EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[Serious]

veery frustrated over here.

Spent a few days going through all of my products via a downloaded .csv file to remove all of the HTML tags in the MetaTag descriptions.

Divided the spreadsheet int 3 separate sheets of approx. 2000 parts each.

made sure that all " were removed from the text in the description fields.

Uploaded and imported the files only to find that ALL of the product descriptions are being cut-off.

So now what?

The descriptions were correct (with regards to length) in downloaded spreadsheet.

I went back through the descriptions and noted that all text after the ® was dropping off.

Could be happening with trademark and copyright symbols too, haven't looked yet.

Anyway around this?

Hi Dashizna,

You should read the first posts in this thread for more detailed info, but you must provide a category name in the v_categories_name_1 column.

This error means you left it blank.

I have a site running Zencart 1.5.0, I had easypopulate 1.2.5.4 working on it, We wanted some newer features so I installed EP 1.5. Once I got EP 1.5 installed I tried an import and it acted like it ran but was running on a blank file. I tried installing EP 4 and have the same results. When I rolled EP 1.5 back to 1.2.5.4 it just loads a blank page once you click the insert to db button so I went back to 1.5 and 4. I was thinking that I had something wrong import file wise but I created products manually, ran an export with EP 4, deleted the products and imported the same unedited file and had the same results, nothing done and no products created. With both EP 1.5 and EP 4 they have no trouble uploading the file, they just don't import it. I have tried setting the temp folder to 700, 755 and 777 with no change. I am sure I messed up something with the EP 1.5 install, does anyone have an idea what direction I should be looking.

EP 1.5 results


EP 4 results


Thanks, James.
