1.3.9h - customers don't display on home page, and prod name/model don't show in edit

[nickgreaves]

Try deleting all the files in the admin directory and reloading a new set from the 1.3.9h distribution

I'll do that as a last resort if I have to, but I wonder if whoever carried out the mods to:

/admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php

might be able to give me a clue as to what has changed between versions g and h (I could do a file compare but, to be honest, my PHP knowledge is very limited so if anyone can point me in the right direction I could try a few individual file replacements first).

replacing/crossing version files is playing with dynamite

As many have posted they are not seeing what you are
So a full reload of the admin side is a better solution

Lines 299, 412, 433 were changed.
Granted, those line numbers refer to an UNMODIFIED version of the file.
Quickly comparing those files in WinMerge will show you what has changed.

I incurred this problem as well:

Now, if I log into admin and attempt to edit a product, I find that its Product Name, Product Description and Products Model fields are blank.

I first incurred it when I tested out a download with 1.3.9g using Easy Populate Advanced 3.0.3, for the Music Product Type. I assumed it was related to the Music Product Type, as I believe I had success downloading the General Product Type, as far as continuing to see the product name and description in the Admin-editable product screen.

But after upgrading to 1.3.9h, I now do not see my products in the Admin-editable product screen for the general product type, either.

I was beginning to think I had just not noticed before that the general type product was blank, but since viewing this message, I believe I had indeed checked that and it was working for the general product type.

I hope this information is a clue for solving this problem, if someone knowledgeable can make some sense of it. I will be forced to return to 1.2.5.4 Easy Populate to avoid this, but I can see that Easy Populate Advanced 3.0.3 is a really strong program that could be a great assist, as helpful for 2nd language sites as 1.2.5.4, if 3.0.3 didn't have this glitch; and since this problem has not come up in any of the 3.0.3 discussions, maybe it was new for the music product type in as of one of the 1.3.9 updates. I didn't start using 3.0.3 until version g.

A version of this problem seems occurring as described in my Post #73, here, http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...otageek&page=8. See Paragraph 3 of Post #73 where it describes that I had blank descriptions in the Admin-editable product screen, but the descriptions show in the cart.

I hope this information sheds some light on this blank Admin product screen problem.

I don't see how this thread's main issue has anything to do with EasyPopulate.

I am upgrading 9g to 9h right now and before overwriting includes/version.php I notice the new file in 9H is older than 9g by about 5 hours....is this right?

a) no, it doesn't matter.
b) that's completely different than the subject matter of the rest of the discussion in this thread -- please try not to hijack other peoples' discussions, since it just adds confusion to the existing dialog.

So I should have posted a new thread with the same title? Sorry..next time I'll know better.
