Note that when you delete an item from the admin, it also deletes the associated photo. You may not want that.

Adding a custom field is a two part process... first you need to add the field to the data base via phpMyAdmin from within your cpanel, once you've done that, then you need to enter it in the EP4 configuration page.

Also note: Database field name CANNOT have spaces in them, which is what you look to have done.

EP4 DOES handle file upload and downloads. But it doesn't STREAM the file at run time, meaning the data is exported to a file in your temp directory, and then from there you can download it.

Also, if you have a large import file, and a low end shared server/hosting environment, then you should use the SPLIT feature after you upload the file to break your import file into manageable chunks. Much work when into improving the performance of EP4, and I have tested with with another user importing 900,000 records... in this case we broke the file into 50,000 chunks and those import in about 200 seconds. He had a dedicated server which is much more powerful that the typical shared hosting. So try for the default of 2,000 record breaks when you split.

Note that this version is not an "upgrade" to the other out there, but a rewrite with many core changes to the code.

Hope this helps...
Thanks for the reply.

I've learned the hard way about images being deleted when an item is deleted from admin. That is not something I want at all, not sure what to do about that though.

I've looked in phpMyAdmin to try to find where the User Defined Product Fields are supposed to to go, without success.

None of the database field names were entered with spaces.
