That is not a default item - but a 3rd party addon

BUT as kobra points out, use the easy populate forum thread for future queries

Ok, I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong spot, but I need some serious help with EP. My supplier has an option to import a CSV, Tab delimilet, or a file formatted to run with ep. But the version they are recommending is 2.76i-MS2. It's not working with my cart.

The version that does work with my cart is 1.2.5.4. Now I uploaed the file, and split the file. It worked. It placed everything in the right spots, with the images and everything, but out of 2,146 items it only uploaded 21 items. I'm getting an error code after the upload:

No model field in record. This line was not importedDDDSD42707 | isimages/D | 5.5 Inch S | Collection | 248.6 | 33.0 | 0 | Meyda | At Home | Lighting | Taxable Go | "Inactive" |

Can someone please help, Thanks

Did you follow WIKI instructions re UNIQUE model number for EVERY product, with EOREOR at end of line for every product..

Yes I tried that, and I don't really have the time right now to rearrange a huge database, haha. I signed up for a website called Inventorysource.com as a dropship supplier. So far so good. They give you an easy populate data export option that works somewhat OK, haha. I couldn't get all the products on my site, even after I split the files, So I signed up for their Automated service, and I'll be damned if they didn't have 50,000 products onto my site with in a couple hours!
I logged onto my server and noticed they placed a couple PHP files on my server called:

xmlPopulate_zencart.php, and xmlPopulate_zencart_db.php

I'm not sure how they run this, but would like to know how they did it.
