Easy Populate Installation

[Kenada]

Hey there,

I am only able to upload single files and not the whole folder and did exactly as you say, making sure everything was placed in thier correct folders and creating new folders so that the same layout of the download was matched.

I even tried creating a whole new folder in my site's file manager named "Populate" and created folders within for all the .php files inside aswell.

Once this was all done, the option in admin>tools>easypopulate was still not shown as an option, the basic 14 are still there.

I can only assume I am not "installing" this correctly. But I've tried both methods and wold have thought 1 of them would have worked. Or is there something that I am doing completely wrong?

Thank you for your advice and suggestion so far...but I am still a newbie at this. :)

If you have done this correctly there is not a need nor a requirement for the "populate" folder as ZenCart does not look there.

There is a mysql insertion file that is part of this module. Did you run this also? It needs to be run to be recognized.

This can be done from your admin > tools > install SQL Patches > paste the complete file or upload from your local.

Hey there,

Thanks for that, I will give it a shot but before I do, which file do I upload when going to admin > tools > install SQL patch, and is there anything I need to type in for the large blank space:

-" Enter the query to be executed:

Be sure toend with ;" -

Thanks for the replies, I am currently *manually* typing out the first 100 products I have...it can be very stressful.

** If for some reason the config install fails, you can upload the SQL file provided using Admin -> Tools -> Install SQL Patches

With the module files there is a "install_sql" file and it is the contents of this file that goes in the "big box".

I assume that the config install failed as your post states that :

I tried going to my admin > tools but there was no "Easy Populate" option.

and if it had been successful, it should be there.
