EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Yes, what you are saying makes perfect sense. I really can't complain... if I had setup the music fields when I first began it would have never become an issue. Thanks again for your help on this.

Welcome and hopefully have been able to convert the product to a music product type and populate the desired fields. As to notification that was successful, well there are still likely some notifications that could be incorporated to catch such a situation of either an update with a change of product type or attempt to apply music field records to a non-music product.

As to maintaining software up-to-date as discussed several posts back, while a store may not be AS concerned about PCI compliance, maintaining software up-to-date is not just about PCI compliance to manage the expected operations.

Unfortunately as time marches on, those that wish to cause trouble find new and innovative ways to do it. Consider this: how often do you go through your store as a customer to see how it operates and responds? What if in one of these attacks, changes were made to your site where data began to be collected that you don't need to operate your store? What if that attack could have been prevented by the site being maintained up-to-date?

Do I expect such an issue with EP4? Not necessarily directly; however, there are ever more creative ways that it may get used such as automating data import which really means that depending on someone else to have ensured the safety/security of their data.

Just some food for thought...

Hi,

before I install easypopulate I have few questions about language support. My database has UTF-8 document collation. Also my language is not English and it contains umlauts like åöä. Is this a problem with easypopulate exports/imports?

This program has been adopted in the German version of the Zen Cart software by webchills. It also uses/expects UTF8; however, has some support for latin1. The only issues I've specifically seen regarding at least German is that the version of their Zen Cart software does not use the version check software to identify when a new version is available. There has been report that some languages such as Chinese and Russian are not well supported, but haven't been able to work with such users to resolve the issue(s).

I am still getting this error:

It appears you don't have
permission to access this page.
403 Error. Forbidden.

When I tried to download it from the server from the website. I don't want to download it from a FTP software. How can I fix this?

Hmm... When I follow this section of install.txt, I don't have problems downloading files generated by EP4:
c) Create a directory where EP4 related datafiles will be uploaded/exported. If this
directory will be in your admin area, then be sure to either merge the contents/changes
of the folder htaccess4AdminTempFolder with your new folder, or place the file(s) there.
This directory is *not* auto-created.

I followed what the instructions says I am still can't get it to work. Still getting that error message when I tried to download it from the admin area.
