I don't know what to do from here EP

[jvanree]

Hi,

I have a question regarding easy populate. I have put it in my zen directory and I shows up in admin but now I get this screen and I get all confused. I need to download all of my (75+) categories than I need to copy paste all articles in the sheet and upload the whole thing again. Now I've read the whole manual but I get stuck already in the first screen. Can someone please tell me what I'm supposed to do with this screen?


Thank you for helping out!

Is there no one who knows the answer for me?

Have you searched the thread here:

Yes I have but I really do not understand what to do here in this screen. I don't know how to download my categories.

Are you trying to DOWNLOAD or UPLOAD your categories/products?

I'm guessing you want to upload to your catalog. In that case the first line on this screen is to specify where the file that has the properly formated data for your categories/products is.

Your original download file of EP has examples of the various formats you can upload for reference on field names and field order. Lots of people us a spreadsheet program to format the data but you can also use a database program like Filemaker or anything that can export to a delineated file.

If I guessed wrong, sorry.

Thank you for helping but I first need to download my categories (if it is possible, i don't know if it is). They are all empty categories. Than I need to edit it in excel and then I need to upload it again. But it's they downloading where I get stuck. I don't see a button that says download. And I don't know what easy_label_product_start means. Or split file?

So in essence my question is how do I download my empty categories.

From your screenshot, it looks like you've got a corrupt file in the EP mod. Try to FTP the EP files again - do them one by one. And make sure you READ the install help files.

I'll take a look at my notes and will come back later if I see something obvious...

AH... Looks like you may have installed the WRONG VERSION of EP !

The version you are using is for ZC 1.2.x

If you are using ZC 1.3...

Remove this version of EP and install the version for 1.3.x

Thank you all so much for helping. I'm going to try to install for ZC 1.3
