EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[LindeeG]

How do I uninstall Easy Populate 4.0?

I had developer upgrade my site from 1.3.9 to 1.5.1 recently (I was not able to get the upgrade to see my db) and he installed Easy Populate 4.0 over the old csv version previously installed. The older version was configured to connect the attributes for downloadable products (most of my products). After a problem with the attributes not working after the upgrade, he "corrected" the problem by replacing the new 1.5.1 admin folder with the old 1.3.9 one, which had the old EP files.

I figured out how to fix the old EP for uploading and altho all the EP 4 files are removed, EP 4 still shows up on Admin > Config. How do I remove it? I'm trying to clean up the site as much as possible after a sloppy upgrade.

Might be easier to reinstall and the have it remove EP4, but: The below is the SQL that is run from within it that will address your database (including the menu option). I might suggest running all five statements, as it does seem unclear what version of ZC you are really working to... :/ Not cool...

SELECT @ep_group_id := configuration_group_id FROM CONFIGURATION_GROUP WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Easy Populate 4' LIMIT 1;
DELETE FROM CONFIGURATION WHERE configuration_group_id = @ep_group_id;
DELETE FROM CONFIGURATION_GROUP WHERE configuration_group_id = @ep_group_id;
DELETE FROM ADMIN_PAGES WHERE page_key = 'easypopulate_4';
DELETE FROM ADMIN_PAGES WHERE page_key = 'easypopulate_4_config';


So, the above 5 statements cover version 1.5.x on, and may provide an error if run on a pre 1.5.x database... The errors (if they are to occur) would be in the last two statements.

It would be easiest to tell by looking at the database, because there is potentially an issue with the first statement... If the select statement returns a zero then, this could affect the other databases. And actually, if you are okay with keeping information in your database, but just want to make the menu option(s) go away, then perhaps the last two queries should be run to remove the menu options. But that wouldn't fully cleanup your existing condition (possibly if other EP4 data was still present).

I'm a little confused about what the issue is with using EP4 as it too allows download/upload/export/import of attributes as well... But, the above will accomplish what you asked for. It is my understanding as well, that there may be benefit to running more than one EP product, depending on the task at hand, and I believe this version (EP4) can co-exist with another/others.

I am posting this here because this is the only module that I am having this problem with...

Whenever I try and Import a file it is making me relog into the Admin as if the session ID has reset. So I click import It will then import..... am forced to relogin and it imports.. and done.. I had a different Easypopulate and it did the same thing. So whatever the POST function is doing, it's resetting my Session ID to a new one..

Is there a fix for this? Is there a place to look?

I have done a bunch of Google searches and this problem pops up from time to time, but no one ever has a solution.. I think it has to do with a PHP config. setting or a Sessions setting in Zen Cart.. I have had to change things with those in the past in order to get Facebook to pull images off the website to post...

Thanks for any help or direction that you may have!

Hi,

I installed EP on zencart 1.5.1. When I try to download an ep file, I get this error: Firefox can't find the server at epuploads.

I made sure the folder is writable, and put in the folder name in the ep configuration as follows foldername/

The file does exist in the folder and I could download via ftp, but this should be available when in the tools section of the admin

Any help would be appreciated.

At this time, there appears to be more questions to ask than answers to provide:
1) Are you sure that you have this version of EP installed. Asked for the following reasons: epuploads is not found in the coding of the program, no other text in the message indicates why epuploads would be referenced, the config description does not include the value 4 which is related to the version number identified for this plugin
2) It is not clear if foldername/ is the actual content of the folder listing or if it is meant as an example/template and that the contents were actually epuploads/
3) Making the folder (and file) writable is half of it, also readable yes?

Sorry I wasn't more specific. I installed easy populate 4. I created a folder called epuploads and set permissions at chmod 777. In the configuration section in the admin it asks for the uploads directory. I have it set at epuploads/

Is there something else I am missing?

If you "right" click on one of the download links and copy the link, could you paste it here? (because of the location identified, you're welcome to substitute what you need to, but the important part is to try to identify if the link is "incorrectly created")

Is there a difference in URI between a secure connection and a standard connection? (ie. have a dedicated SSL versus a shared one? If shared, what is the format of it and how is that integrated into your configure.php files?)

Do you have any URI rewriter? htaccess redirects/rewrite rules? It may be that the folder is "hidden" from standard web browsing, even though the permissions are set. May need a new .htaccess file for the upload directory... Sorry I didn't respond earlier, wanted to look at the code a little and see how the system is expected to operate...

Perhaps this has been asked before, but how do you delete attributes from products via Easy Populate?

While I thought there might be a check possibly when using the attribute basic import, there does not appear to be a way for easypopulate v4 to remove attributes from a product at this time.

Btw, sorry for the delayed reply, have been away fromm the forums for the most part recently.
