Quick update vs Easy Pop.??

[ladysaat]

Okay I've researched the forum and seen alot about both. I tried writing down tick marks under each name to come up with what's more popular. So would you vote please and that way I can see which is really the best with zen cart? I am an idiot when it comes to configuring etc. therefore I don't want to install a big mod and then have to back out or revert to backup and whatnot. Trust me, I will make a mess. I am practicing on a fake site to learn tips and tricks but the longer this site/cart is down we're tanking money. TIA!!!

They're two different things with completely different purposes! Quick Updates allows you to quickly and easily update prices on your site; EZPopulate allows you to easily populate your database with product information.

You can install both of them with no worries

OI! Okay now I totally confused. From what I've read, descriptions of them and such I got the impression that they did kinda the same thing with different attributes to each. Like restocking, adding new products yadda yadda... So they are complimentary mods? and NOT mods that do same kinda stuff?

Okay this is what I got from one site: (I don't think I can put site names here yes? too much like adverts?)

Description:

Easy Populate makes it simple to populate your Zen-Cart store with products without using the web interface at all. Easy Populate lets you download all your products into a csv file, edit them in the spreadsheet of your choice, and the reupload them to update your products, changing prices, categories, quantities, etc.

Please visit the authors website at ********** for more information.





Description: Quick Updates 1.3 has been tested on Zencart 1.3
Quick Updates is an administration component for the Zencart eCommerce system.

It enables you to edit and update multiple products via one screen.
Features include:

* Presents all of your products and prices into a "form" which is then updatable all in one go.
* Allows you to select products based on Category or Manufacturer.
* Allows you to globally increase or decrease the price for a range of products.
* Preview the changes before committing
* Configuration options to select which fields to display on the form

I cannot find the other site I was reading in. Plus I just did another search right now for quick update and didn't find the orig post that told me about Quick Update in the first place.

Which are simply the long versions of what I said!

I said

Quick Updates allows you to quickly and easily update prices on your site; EZPopulate allows you to easily populate...

You quote:

Easy Populate makes it simple to populate...

Quick Updates ...enables you to edit and update

And as these are free mods there is no problem with mentioning the name of the support sites.

Okay I'll shut up now. I'll just try both.
