actually, I want to say, the worst thing for me about Zen Cart is both those configure.php files having the same name! That is really confusing, it is so hard to...

OK, we've got a pattern here. It's only working for the first 15 minutes of every hour so I'm pretty sure it's the rotating database users section that is causing the problem. I'm going to try...

Ah, but...

$dbuser[] = 'user_2';
$db_pwd[] = '***';

$dbuser[] = 'user_3';
$db_pwd[] = '***';

$dbuser[] = 'user_4';
$db_pwd[] = '***';

^ Done.

I am a bit concerned about the way I've set the database users up though and wonder if I have bothced that in some way. I tried to set up rotating database users but maybe didn't get it...

The cart on my main page is now permanently down.

Sorry!
There seems to be a problem connecting to our database. Please give us a few minutes to remedy the problem. Thank you.

...is all I can...

Seems to be OK now. Should I just go ahead and delete the old installation, is there a way to deactivate it without removing the files, or would that be more of a security risk?

Thanks for the response.

The edits look to have been saved fine...

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

I take it that would be right for the root...

I followed the instructions on https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=122 to change my install directory to the root of my site, it seemed to work OK at first, but now I am just...

Ah, thanks a lot, that's fixed it! :clap:

I've tried to get round this by edit my .htaccess file with

The database itself is being mangled somehow, when I dowload the file I can see many products are duplicated - there are 7321 lines where there should be 4112. Where a product is duplicated the...

Another problem I may as well mention while I've got a thread open - I followed the instructions on http://www.ipage.com/knowledgebase/beta/article.bml?ArticleID=1382&type=How%20To#Nugget_2320 to try...

Sorry, I should have said Easy Populate not just EP... Maybe this thread should go to the community add-ons section but I don't know for sure if it is EP that's causing the problem.

I was...

I'm getting this error repeatedly:

I don't need a drop-down menu or empty field for customers to enter state/province when estimating shipping, shipping is by country only.

How can I remove it please?

I see. But the issues that you mentioned before about losing attributes and historical order data won't apply to me as 1) I don't have any products atributes and 2) I don't have any historical order...

NB I'm not sure if this will help but I can confidently say my spreadsheet product IDs are currently the same as they were when I uploaded, I have exactly 3665 products on my sheet and the order...

Wow, this is great stuff, many thanks.

As soon as I read your post I went straight to the tab-delimited text file, opened it with Notepad++, and sure enough, what did I see?
...

I'll bear that in mind.

I guess at least with my inventory up (in spite of all these incorrect additional categories) and a working store (apparently) the best thing to do would be to bide my time...

Wow, that is a bit of a suprise. :shocking:

I don't quite know what to make of that as my main sale items are 12" singles.

The galling thing is, all my stock is uploaded and my shop displays...

So just use letters, nothing else? I don't know what is the exact defintion of a special character...

Thanks for the responses.

I did try to uninstall EP using /easypopulate.php?langer=remove but nothing happened.

Here's a sample of my file for what it's worth:
...

I have Zen Cart 1.3.9h installed with Easy Populate 1.2.5.4

I am just having nothing but problems with it.

When I did finally manage to get an upload of my inventory (3700 products) it came out...

In Zen Cart v1.3.9h / EP 1.2.5.4

Does anyone know why pretty much all my products have come up linked to 2 categories? They are only supposed to be linked to one, I'm having to manually remove...

I am using Zen Cart v1.3.9h and EP 1.2.5.4

It did take me several attempts to install EP from different versions so I may have messed up the install.

Importing my whole file of 3700 products...

I think I can answer that - look in catalog/cache

I have EP v.1.2.5.4 and Zen Cart v 1.3.9h

When I try to upload a test product I get:

Upload Results

File uploaded.
Temporary filename: /tmp/phpUO9G3T
User filename: test2.txt
Size: 2159

Thans for the reply :)

Installation Successfull! (with .4)

many thanks :clap:

Bumping - anyone have any ideas please? Am I asking in the the right sub-forum? Thanks

Additional - just noticed something fishy... easypopulate.php local and online versions were really different sizes... I've tried to overwrite the server-side copy but they're still not the same...

Hi folks
I have Zen Cart 1.3.9h up and running but I'm having problems installing Easy Populate 1.2.5.6.

The instructions just say:
1) Change the name of the "admin" directory in this package to...
