EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Wow! You hit it exactly! I uploaded that file and all seems to work.
I misunderstood the instructions in INSTALL.txt item 2 b) . . .

2. Upload all files in the "admin" directory to your site maintaining directory structure.
   No core files are changed.

	a) If you are using zencart 1.3.8/1.3.9, you need to also upload the additional
        files in the "zencart 1.3 extra files" folder. 

	b)  If you are using zencart 1.5.x, no additional files need to be uploaded as the file necessary
	 to support ZenCart 1.5.x has been placed within the above "admin" directory.

So, I mistakenly did not upload admin\includes\extra_datafiles\easypopulate_4_filenames.php
It seems I erroneously conflated "no additional" with "extra_datafiles"

Now that I seem to have it properly installed, I'm looking forward to figuring out how to use it.
I thought as a first step I would export the demo data products to see how the csv's of new products should be coded for input.

Thanks so much kabko! And Thank you mc12345678

I am making some modifications to the instructions for the next version. This will be an area touched to try to reduce such confusion.

A little background, at some point in the code's history, chadderuski had made the final "step" of installation a process requiring upload of the applicable file for the version of ZC. Not too long ago I decided to simplify the process by a step to include the file automatically in the fileset. In changing the instructions to "match" I minimized the change instead of rewriting that section. Time to rewrite. :) thanks for identifying where the confusion came from.

On a side note and as pointed out by DrByte in the last couple of pages, generally speaking plugins are provided with the complete file structure and "at worst" may require renaming of override folders to match the applicable template. This plugin doesn't have such overrides (except for languages not yet translated), but the point being that once such changes have been made "locally" and possibly merge of overwritten files performed, the entire fileset is uploaded as a unit rather than file by file. Such a "missed" file would not occur. Again there, thank you for identifying why the file was omitted. That type of discussion helps upfront to identify why something isn't working the way it is expected and helps to expedite solving the issue.

As to your next step of exporting a sample file. Spot on. Please keep in mind usage as described in the instructions for uploading and also note that there is a patch on the previous page if you are uploading attributes using EP4 version 4.0.35.ZC as downloaded from the ZC site.
