ezpoulate help needed

[fishingmaniac]

Well here goes. Totally new - not zenned yet - but feeling the power for sure.

I've done a basic set up of the store - 10 products, 9 "call for price", 1 "add to cart" ready for testing, paypal, authorize.net , now to start making some money...

Problem: entering product one by one: I'm growing old doing this real fast...

Solution found maybe(!): ezpopulate version 1.2.5.4 (post I read said most reliable)
for my zen-cart 1.3.8a v1.3.8

Trying to follow th install instructions:

1) Change the name of the "admin" directory in this package to suit your zencart installation

my directory is like:

/public_html/admin (so I'm guessing no change necc, I think, ...I'm new, -no "php for dummies" yet)

2) The temp folder is configured to reside in your store directory. If you store is not in the
site root (eg. /mystore/) then the temp directory must also go in this directory.

(Where is my store directory? I have nothing called "mystore" or "temp")(although I did see a tmp in the root)

3) If you want to re-name the uploads (temp) folder, ensure that you configure Easy Populate to
reflect this change after installation

(wha?)

4) Upload all files in their respective directories.

(I would if I could find them)

5) Go to Admin -> Tools -> Easy Populate. If prompted to install Easy Populate, click on the
link provided.

(I would like to get to this point - help needed)

I have a csv file ready to go, maybe...., how many csv values are ideal?

One more question: Is there a way to add a field for % mark up from cost or down from list?
Thank you.
