Had reached out to the software approvers earlier this week, been busy, but is on the list for review (and as necessary comment). I partially expect concern about the query method not consistently using the ZC standard queries, but in a large majority of cases it is so that error handling is "on-screen" rather than in a tucked. Away. File/folder. But hopefully will receive either feedback or see it approved soon.

I imagine they are so busy with 1.55! But congrats on getting to the submission phase. Finally be able to take "beta" out of the name!

And thanks again for picking up the project and keeping it alive with your additions and support. I would have hated to see it fall to the side since I've been too busy to continue supporting it.

Dang straight. :) there actually is a little bit of submission confusion at the moment. It *is* posted in the plugins, but there are a few administrative things to rectify, but all in good time. :) I will say that without either posting a yet more updated version or help from the software team that the version checking portion isn't going to work right at the moment. I expect to hear back on that in the next day or so and will take the next appropriate action.

There likely remains improvements on things like instructions that can continue to be improved, but it's gotten this far with what exists. :) glad to see that you're still around. :)

Heard back... Suggestion is to resubmit to the existing location with the update(s) desired/necessary. Current plan is once at an appropriate computer to package up what is now 4.0.33a and submit. Current change is simply to the download location which is https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2069. Been going through the issues posted in github to see if there is anything that can be addressed relatively quickly as well to maybe offer a real version modification, but for those that have downloaded 4.0.33 and would like to receive notification of an updated version submitted on ZC, open admin/easypopulate_4.php, goto line 84 and change:

  $new_version_details = plugin_version_check_for_updates(2068, $curver);

to:

  $new_version_details = plugin_version_check_for_updates(2069, $curver);

Otherwise, depending on your version of ZC, an error may get logged as a result of no file data existing on the other end of the query.

I just installed EP 4 into zc 1.5.5, running on my windows pc with xampp. everything works fine until i try to download a generated file in the temp folder. I get this:
https://localhostdir_ws_https_admint...r19-030356.csv

Anyone know why and if there is a fix?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps a rehash, but the real why is that in ZC 1.5.5, the admin configure.php "structure" was simplified and the DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN define was removed... It is now expected that the admin "path" will be either all http: or all https: as set in the admin/includes/configure.php file. I have made some code changes and haven't been able to test them yet, but if you could take a look at the master path of https://github.com/mc12345678/EasyPopulate-4.0 and specifically at the admin/easypopulate_4.php file, there is a change made in two lines that ought to correct/address this issue for ZC 1.5.5 and previous supported versions. Again, I didn't get a chance to test it over the weekend, but it looks correct. Would appreciate the feedback incase I don't get to it before another.

For anyone wondering, the issue occurs/occurred in EP4 4.0.33 used on ZC 1.5.5 when the current page was loaded with SSL and the admin was the storage location. I had taken a slightly different approach to this line of code instead of simply observing the settings in the includes/configure.php file in the event that someone had chosen to load their admin (for that page) using SSL even though it wasn't fully enabled, at least the associated file(s) would also then be served using SSL... I have since gone back to a more "custom" method that adheres to the file settings rather than the chosen path at the time of loading the page.

Further it is my plan to submit this modification to the ZC forum which will/should correct a few other minor administrative issues, but it needs to be tested first.. Not going to submit something that just "looks" good...

That is intended to be generated by combining several parts of the definitions in the admin/includes/configure.php file (or possibly in the admin/includes/local folder if so used...

It would appear that DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN is not defined on the admin side and that the page is loaded while using https:

As for use on ZC 1.5.5? Well, hasn't been tested yet, though was just about to do so.. Problem is that the current ZC 1.5.5 setup that I have is experiencing a problem that I have yet to be able to explain but it nearly seems like it is related to a database that I upgraded from 1.3.8 to 1.5.5...

So, it may be that ZC 1.5.5 doesn't have that definition... If that's the case, possibly an easy fix... But more to come in the next day or so...
