EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[mc12345678]

I have downloaded this: easy_populate_csv_for_zencart_v1.5.x_v1.2.6.1

Similar program, different thread... think that the same issue has been "described" there for some time.

But, while you're here, maybe you'd like to try this version. Download is here.

Sorry, but if you use attributes in your import there's a minor patch a couple of posts back.

No problem. Certainly threw me for a loop, but either without asking (or initially posting) might have gone chasing the wrong thing. :)

I know I've been meaning to make the plugin description more informative, but haven't submitted the requested text yet. The plugin finally reached a state of being submitted for approval and well... the plugin description didn't include more pertinent detail unlike the expectation for a store product description.

Anyways, glad you got through that hurdle.

Thank you!!! I probably would have kept beating my head against the wall!! Works great now!

Hi mc12345678
"Activate Blank Featured" miss the setting field at right.

Please explain. Right side of screen when looking at the configuration menu, right side of the a function that uses the constant? Is it enabled but not capturing one of the conditions? Etc.

I'm stumped. I uploaded the files but Easy Populate does not show up under Admin>Tools.

Here's what I've done.
I uploaded all the files in the admin directory to my site maintaining directory structure within admin from EasyPopulate-4.0-4.0.35.
I then logged in to my store's admin and looked under Tools. There is nothing there for Easy Populate.
I made note of the below comment from install.txt . . .

4. Login to your store's admin. Under Tools you will see a new entry "Easy Populate 4". 
   (If you do not see this entry, you did not upload your files correctly.)

I then checked and confirmed that each and every file was uploaded to the correct directory with the exception of the following that were not uploaded . . .

\admin\includes\languages\deutsche\ -- since I only need English
\examples\ -- since it was not in the admin directory and the instructions said to upload the files in the admin directory maintaining directory structure
\htaccess4AdminTempFolder\ -- since it was not in the admin directory
\examples\ -- since it was not in the admin directory
\zencart 1.3 extra files\ -- since I'm using Zen Cart 1.5.5a

Any ideas?

My vitals
1. Zen Cart v1.5.5a fresh clean install including demo data; files uploaded via FTP then run zc_install
2. Linux Apache
3. PHP Version: 5.6.17 (Zend: 2.6.0)
4. Database: MySQL 5.5.42-37.1-log
5. Database Backup MySQL Addon

More than likely the admin directory within the EP4 package has been copied to YOUR_SECRET_ADMIN folder rather than the contents of the admin directory within the EP4 package being copied there.

If you locate the file easypopulate_4.php on your server, what other file(s) are in the directory with it? If they are only other EP4 files, then loaded to the wrong location.

Installation of EP4 with regards to loading the contents of the admin directory to your server's admin directory is very similar to the installation of any other ZC plugin. It is an admin side application with no catalog side facing software (no basic includes folder).

Good thought. However, there are many other files in my secret admin directory /zen-cart-v1.5.5a-05052016/MY_SECRET_ADMIN/
Alphabetically the 1st file is admin_account.php and the last is zones.php
easypopulate_4.php and the four other easypopulate php files are also in there.

Also, as recommended in install.txt I successfully installed Back MYSQL Plugin. So backup_mysql.php is also in there indicating that I understood, at least in one case, how to upload files to MY_SECRET_ADMIN

What should I check out next?

Thanks so much for your assistance!

When you access your admin, does the path to your admin include zen-cart-v1.5.5a-05052016 when looking at the uri of your browser?

Does backup_mysql.php exist elsewhere in your file structure off of the catalog front end?
