EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[wtfbbq]

If this mod only adds fields to the products table, then you should be able to use the User Defined Products Fields to add these to your import sheet. After installing the MAP mod, look at the products table or sql you used to modify the table for the field names. Then add these under the Configuration > EasyPopluate 4 :: User Defined Products Fields.

Separate the fields with a comma, but do not add spaces, for example: field1,field2,field3
Do not add quotes either.

Your sheet will then export with columns for these fields as: v_field1, v_field2, v_field3

Let me know how that works for you!

Thanks this worked!
For those who need the MAP mod integrated, the categories you need to add in the user defined box are: map_enabled,map_price

Hi Chad...

Firstly what a great extension EP is, I had got it set up on a server whilst i was testing out things and it was all working great.

I've now had to move over to a hosting package with siteground and have managed to install zen cart again no problem and was going to start again from scratch with everything.

When I re-installed EP (using your latest github version) for some reason I can't seem to get it to work correctly. I can see it at the bottom of the tools menu but everytime i try and do something in EP it takes me back to the admin login panel for some reason.

I know this has been documented before but i didn't even use the install sql feature to install it via the admin panel and can't see any rouge // in any of the configure.php files.

Is there anything else I can check here because it's driving me crazy as i've already tried a few things but to no avail, currently i've re-installed zen cart from scratch again and done the same for EP but it still doesn't work.

Currently with the hosting i've not transferred my domain name across yet so i'm having to access the site by ip address and noticed that in the url for that there is a ~ character which i was wondering if that had anything to do with the problem perhaps.

Unless there's a few more php files i can check for bad // ?

Any help would be greatly welcomed...

Thanks.
Matt

Hi Matt,

Did you install zencart using a cpanel auto-installer? If so, then you likely have some "fudging" going on in your configure.php files. You will need to check these to be sure the are correct. A common issue I've seen are extra // (double wacks) where there should only be one. This will break EP though not zencart for some reason.

I haven't tested zencart on a site using the ~ tilda, so you are in uncharted grounds there. No problem using just an IP though.

Hi,

I did the install by just copying the files into the right places with FileZilla and then going to tools > easypopulate4 at the bottom of the list and then having to press on install easypopulate by clicking at the top of the screen within the easy populate menu/module.

I'm just wondering if it could be the ~ character within the URL ? Is there any way I can verify this somehow. Unless there are more .php files to take a look inside with path errors?

In the configure.php insi admin includes I did notice the admin directory isn't specified like the other paths, it doesn't contain any // but it doesn't show a true path to the directory like the other dirs are.

Thanks,
Matt
