Can products_model be edited/revised using EP4? If yes which module?

Thank you.

No, EP4 does not offer a method to create or modify products_model at this time. The expectation in using it is that the products_model is identified already for each product or upon insert of new products that the products_model be identified.

Hi there, I'm having a fairly bizarre issue with the latest version of EP4 downloaded from Github. Recently upgraded the cart from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3, thus needed to upgrade to the latest EP4. After uploading the new files, the EP page appears to load correctly and exports products fine.

However, once I re-upload the changed file and click "Import"... the product information changes *temporarily* but then reverts back to the original once EP import is complete. For example, if I change the product price from $5 to $6, and while the file is being imported/processed, I refresh the front end store product page in another browser tab, and the product price is correctly $6. But as soon as EP finishes importing and says "File Import Completed", I refresh the product page and it's right back to $5.

Any ideas?

Verify that the model for that product isn't listed more than once and that the model number of the item that follows isn't blank.

As for the need to view on a different tab, that basically is more than likely a sessions/cache issue.

Yes, that seemed to be the issue - duplicate products because they are in different categories. I've sorted all products by model number, and now I can see the duplicates and apply changes as needed. Thanks!

OK, so here I go for another lambasting for being the thickest user.

I've uploaded EP4 and renamed the admin to match store name but not sure I have put it in the right place, when it says upload to admin I presumed that meant the zenadmin | all uploaded in its own directory EasyPopulate-4.0-master

is this the right path to use

No.

Almost all plugins (actually "all" as long as they're written consistently) have a set of directories that correspond to the existing directories in your Zen Cart site.

So the easy-populate40-master/admin folder contains the files that you would add to your /admin (or renamed admin) directory.
And likewise most of the easypopulate40-master/whatever files and folders would go in your / (main, no subdirectory) directory.

I think I'm more confused by your answer than I was before.

Do the EP4 files all go into their own directory within the path named zenadmin/whatever-your-plugin-is-called/your-store-name-here

or something different to that

Two other ways to look at it is:
1) the files easypopulate_4.php, easypopulate_4_import.php, easypopulate_4_export.php etc. Are in the same admin directory as files like orders.php, option_names.php, attributes_controller.php, etc.... from that location, the other folders should already exist.

The second way to view it is that the files to operate EP4 are placed in the folder that is used to access your admin from the Web. So if you had to type in https: // yourdomain. com / directory1/directory2/mysecretadmin to get to your admin, then the files in the admin directory of the download would go into that directory without modification of the file/folder structure of the remaining downloaded items.
