EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

I think that's where I have them, if you look at the images I have attached above, then I renamed the directory called admin contained within EP4 to match the store name.

Is that where I have gone wrong because nothing shows up in zen CP under tools

I can't understand your images.

Is easypopulate_4.php at STORENAMEHERE/zenadmin/easypopulate_4.php ?
If not, then you're putting things in the wrong place.

If the files are copied into the correct places, then the menu option will be automatically installed.


The EP plugin is no different than the majority of other plugins: its directory structure mimics your own Zen Cart structure, with its files already placed in the directories where you're supposed to copy them to inside your own store.

The steps I have taken

downloaded zip file, unpacked, then uploaded into the zencart directory which is called zenadmin. I have checked 3x and all files in the zip file are matched exactly on cpanel.

So now the question becomes what have I done wrong. I have tried four option, none of which have woked so far.

1. uploading the unpacked files into their own subdirectory called EasyPopulate-4.0-master within zenadmin, and then renamed the file from EP4 which was called admin to match store name

2. as 1. above except left the same admin file without renaming.

3. uploaded the unpacked files directly into zenadmin without creating a subdirectory EasyPopulate-4.0-master and then renamed the file from EP4 which was called admin to match store name.

4. as 3. above except left the same admin file without renaming.

so since nothing shows in zenadmin cp under tools, I have done something wrong but cannot workout what it is.

this is the file structure when unpacked from the zip file and uploaded to zenadmin directory in exactly the same way as it came

\zenadmin\EasyPopulate-4.0-master\admin
\zenadmin\EasyPopulate-4.0-master\examples
\zenadmin\EasyPopulate-4.0-master\htaccess4AdminTempFolder

the easypopulate_4.php file is within the admin directory listed above

None of those are correct.
If zenadmin represents your admin directory, then everything that you see when viewing this directory: \zenadmin\EasyPopulate-4.0-master\admin

Should be in:
\zenadmin

ok, so as I understand that instruction, all I have to do is ignore the file tree EP4 came with and bundle everything into the zenadmin directory

After thinking about it, there is something I am just not getting, so I have deleted EP4. I'll survive without it.

thanks to those that tried to help

How do you install any other plugin? That is truly what you are not getting. Also, I don't know how to answer your last question because of the likelihood that you understand file tree differently than intended...

There should be/should have been 5 files and one directory in the folder referenced above (zenadmin/EP4/admin). All six items should be in your zenadmin directory. There is no "ignoring" the folder structure.

As DrByte said, the layout of the files is relatively the same as installing any other ZC downloaded program. it's a shame for you to give up just when things are about to go right...
