The attributes are a pain in the ########, Some have three main Attribute categorys , Different sizes within them and then whatever combination chosen has a price to match, UUGhh !!

I went back to the basic last night and tried uploading attributes than i already had manually input into admin, and it still came up blank ??

Do you mean this file as the others don't have as much attribute info

SASH!

Sorry you're struggling with attributes. Did you follow the File Naming Convention for Attribute Imports? This is VITAL! Otherwise EP4 will not know what to do with the file.... basically IGNORING your attributes!

The file naming convention is explicitly documented, use:

Attrib-Basic-EP + what ever you want + .csv
Attrib-Detailed-EP + what ever you want + .csv

You should be first creating your Basic attributes before attempting to modify the Detailed settings (if any).

HOW TO ATTACH FILES TO YOUR POST

When you want to attach a file for us to look at, you will first need to ZIP it. You cannot attach .csv files without first doing this.

After you click Reply or Reply to Thread, you will need to click "Go Advanced" ....

Scroll down a bit and you will see a box titled "Additional Options", and under this Attachments.

Click "Manage Attachments" and you will be able to upload your ZIP file.

You don't need to attached every item in your data base. You should NOT be using more than just a FEW record items when you are first learning to do data imports.

Attach your .csv (zipped) exactly how you are uploading it. 95% (or more) of all problems I have helped with are data format related.

might be a strange question, but i'd love to convert straight over to EP4 (am running 1.5 with 1.2.5.4,a nd have the new EP installed)...

However my main issue is that my business database (75 tables with ~90,000 records) is currently arranged with exports to feed directly to the older EP.

IS there a way to set up EP 4 to accept (or export) files in the same config (1 record per row, with attribs in the same record by field name) as is setup in EP 1.2.5.4?

currently my database exports in a single MER file wiht the record (ie., model#) as the identifier, and with all attribs in the same record.. It can take quite some time for it to install in the site, but it usually works quite well.

I'd love to be able to take advantage of a few things with EP4, IF I can get past this hurdle.

Thx for any thoughts....

I posted here a couple of pages ago about a GST problem Im having with easy populate.
Basically I need the export to include more decimals, it gets cut off at 2, when adding 10% to that, we dont get back to the correct full retail price.

Heres the link to my full question, be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

Chargin,

You should be able to fix this with a few quick edits (I'll add a configuration for this later on).

Open easypopulate_4_export.php

go to about line 417

		$row['v_products_price']  = round($row['v_products_price'] + ($price_with_tax * $row['v_products_price'] * $row_tax_multiplier / 100),2);

See the ".... 100),2); " ??? That's rounding to two decimal places. Change to the degree of accuracy that you need.
