EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to...

Do you mean Category Images? If you want to set category images (and category descriptions and metadata) you need to use the "Categories Only (with Metatags)"
download option.

NOTE: This is a one-to-one export-correct-import. It works off the category id NOT the name. You do not want to alter your category between export/import.

Keeping that in mind, it is very useful for setting all your category information.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

yes, i'm trying to fix a category image using easypopulate, but i don't know how.
Do you recommend just exporting using easypopulate, and then look at the generated file, and then do the same to link a category image ?
else, i don't understand how.

Thanks chad, :) i just had to export category only and look at how it was done, and import it back. Wow !! this will save me alot of time.

Hello Chadd, just want to say thank you for your work on this version of EasyPopulate, it is so much better than any of the others I have installed, I`ve had to export, and re-import over 100k of products, and it works flawlesly on 4.0

Keep up the great work
Regards
Sam

I am loading a shop with 4 languages. I am currently filling in the csv file.
My problem is I am using Russian and typing in Cyrillic, when I reopened my file the Cyrillic came up in ????????
Can I upload with a tab deliminated txt file or only a csv file??
Thank you,
Andi

Hi Andi!

Awesome, Russian!

Couple of questions: What version of zencart? 1.5 or 1.39? 1.5 is native UTF-8, but 1.39 is Latin1 and will not show your input correctly.

How are you saving your CSV? Are you using OpenOffice and specifying UTF-8?

If you send me a PM and include your sample data, I can check on a testing server with UTF-8.

Thanks!
Chadd
