Hi
Sorry for my english, i'm spanish and write bad
Please, I need help with typical spanish symbols. When I import a CSV file, if exist spanish symbol in the descriptions, then cut the description.
Example: To import "Pequeño horno eléctrico" in the BD only appears "Peque", because the next character only exist in spanish.
I don't know solve it
Thanks, regards

Hey!
Couple of questions... which version of zencart? which version of EP4? Are you using UTF-8 characters? If so, are your databases set to UTF-8?

Would appreciate it if you could PM me and send a link of the file you are importing. So far from my testing, I have not had any trouble with spanish.

How many languages do you have installed?

Your file doesn't look correct. Simplify things by going into Configuration -> Easy Populate 4 and set "Enable Products Meta Data" to False (0).

And I need a section of that entire file. Patching in the forum without attaching the file doesn't help at all. For all I know, you left off category names, or
you did category names wrong for multilingual sites. If you don't want to attached a file to the forum, send me a PM with a link to a file somewhere.

I'll not be able to help you otherwise. There are just too many variables!

Chad,

We installed Easy Populate 4.0.19 - Beta 1-28-2012 first. Later we installed Numinix version of Google Feeder. The Google Feeder added the UPC, ISBN, EAN, ASIN, Wholesale Price, MSRP Price, and Condition to the product database. When I added v_products_upc to my excel spreadsheet it does not add the UPC code to my product. I'm just trying to see if I can get one product to update before trying my entire inventory. Does the install of easy populate have to occur after the Google Feeder? If not, How do I get the UPC code to add to the database?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Update to the latest version of EP 4.0.22 - Beta 6-10-2012 now at github. I added support for User Defined Products Fields. You'll be able to add your field names in the configuration sections, then export/import with the appropriate column headers.

Thanks Chadd,

We installed the new version EP 4.0.22 - But the Admin "Easy Populate 4" does not show any new fields. According to what I read it should have a new field with true and false. I also updated by spreadsheet with the column name of v_products_upc - no success. So I changed it to products_upc - no success. On the Tools menu - it does show TRUE next to UPC. Did we install something wrong?

Product Short Descriptions: FALSE
Product Unit of Measure: FALSE
Product UPC Code: TRUE
Google Product Category: FALSE
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price: TRUE
Group Pricing Per Item: FALSE
Exclusive Products Mod: FALSE

Just to let you know I've used easy populate to upload over 6,000 products with success. I just can't get the UPC to upload.

Chadd,

We fixed the issue with the UPC - one of the directories didn't get uploaded to the site.

I was under the impression the ADMIN was also suppose change. I don't see any additional options listed in the ADMIN. Can you help with this?

Uploads Directory EPUploads/
Upload File Date Format m-d-y
Default Raw Time 09:00:00
Upload/Download Prices Include Tax false
Verbose Feedback true
Make Zero Qty Products Inactive false
Smart Tags Replacement of Newlines true
Advanced Smart Tags false
Debug Logging true
Maximum Quantity Discounts 3
Split On Number of Records 8000
Script Execution Time 60
Convert Curly Quotes, etc. 0

Thanks
Kevin

You need to go to Tools -> Easy Populate 4 and click Un-Install, then click Install again to load the new configuration variables...
