EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[LilleyPadGifts]

I'm sorry if this is mentioned somewhere in this post, but I can't find it.
I want to use EP to upload products to multiple SUB-categories.
So for example ... a comic book...same book needs to go into two sub categories...

The book: Marvel Comics - Captain America

By Publisher (Main top level Category)
Marvel (Sub-Category)

By Title (Main top level Category)
C (Sub Category)

I can't figure out how to do this, or IF it can be done, using the columns in the exported file.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,
I have a fresh softaculous install of zencart 1.58 and cannot get easypopulate to install. When I click under Admin/Tools I get a whitescreen and nothing happens.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do?

HTTP error 500 when going to admin page/tools/Easy Populate 4.

I hope this is the correct place to post...been out of the game for 7-9 years and slowly working my way back in again....I uploaded all the files as stated in the install file and now I get a HTTP error 500 and easy populate does not show up under the configuration tab.

Running zencart 1.5.8

How to import or add new products via easy populate , without matching product_models? I mean I want to make the csv and it will add new products to

my store which does not have any product model

[chens19]

dear EP4, I met some problem when i populate our product.

EP4+ZC1.5.8a

firstly, I exported CVS via "Filterable Exports" function.
then I edited my new product in this CVS file.
leave the same value on column "v_categories_name_1", it's not blank
then I got the error:No category provided for this new product.

attachment is my EP4 setting and circumstance, cvs file.




who can help me ?

In fact, I'm having trouble understanding the operating logic of ep4:

When I upload a new product, but its v_products_model already exists, after performing the upload, it is treated as an old product, and the upload action is regarded as a modification to the old product.
If you change the record's v_categories_name_1, it will generate a copy of the old product under the new category.

I think there should be a column to mark that this record is for uploading a new product, rather than modifying an old product.

Or is it possible that the CSV I'm using to upload new products is incorrect in the first place? I got it from the Filterable Exports of ep4.
Thank you, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me solve this problem with uploading new products.

PHP 8.3.27 / ZC 2.0.1 / Easy Populate 4.0.39.ZC

After struggling through some errors and a lot of hunt and pecking while trying to patch those, I managed to get this mod to finally work with ZenCart 2.0.1.

Just a few questions:
1. is the EasyPopulate SBA modification supposed to create new combinations for inventorying? Is there a way to do so?
2. Is this the most recent version of Easy Populate to use? I couldn't keep track on the Git Hub repository.
