EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[macnerd]

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.

Awesome!

I don't see any documentation about upgrading from earlier versions. What is the upgrade process?

Hiya Rusty,

Are you referring to upgrading version of EP 4 or older versions like 1.2.5.4?

If you are going to upgrade between versions of EP 4, say 4.0.17 to 4.0.21...

1) Go to Configuration -> Easy Populate 4 and make not of your settings, and any custom field names you may have added.

2) Go to Tools -> Easy Populate 4 and click "Un-Install EP4" on the right side of the screen. This will ONLY uninstall the database configuration settings.

3) Upload the new version of EP4.

4) Go to Tools -> Easy Populate 4 and click "Install EP4"

5) Go to Configuration -> Easy Populate 4 and enter your configuration settings

It should be very straight forward.
