Thank You Dr Byte.

After a couple of days of fighting Easy Populate Advanced and ZC 1.3.9h I finally gave up and started searching for someone to pay to try to install it for me. I had done it before but for some reason was having trouble with this version of ZC.

While searching, I came across Apsona ShopAdmin and decided to take a look at it. WOW it was so simple to install, everything goes into one folder and your done. It worked great first time, no problems and looks like it'll be terrific especially for the number of products I will need to upload and take care of. Very simple interface and although I haven't had the chance to try everything in it, I'm very pleased with what it does and the ease of using it.

Thank you, Apsona, for something so easy to use and install.

I have apsona installed but I am having a problem with importing files. I am using the Zencart product finder addon and I am having trouble trying to match the file structure.

I have a master category (ID used for it is *) with three sub categories, Make Model and Year.

Off of the sub categories I have sub-sub categories that represent the make, ie ford ,chev, model, ie taurus, ranger, year, ie 1990, 1991 etc.

How do I create a table structure to match the above.?

PS. See the image/diagram I have posted at the following thread

I'm not sure if you will see this but I did something similar on my site. I used the categories flyout add on and also a mod to kill the links to the sub cats that aren't holding anything. Seems to work but I'd be better off paying someone for this as the original intent isn't quite there. I did upload about 400 categories and subcategories with success and also the products in them. If you'd like more info I may be able to help.

I would like to extend a big thank you to Apsona for fixing an issue that was reported with mass deleting records. The delete process appeared to "hang" at times and caused high CPU usage on the server. I reported this to Apsona and they had it fixed and included in an update the very next day - the process now completes almost instantaneously and the issue is completely resolved!

Your service is stellar, as is your product! THANK YOU, APSONA!

juxx, if you're going to splatter your problems all over multiple discussion threads, at least have the courtesy to come back and post the resolution so others know how you fixed it.

I have to say that Apsona was VERY easy to install and operate. We're not heavy users of all of its features, but it immediately did all of what we needed it to do.

Just a pro-Apsona post...

Anybody have any problems importing products with a bug that is taking the product code and substituting it as the product ID? I finally was able to duplicate it so I'm positive that is what is happening...

So my products table has product_ID 3959 and the product model number I'm importing is 3959. It continues to say the products are already in the table when it clearly is not. I enabled the "Update The Database" for duplicates to track it down and successfully altered product ID 3959 now showing 3959 for the model number when none existed and it should have added the product not modified and also should not see a duplicate when the 3959 number is listed in the "Model" column.

Yes the header was NOT prod_ID so this should have never have happened. Can anyone help? I've got over 6K products ready to load and this is causing major problems. The only thing I can think to do (which does work) is renumber the products with letters but that will cause mismatch problems for me.

Paul69 - Thanks for your note. I am able to reproduce the problem. We will have a fix deployed for it within the next day or so.

Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Regards.

Well I didn't expect that but let me say, the product is great! There are things I can do that EP could not and I have the pro version which I've used up to this point. This is a nice add on and actually more than just an add on as it really functions virtually all by it self.

I am glad you could reproduce because I've been fighting with it for over a week trying to determine what was causing it and finally figured out what it was doing.

You guys are doing great and I do appreciate it!!!
