EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[mc12345678]

If I had my guess based on the flexibility that has been incorporated thus far into EP4, is that if the import programming cuts off data, it would be to the limit of the current database setting and not some arbitrary value, and would be such that each cat^subcat would be such, not the entire string length or it "waits" for the receiving database to perform the chop. Chadd probably can provide that type of info off the top of his head, while I'd have to look into the code to confirm or deny that, though in writing import functionality I don't recall coming across any such limiter.

Btw, I apologize that my response may seem curt or rude, I absolutely had no intention in it being so. I was rereading and thinking about it and could see how it might be interpreted as such.

Btw, congrats on getting the formatting to support the import formatting. That much closer to a totally zen experience. :)

chadd and other !
I am exporting from litecommerce cart, get the csv category string with / instead of ^.
I've successfully modified the code around lines 685 of easypopulate_4_import.php
as
$categories_delimiter = "/"; // add this to configuration variables
// get all defined categories
foreach ($langcode as $key => $lang) {
// iso-8859-1
// $categories_names_array[$lang['id']] = explode($categories_delimiter,$items[$filelayout['v_categories_name_'.$lang['id']]]);
// utf-8 ^
//jph mod separator x2f is / in hex asc
$categories_names_array[$lang['id']] = mb_split('\x2f',$items[$filelayout['v_categories_name_'.$lang['id']]]);

This imports fine now, categories work, now can have the zencart experience with Litecommerce v2.1 data. Hope this helps someone else with an old litecommerce setup, because import into X-cart [their modern version] is a limited option. btw haven't imported more than one product at a time yet into zencart, but I don't foresee any probs. THansk so much for this EP4 version!

I see you looked at this closely enough to use the hex code for "/" ... as you can see in the code, I had/have plans to make this configurable,
but not easy to ask "new" users for the hex code

Hi, please tell me why I have no option to install EP in my admin!!

I don't even know which version of EP I have uploaded. It was at the top of http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=868 page and it says "This is an update to Langers version". I put the tempEP folder in the public html folder and maintained directory structure for the admin files. I also ran the install_sql script in admin. Why do I not see anything in admin please - neither in Tools nor Configuration. Therefore, I have no option to install EP.

help please!
