Umm, yes. Is yours a 1.5.4 install and not upgrade from another version?

yes - fresh install

Nobody had noticed that discrepancy before! Thanks. I've made the correction in my instructions.

I copied and pasted the instruction from your readme file. It couldn't pick up the script in the find and replace, so I matched it as closely as possible.

Busy saving now. Will revert with result.

My admin crashed, so I reverted to the old coding. Admin working again.

Can I send you the files?

Could someone tell me if I can use my own product datanames that I've added to the products table, in the import facility using Apsona please?

If not, would it be easy enough to add new fields to the import? I don't want to go to the trouble of installing it, if it won't do it! Thanks!

When you import, you can choose what csv columns to map to which database fields so yes it accomodates non-standard zen fields that you have added.

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I'm really pleased with your answer! My sister wasn't comfortable with doing the import of the .csv file in phpMyAdmin, so this should save me a lot of work, as she will now be able to do it herself with Apsona Store Manager and won't need to get me involved at all! Good news!

Thanks!

Still struggling to use the Apsona import csv to add descriptions to some new products. After a few go arounds I was able to get it to import my csv file. But..

All the first occurrence apostrophes are replaced with the little black diamond with a question mark in it. Second occurrence translates fine.

I've tried (without spaces)

& # 8217 ;
& # 39 ;
and escaping with \

all to no avail. Anyone have any hints for this stubborn module? I'm trying to update about a hundred products and doing these by hand isn't a great alternative.

[linniedarling]

and if you might include an escape for double quotes and for an accent mark.

I wish this was as easy to use as the old EZ populate.
