How can I add extra fields to Easy Populate?

[mikecass]

I want to add extra fields to the easy populate contribution. I would like to add UPC and others to the import. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks

Unless you have a good understanding in writing PHP and Mysql you will struggle. I have looked at the advance version and it still does not have the field for UPC.

In up and coming versions of Zen. there will be UPC included, but EP will have to be updated to upload this, and you may have to buy the advanced version in the future unless someone less rewrites version 1.2.5.4

Sorry much much help

Actually it is really really easy, i did it within 30 mins - 60 mins.

Here is a copy of the coding, this will give you an idea what has to change. The only file that you need to change is easypopulate.php that is located in "catalog\admin".

I backed up my old easypopulate.php file and uploaded this, all I got was a blank screen.

I'm using Easy Populate Advanced 3.0.3 for Zen Cart...

Is there an updated version?

Sorry, should have said that this is for the standard version and not the advanced version.

I am receiving this error after installing your file.

mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in public_html/admin/easypopulate.php on line 718

One thing about adding to EP, It is easy to add, but if you don't have the added product variables in your product tables, then you will get a MySQL error.

This is the added items..

            'v_products_material'
            'v_products_finish' 
            'v_products_height' 
            'v_products_width' 
            'v_products_length'

If none are used throughout your site, then you will get errors. If it's not built in, then it wont be easy to add...

I am using easypopulate 1.254 and I downloaded the file from delights http://www.agelessartifacts.com/priv...sypopulate.rar i thought the file would work once i uploaded. I dont know anything about coding. How would i edit easypopulate to have the UPC code. or do i just have to add this information in easypopulate.php in the admin.

'v_products_material'
'v_products_finish'
'v_products_height'
'v_products_width'
'v_products_length'

thank you,

As Scrat pointed out, you need to know some programing to see where you need to add code. Depending how you plan to use the UPC will decide how the code is done. Adding something like a suggested price vs something used for tracking. I use a item number for tracking and I edited EP to use it instead of a model number for tracking and creating products.

Ether way you need to add the UPC to the cart, admin and product table to make it work, so it's not just a one page edit.
