EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[songseng]

Songseng,

You no longer have to make edits to the code if you want to add a custom field to your products table. The latest version of EP4 on github adds a new configuration variable for "User Defined Products Fields" ... just list your "products_family" here, and then add the column "v_products_family" to your spreadsheet.

When you return to the EP4 page, you will see an entry for your User Defined Fields and "True" if detected or "False" if not...

Hope this helps!

ps: your EP4 version should be 4.0.22 (or later) for this feature

Yes it's EP4 4.0.22 Beta.
Feel great with the "User Defined Products Fields", thats make job more easy and quick.

So I restored the 3 original files. Fill in "User Defined Products Fields" with 'products_family'. I was able to Export the v_products_family data without adding the column "v_products_family" manually to the spreadsheet. Meaning after the Export, I could see "v_products_family" in my CSV straight away.
BUT:
-I wasn't able to see User Defined Fields set to "True" if detected or "False" if not. I'm looking into Configuration > Easy Populate 4 > User Defined Products Fields. It's still showing the 'products_family' as I filled in before.
-After the Upload, the product family field is still Not updated.

I tried manually adding the "v_products_family" to the CSV and upload again, but it's still the same.
Chadd, correct me if I don't follow your steps, appreciate your hints again

Songseng:

In Tools -> Easy Populate 4 on the right-hand side where the info columns are will be an entry for user defined fields. This is
where you will see True/False next to your field name.

You are probably missing something simple. Send me a pm and I'll take a look at your CSV file off site.

Sorry, I have not. I am rather swamped right now too, so I don't know when I'll get a chance to dive into it....

Hey Chad, i had a play with this today, it seems that if we change the dates in the easy populate file to American (M/D/Y) it seems to upload fine, regardless of what the settings say, i am guessing it isnt pullling the date order from the options or something..

Ya know, it's been some time since I fiddled with that code. There was a LOT of funkiness with the date handling code and I MAY have just standardized it and said "to hell" with the configuration settings! Opps Sorry if it's created any confusion!

Chadd, you are right, I'm just missing one last important step > to 'import' the file after the 'upload'.
Truly sorry for the careless.

So just to clarify here.
I added the 'products_family' into Congfiguration > EP4 > User Defined Products Fields.
In the Tool > EP4 > User Defined Products Fields > products_family: TRUE (showing on right hand panel)
Export > download > upload > import are working well.
