could it be because i edited the categories sort order? in that case is there a way to insert the sort order for categories in the excel file?

No, not because of sort order.

How LONG are your category names? If they are longer than the database can hold (I believe the default is 32 characters) then you will have problems.

Are you using english, or a multi-byte language (like greek/russian).

If you can zip and attach a portion of your csv file that will help.

i've calculated, the categories is within the 32 character limit.. im using english and chinese, i tried updating it without editing the sort order and it works, it's only when i edited the sort order did it duplicated all the products and categories.. so it's quite clear the problem lies with that. attached is a portion of my .csv file

Hi Dennis,

Could you tell me exactly how you are editing the sort order? Are you doing this in the admin: Catalog > Categories?

If that's so, it's possible that I'm not pulling the sort order! So I'll have to look at that code again...

Hi Guys,

I'm a bit confused about Easy Populate; I already use a easy populate version for ZC 1.3.8 for about 3 years. Now i'm going to set up a new shop for a new niche product.

What is the difference between Easy Populate CSV (http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=868) and this one?

Thanks already!

Best regards,

Maarten

I cannot speak for that version. You CAN installed EP 4.0 and that other one and not have a conflict (other than possibly confusing yourself). Just note that the FILE FORMATS are NOT compatible.

A lot of custom stuff in EP 4.0, working attributes import, custom products fields, vast performance improvements to name just a few.
