EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Hi Chad,
That data I put in the above post was extracted from the two cvs files I used

I did read the readme but I don't think there's anything about importing more than one option type (I.e. sizes and colors) in a single file, which was why I used two files.

So to import two sets of options should I simply repeat the data on the same line, e.g. "v_products_model","v_products_options_values_name","v_products_options_type ","v _products_options_values_name",""v_products_model","v_products_options_values_na me","v_products_options_type","v _products_options_values_name"?

Hi Ted,

No, one record per line. You would like the SAME model number twice, but the second one will have the different options/values.

Your headers look wrong to me. That is why I prefer the attached file. I had one person that had a space after a header name that was breaking his import. Notice that you use v_products_options_values_name twice. This is wrong.

From my example file:
"v_products_model","v_products_options_name","v_products_options_type","v_produc ts_options_values_name"
"Widget","Color",0,"red,green,blue"
"Widget","Size",0,"S,M,L,XL"

First Color will be added, then Size for the same products_model number "Widget" (which must be unique to your store).

Hope this gets you one the right tray.

Chadd,
Sorted. I redid the file and found an error in one of the headers and it all worked great.

OK, next question
Is it possible to add references/links to multiple images per product using EP4?
I'm specifically trying to add extra images showing colour options for each product.

You don't actually do THAT with EP4 (although there are attribute images, but not in EP4 yet).

You can specify your base image, and then just upload the others.

Base Image: HBB-250.jpg

Extra Images: HBB-250_01.jpg, HBB-250_02.jpg, HBB-250_03.jpg, etc.

Attribute Images are different (if you want them used in conjunction with a check or radio selection). You will have to do these manually.

If I'm understanding all the research I've read here in this thread there is no way to use this mod to import products that are priced by attributes, eg, size1- $5, size2 $10, size3 $15, etc...? And if no anyone have an answer how to import products when they are priced by attribute such as choose quantity?

Don't know what led to that conclusion but it is wrong. EasyPopulate v4 can very easily handle price by attribute and other aspects of attributes... Suggestion is to export a few of the different downloads and take alook at the available data. Without modificatiion, most of that datacan be modified and then uploaded.

Version 4.0.27 to EP4 has been uploaded to https://github.com/mc12345678/EasyPopulate-4.0 which should eventually be mirrored to https://github.com/chaddro/EasyPopulate-4.0. This version adds the capability to export the URI as would be generated on the catalog side of the store when exporting products or categories with meta information. Again, no functionality is removed from the application, only increased. A new switch is added to the EP4 configuration menu; however, this would require either an uninstall/install sequence or manual SQL addition.
