EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[chadderuski]

Hi,

I just installed this on a site and am using it for export only at the moment. I notice in admin/Tools/Easy Populate 4, down the right hand side, there are a number of things listed. In particular there is this...

Custom Products Fields
Product Short Descriptions: FALSE
Product Unit of Measure: FALSE
Product UPC Code: FALSE
Google Product Category: FALSE
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price: FALSE

I would like to set the first of those, Product Short Descriptions, to TRUE. Where are the settings that affect these? I don't see anything under the Configuration/Easy Populate 4 menu.

I would also like to export the number in stock.

Thanks for working on this great mod.

Hi Rob,

There are some mods that I have add support for. These are auto detected (the script check the database to see if the column exists). So to use these fields, you would need to install the mod.

Product Unit of Measure (UoM) is my own unpublished mod (may get around to it once done with EP) that lets you ad the UoM to the price: $12.95 ea

Product UPC can be added from Numinix's products fields (not all his are supported here at this time).

The Products short description is quite old. I don't know if it's been updated for 1.39 or 1.50.

I see.

I didn't ask the client why they wanted this, but I'm guessing they don't need the entire description in the download. Is there a way that I can customize the script to just use the first 100 characters of the description or something like that?

It may be possible, but you risk them using this data for the import and truncating any existing descriptions.

As I said, they only want to use this for downloading. I'll take a look at the files and see what I can find.

How do I uninstall Easy Populate. I clicked on the un-install link. It gave me the following message. "Easy Populate Configuration Missing. Please install your configuration by clicking here
I do not know what it did - but it did not uninstall, reinstall, or change anything.

Thank you,

Hi John,

This is actually correct. It has un-installed the configuration variables from the database. Now you would need to remove all the files from your site using an FTP program. This is common with nearly all zencart plug-ins.
