EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Hi

I usually upload the CSV via FileZilla and then go into EP4 and use import

First couple of lines of error code is :

"MySQLi error 1364: Field 'categories_description' doesn't have a default value
When executing:
INSERT INTO zen49_categories_description SET
categories_id = 2329,
language_id = 1,
categories_name = 'Desktop Components'
MySQLi error 1364: Field 'categories_description' doesn't have a default value
When executing:
INSERT INTO zen49_categories_description SET
categories_id = 2330,
language_id = 1,
categories_name = 'Graphics & Video Cards'
MySQLi error 1366: Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'products_sort_order' at row 1
When executing:
INSERT INTO zen49_products SET
products_model = 'mAF710-2048D3LD4',"

Use the upload feature in ZC and see if that clears up your issue...

The reason I have been using easy populate for the last 10 years, first on OSCommerce and for the last 2 years in Zencart is that it creates the categories and sub categories on the fly as I have over 10 000 items on my site under 65 main categories

I am using exactly the same file that I used on my previous site from the same version of EP 4.0.36.ZC - 07-05-2016

This aspect of the code has been this way for a long time; however, has only relatively recently become an issue as a result of more stringent mysql processing. I have a fix applied to a more recent version; however, there is still at least one issue to finish addressing before publishing the change.

I'll put together a fix for this against 4.0.36 within a few hours and post it back to here.

The issue though is the absence of a default value for categories_description and EP4 has basically "ignored" the field when storing a new category instead of recognizing that the field has no default and go ahead and place an empty value into the field. That is something I'll put together as a patch for 4.0.36.

Gave myself more time than I needed.

Please see the patch posted here: https://github.com/mc12345678/EasyPo...d8ece049540e49

This is based off of the 4.0.36.ZC fileset and incorporates a default value. I had started a new issue for this problem, see issue #48.

Sorry, patch did not work - after trying to import a file the screen goes blank and I have to go back a page to get back to EP4

Hi again

By searching on Google about this same error, it seems my host has "STRICT_TRANS_TABLES" set on mySQL which could cause this error?

I have tried to remove this setting according to their instructions, but it seems that they have to do it, so I have sent them a request to do so

I think I found the problem - on my old website the value of Categories_description in the NULL column is set to NO, on the new website it is set to YES?

[Russalpcs]

Maybe the error is that I used Softaculous to load the new site? After I have updated the stock on my old site to list new adverts on Bid or Buy for the next week I will load another v156 from a direct download and see if I get the same errors
