importing or exporting products

[maelwys]

Hi,
is there any way to export and import products between zen carts?
e.g. I have zen cart on 2 different sites and would like to add certain products and attributes from one cart to the other.. is there any way this can be done easily or do I have to re-enter all the information to the second sites Zen cart

Thanks for any advice

Mel

first link was a no go

Go to downloads section (link in header) and download the free version of easypopulate.

That will certainly handle the products themselves but may not include everything (eg. meta tags) and I think that is only in the paid version. The site should be in the downloaded folder and cost is $65. Paid version does a lot more.

There are links at the bottom of the easy populate tab in Admin to download various files including a "complete" text file (though this option DOES NOT) include attributes.

You can then import that file into the other cart.

Also, trust me that that newbies DO get help. 2 days is definitely not long enough to panic. Some questions get answered right away and others can take a while, still others may go unanswered. This forum is the most helpful one your likely to find and the Zen team (creator/founders) are really great about nursing the newly born zenners so have patience.

You can take it from me, no way I could have done what I've done without the assistance of many people and, more often than not, the super busy Zen team.

Hope this helps.

Langer's web site seems to be down, I wouldn't use the versions of EP in the download section as they seem to be buggy unless you are good a php to bug find.
If you PM me your email I will email you a copy of 1.2.4.5 which works well.

Hi,
I've been testing 'easy_populate_from_osc_2.76dmod3a'.
Firstly i added a category and a product manually.
I then went to Easy populate/Download: Complete tab-delimited .txt file to edit.txt to edit.

I reimported the same file and this is what i get :

Filename: EP2008fev13-1604.txt-2.xls
| prd1 | | Product1 | Descriptio | | 53.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 13/02/2008 | 100 | Matrox | Barry | | | | Taxable Go | 1 !New Product!

| prd2 | | Product 2 | Product 2 | | 53.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 13/02/2008 | 100 | Matrox | Barry | | | | Taxable Go | 2 !New Product!

| prd3 | | Product 3 | Product 3 | | 50.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 13/02/2008 | 50 | Matrox | Barry | | | | Taxable Go | 3 !New Product!

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

No products_id field in record. This line was not imported

I can't get around this one cause when i look inside categories/products my products don't appear, only category.

I think it's got to do with
No products_id field in record. This line was not imported

Please help.

This is the one I was referring to. I'm using 1.2.5.4.

Think both Scrat and I were/are talking about that one. Not sure about the other one and differences with files, etc..

bazfr -(easy_populate_from_osc_2.76dmod3a) This mod version seems to have bugs use Langer's version 1.2.5.4 the one the downloads section has been altered by someone else so it may have bugs also

Just wanted to chime in here.

The osC Easypopulate port is definitely inferior to the Langer's Free one. I used the osC one for a little while, and couldn't get products to actually upload. I replaced it with the free Langer's one, and it worked the first time.
