EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[solo_400]

I have installed on my 1.5.5 ZC

Some issues:

1. Every time I go in admin panel Tools->Easy Populate 4 page an error log file is created:

[xx-xx-2017 23:20:13] Request URI: /myshop/myadmin/easypopulate_4.php, IP address: xx.xxx..xxxxx.

Any idea ?

2. CEON Uri mappaing links are not regenerated after import. I need all options available today in order to take a decision for solving this.

CURL error checking plugin versions

Looks like CURL is misbehaving. This could be a server setting (php.ini) - but I am not well-versed in that stuff.

You could try REMOVING the plugin_support.php file, or re-naming it to something like plugin_support_php.SUS and then try using Easy Populate.

I really don't know if the plugin support PHP file relies on other files... but try this. If things go even more pear shaped, then re-name the file to it's original name.

Look for CURL problems/configurations in the server settings.

Item 1 yes is related to EP4 using the ZC version check code to identify the presence of an update.

To item 2, EP4 does not come with the built in ability to manipulate CEON URI Mappings. It is discussed in this thread as well as in the CEON URI Mappings thread about how one can find software that merges or brings EP4 and CEON URI Mapping together. Even then, the operation (update/generation) is performed on database export rather than import.

After some tries I got new products imported default disabled. I have tried to import by placing v_status both "0" or "1" with same result, product status is disable in admin. Quantity is greater than 0. Is there some logic behind, maybe other fields must be set in order to load active products ?

I'm sorry. I have found wrong field on my feed.

Glad you figured that out. :)

v1.5.1
I am using EasyPopulate 4 to upload products from a few different sites into a single site listing all products from every site and all is working very well (it is a great plugin) .... until I need to update a file. The problem is I need to have 'broader' category names on the combined site and then have sub categories (which are actual categories on the site where the file is generated) so I am encountering an issue whereby the sub category name on the new site doesn't necessarily match the category name on the exported file. So when I upload the file it loads as a complete category in top where as all I want to do is upgrade the products in that now sub category.

Even if I change the 'broad' category on the new site to match the category name from the file generating site the file still wants to upload in to 'top'. I am exporting the file as complete products by category by active status.

Is there a way to have the file load into a specific sub category?

cheers, Mike

p.s. by giving the exported file a totally different name I can move it into the broad category and then delete the 'old' file and then rename the new file which achieves the aim but it is very messy
