EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

dear EP4, I met some problem when i populate our product.

EP4+ZC1.5.8a

firstly, I exported CVS via "Filterable Exports" function.
then I edited my new product in this CVS file.
leave the same value on column "v_categories_name_1", it's not blank
then I got the error:No category provided for this new product.

attachment is my EP4 setting and circumstance, cvs file.




who can help me ?

In fact, I'm having trouble understanding the operating logic of ep4:

When I upload a new product, but its v_products_model already exists, after performing the upload, it is treated as an old product, and the upload action is regarded as a modification to the old product.
If you change the record's v_categories_name_1, it will generate a copy of the old product under the new category.

I think there should be a column to mark that this record is for uploading a new product, rather than modifying an old product.

Or is it possible that the CSV I'm using to upload new products is incorrect in the first place? I got it from the Filterable Exports of ep4.
Thank you, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me solve this problem with uploading new products.

If using the version downloaded from the zen cart site, then please read back over any of the recent pages of this thread about how to resolve the missing category issue.

Regarding the linking of product described for using a single product model to describe two or more different product, may I suggest reading the instructions about using the products id instead of the products model as the primary key.

If you have downloaded the version referenced about two posts ago, then please identify the history of versions on the server. The version recently posted about should not initially have the problem described about a missing category. Unfortunately, as the version on the zen cart site appears to have been installed, upgrading to the above version will still have it. To correct one the new above version is installed, remove or uninstall the database settings and then reinstall the plugin to apply the correct default settings. Otherwise follow the guidance discussed on nearly every page of this thread for several, several pages back.
