EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[mc12345678]

Version 4.0.30 has been pushed to github: https://github.com/mc12345678/EasyPopulate-4.0/ If found to be acceptable will have it merged into the version presented at the first post of this thread.

Adds a new switch to the configuration menu. If this switch is not entered, set, or reset then the full new method of filename display will be provided which may be considered annoying by those that have become accustomed to using EP4 as it is and understand the need to name certain files a certain way as outlined in the instructions. (If so, I suggest installing the below SQL through the tools -> Install SQL patches option or by selecting the un-install/reinstall links on the EP4 page and the SQL will take care of itself. Though remember to note any special settings on the admin's configuration panel before uninstalling.)

Also, the generation of a warning has been corrected. Previous use of

if (!$error)

would result in execution if $error was not set, was = null, was = false, or any other non-true type result. Problem is that now in certain versions of PHP, if the variable hasn't been declared (not set), then a warning is thrown so, to maintain continued functionality and prevent those warnings, the statement has been changed to

if ((isset($error) && !$error) || !isset($error))

This way, if it is set then can evaluate that it is not an error, or if it is not set at all (or if equal to null) then in either regards it is considered as being "addressed" and the software can move on.

So that SQL if you want to be lazy and install the software but only incorporate the one additional change:

SELECT @config_id:=configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group where configuration_group_title= 'Easy Populate 4' and configuration_group_description = 'Configuration Options for Easy Populate 4';

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Show all EP4 Filetypes with Files', 'EP4_SHOW_ALL_FILETYPES', 'True', 'When looking at the EP4 Tools screen, should the filename prefix for all specific file types be displayed for all possible file types (True [default]), should only the method(s) that will be used to process the files present be displayed (False), or should there be no assistance be provided on filenaming on the main page (Hidden) like it was until this feature was added? (True, False, or Hidden)', @config_id , '25', NULL, now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\"True\", \"False\", \"Hidden\"),');
