EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

How do I go about exporting a product in ZC to EP so I can see the fields and such for template. I am new and have no idea.

Thanks

Isn't there an "export" link or pulldown right on the front of the EP page in your admin?

[firstcapitalfirearms]

No, I do not see an Export Link or Pulldown anywhere. Below is what I have in my EP Admin section. It is in "'s.

Those "Create ..." links are probably the Export links. And the exported files will be located in the foldername specified.

[firstcapitalfirearms]

Ok thanks. Any idea on the MySQL 1054 Error that I am getting.

Thanks

The full text of the error message will be critical information.

And someone else will need to respond to that part. I don't use EP, so can't really speak to all its finer details.

[apogeerockets]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but when uploading things that have quotes in them (such as html tables and such) MAKE SURE QUOTES ARE ESCAPED. using open office, all my quotes were escaped with additional quotes after exporting back to csv, so

<table border="0">

looked like

<table border=""0"">

when it needs to look like

<table border=\"0\">

i was annoyed that my product's descriptions weren't updating, and that was the culprit. :)

You have a different (older) version of EP. The latest version is EP 4. This is what I see.

[firstcapitalfirearms]

I am trying to install EP 4 as I guess I had the wrong EP installed the first time. Anyways I have it installed and I am getting the error

"Easy Populate "Uploads Folder" missing!
Your uploads folder is missing. Your configuration indicates that your uploads folder is named temp/, and is located in /home/firstcap/public_html/".

I am trying to locate the temp/ folder on Filezilla and I cannot find it. Am I looking for something different or what do I do to fix this problem. I see in the install.txt that it states to

"Now go to Configuration -> Easy Populate 4 and edit the Uploads Directory. The default directory is "temp/"
This assumes you have a directory "temp" in the root of your website. I highly recommend that you
move your temp directory into your admin, or change the name to something that is obscure for security reasons."

What do I change it to since I cannot even locate the temp/ folder. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

I think you must create the folder. Just name it "temp" to see if that works. Then you can move/rename it.
