EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[OldNGrey]

Just reporting back that EasyPopulate-4.0 from the GitHub works as expected when installed in admin. I used Zc2.1.0; PHP 8.3.4 Mariadb 11.6.2

It it just the /plugins version that still requires some work

Is there a way to have the file exports to sort by date, where the most recent is on top in the table at the bottom?

Is there a way to have the file exports to sort by date, where the most recent is on top in the table at the bottom?

There is, though would require a little bit of SQL code to accomplish.

Are you wanting every export, certain or particular ones, something switchable like from the admin screen? When say by date or newest, can you be more specific? There typically are dates captured for every product; however, there are also means to bypass those dates or adjust them.

Trying to get an idea of the initial request which could then be modified to suit.

Sure, so im talking about the table on the ep4 page that shows a history of all the exports you do. so whichever file no mater the export type, the one with the most recent timestamp would be on top of the table. I could see where a sort option to change the sort preference in the admin would also be helpful, although IMO the most recent file on top of the list is very useful.

Hi, I am using ZC 2.1.0 w/ php 8.3. Template is Responsive Classic.

Let me preface by saying, I did not have a problem w/ 2.0.1, however I am having trouble with 2.1.0

I have been struggling w/ getting EP to work as the basic attributes is not allowing imports nor exports. After submitting an import I get a blank page. After exporting it returns exactly only 1 line of data instead of the many on the website. I initially tried installing EP4 located at https://github.com/mc12345678/EasyPopulate-4.0. I then attempted to use 4.0.39. I did have an error log, however I in error deleted it when restoring a backup.

Now that my steps are addressed. I removed Easy Populate altogether so I can have a fresh start. Can you please tell me which is the most "baked" Easy Populate version to use that others are using successfully for zc 2.1.0? I will install it and start over and if I run into issues will provide an update.

Thank you very much for your help

I needed to do a quick test to see how EP handled images. So I went to my new ZC2.0 site...and I get a 500 error. This sort of shocked me as I have never had any issues with EP.


Zen Cart 2.0.1
Database Patch Level: 2.0.0
v2.0.0 [2024-06-02 05:34:21] (Version Update 1.5.8->2.0.0)

v1.5.7a [2020-11-10 21:55:11] (New Installation-v157a)

A 500 error should create a log file. Post it in its entirety using the # above.

In my attempt to install Zen Cart version 2.1.0, apparently I installed the GitHub master version which is still reporting Zen Cart 2.1.0 but has been half way adapted to whatever is coming next. Doing so also caused loss of all simple trigger_error troubleshooting and resulted in countless hours troubleshooting server configuration settings, code modification, folder permission evaluation and related testing.

I need to attempt to relocate the files back to the zc_pligins directory to determine if you get a different result, but my last test of importing and exporting the basic attributes data is working.

One thing I unfortunately found was some of the advanced functionality was built while the unique id was set for the products_id instead of the products_model. I've made a change to account for either setting that needs to be uploaded.

Hi all,


We're encountering an HTTP ERROR 500 when attempting to use the "EP4" module on a fresh installation of Zen Cart.


Here are the specific details of our new environment:


Zen Cart Version: 2.1.0
PHP Version: 8.2.28 (Zend: 4.2.28)
Database Engine: MySQL 10.5.24-MariaDB
Interestingly, this same "EP4" module works perfectly on our older Zen Cart site. On the new installation, the error occurs immediately upon trying to activate or use EP4.


Has anyone successfully integrated EP4 with Zen Cart 2.1.0 on a similar PHP 8.2 / MariaDB 10.5 setup, or encountered a similar HTTP 500 error with EP4? Any insights or suggestions on troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance for your help.

What was the origin of the download?

There were reports of the 500 error in the last few pages, with some corrections provided on GitHub and/or this forum. I have a version that works on Zen Cart 2.1.0, though had run into issues with retrieving log information as a result of some system changes preventing retrieval of troubleshooting data. Worst case I expect to resolve the reported issues by this time next week.
