multiple items

[schoolboy]

So you didnt actually mange to find a solution? you had to list them all seperatly?

my problem is that we have over 50 paintings, so to list them seperatly it would mean making 150 item listings!!!

We had over 400 artists (painters) listing 8 to 12 works each (nearly 4000 "originals".

We sent them a spreadsheet template (based on easy populate) and told them to fill it in.

We collated all the returned spreadsheets into one EP file, and loaded that on the site.

4000+ original products, (plus 4000+ prints and 4000+ giclee) took about 3 - 4 hours to re-configure and load.

Easy... with Easy Populate.

ok, so I have a really dumb question... what is easy populate? I use wiserhosting, which atomatically installed Zencart, so I do not have it on my machine. can easy populate still be used? or do I need to install Zencart locally?


p.s- thanks

Easy Populate Standard, v1.2.5.5: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=395

Creating 150 separate product isn't as difficult as you might think. You can always create the product for the original and copy that information to the other 2 categories (prints and cards). The same image would be used for the prints and cards. You'd just have to edit the product informtation to suit (size, price, weight etc).
