EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[mc12345678]

Is the 4.0.26 compatible with ZC 1.5.1? or it is for 1.5.3 only?

There has been no compatibility change in the software. While it is in the best interest of a store owner to upgrade to the most recent/stable version for many reasons, the software is written to continue support for all versions that it has previously been written, which I believe at this time is considered 1.3.9 through 1.5.3 with exception that 1.5.2 was not factored into the compatibility as it was not a formal release and really should not be used in a production environment anyways.

So, short answer, yes it is compatible with 1.5.1 also.

That's awesome MC, thank you so much. I was expecting you to come back and say "No, it can't be done", I wasn't expecting a new release that addresses my problem perfectly! Thanks again, I love your work

Kind Regards

Though I'm likely to regret saying this. :) there is little that can't be done with the code to do what is desired within ZC. Some things just take longer than others. :) and some things are just not within the capability of the individual, but that's also what this whole open source stuff is about, can't do personally (for any number of reasons: on vacation, doing other paying work, need to learn something, etc...), someone else probably can. :)

And to be honest, I was a little surprised that the issue wasn't already covered seeing how much great stuff this little program already handles. I keep saying it's pretty powerful and chadderuski did a great job of converting the old stuff into this.

Just wanted to report back and let you know that the update worked perfectly. Thanks very much again MC (and of course to Chad)

Glad to hear back that it works. I did notice this week that there is a minor coding error. Users of version 4.0.25+ will see the SBA options even if SBA is not installed. A $ is missing in the admin's easypopulate_4.php file at the check before displaying the menu option(s). Will update to 4.0.26a to address that. In the meantime, choosing any of those options without SBA installed will generate EP4 errors.

Version 4.0.26a has been uploaded to github, the update now correctly hides the SBA options for those that don't hve SBA installed.

Didn't mention it before, but the files just needed to be replaced. No uninstall/reinstall necessary.

Hi mc 12345678
For the function "import basic attributes", is there a file name limitation? A file, if I named it as products_atti.csv, it wouldn't work. If I changed its name as "Attrib-Basic-EP2014Oct26-131918.csv", it worked fine.

Yes there is and is so with most of the files. Everything up to the EP helps the code identify the action to be taken with the file. The date information after that can be modified as desired.

If I'm understanding all the research I've read here in this thread there is no way to use this mod to import products that are priced by attributes, eg, size1- $5, size2 $10, size3 $15, etc...? And if no anyone have an answer how to import products when they are priced by attribute such as choose quantity?

Don't know what led to that conclusion but it is wrong. EasyPopulate v4 can very easily handle price by attribute and other aspects of attributes... Suggestion is to export a few of the different downloads and take alook at the available data. Without modificatiion, most of that datacan be modified and then uploaded.
