    Default Help Needed With Easy Populate

    I am setting up a new website for myself and have 8000+ products in a CSV file from my suppliers.

    I have managed to follow a tutorial and prepare the file with the correct fields and it has imported perfectly into Zen Cart.

    The problem I have is I have a field called v_products_description_1 which obviously holds the products description, my problem is the supplier has sent me another CSV which identifies what that product is compatible with which I would like to include within the description. I have tried creating v_products_description_2 / 3 / 4 etc but that does not work, I have also tried renaming all the fields v_products_description_1 and that does not work either.

    I am now lost and have no idea where to go next. I have learned so much in the last 48 hours but I`m now lost so any help would be a massive help.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Mike Smith

    It would help to identify which easy populate version you are talking about as v_products_description_1 in one version may mean something different in another.

    I am using version 1.2.6.4, I thought the v_products_description_1 field was required by Zen Cart and not anything to do with Easy Populate, just shows my skill set LOL.

    So, it may be most beneficial to you and others to post in the associated thread; however, I would say/assume that the underscore 1 (_1) ties the products_description provided to the language that has the id of 1. It could also be that the 1 represents the first language in the store and would always be numerical in order with no potential gaps between numbers.

    Generally speaking it would actually be more helpful to others if the link to that thread/post were provided here. That way if another stumbles upon this thread and it relates to them they can follow the conversation and solve their own problem(s). :)
