EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Nothing added that I can remember. I believe the EP was the last mod to be added. The only other thing that was done was changing a file for linkpoint payment module....

Do you happen to know/remember in which directory the file modified was in? (Don't need to know the file name, just trying to think if in the sequence of loading things, if there is something that has an effect on the variables used in EP4. If so, then the eP4 variables can be renamed to avoid that potential conflict. It's a long shot, but there have been two people that have expressed having a problem using this, both obtaining the same error message, though the cause has not been pin-pointed.

Now I am really showing my AGE!! Sorry - that was another client I was thinking about - not this one.

The only changes made on this site was in includes/modules/pages/page/header_php.php - as found in this post http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...=1#post1256039

Okay, so to be sure the situation is/was understood, this site has never had EP4 fully functional? (Ie, wasn't a situation where it worked for a while then suddenly stopped working?

[stellarweb]

It worked when I installed it on 8/14- it generated an ep file as it should have. A few days later, the client went to use it, and got the error and emailed me.

Thanks for your PM - I will check into that and get back with you.

Hi Stellarweb,

I've been reading through what you guys have been doing to try and solve your problem. I've of the mind that we should take a phpMyAdmin full sql backup and try to restore that into another site's testing database. This should tell us if we have:
1. code related issue
2. database related issue
3. server related issue.

not everything would be perfect for this test since you might have other mods installed, but it may help to diagnose your issue.

Did you attempt to install zencart in a new sub-directory, install only EP4 and test?

Happy dance! The site has Ultimate SEO URL's installed and one of the files includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php is what was causing the problem. Unfortunately, since this mod has not been updated yet for 1.5.3, I have to use that file for the USU to work. So I set up an admin area in a separate folder that ties into the current database and EP works fine! Not the greatest solution, I am sure, but the best I know of for now until USU gets updated.

BTW, at this time Ultimate SEO URL's is not considered compatible with ZC 1.5.3 or at least hasn't been updated to be compatible. The latest author has a BETA version in testing, but the ZC site version does not yet include the revisions that were made to integrate with the latest database handling and other changes to the "common" core files. (Discovered this last part by performing a merge with the latest ZC 1.5.3 files to see what was different/needed.) Haven't looked as to why these replaced files caused the result(s) that we saw, but certainly did not support proper operation of ZC 1.5.3 to use the files of an older version of ZC (Files from ZC 1.5.1 and below that manage/interact with the database require updating to work under ZC1.5.3)

I have the exact same problem. Please help as I have no idea how to do what you described.

Tried removing and reinstalling easy populate with no luck. I am using ZC 1.53

I also was having the language error

EP4 FATAL ERROR: No default language set.

and followed the posts here looking for the fix. The quote below didnt really explain to me how it was done. BUT overwriting the query_factory.php file with the default 1.5.3 file worked. I will just replace it with the SEO one later but Im posting here to perhaps ask how the below method works exactly? Is it an entire extra ZC install or just an extra admin folder? I tried an extra admin folder with default ZC 1.5.3 files but that didnt work for me.

Perhaps the fix can come from within the query_factory.php file ?

Im also running 1.5.3 and USU and EP4.
