EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

If the field `products_family` exists in the product's table and the row contains the primary key that has been chosen, then import of that data should work or a message is provided about it not working.

To further test, I would recommend exporting one or more product that already have information in that field to see that it is exported and to provide a sort of example.

There is no other code modification necessary to support that in an otherwise functional system.

The import did not prompt any errors, but there was no value in the database.

This field is exported but cannot be imported

If not I would expect some reason to be provided. Perhaps the CSV file is not formatted properly, perhaps the primary key used (default is products_model) is listed for more than one product such that an update is not going to the correct product. In this case would suggest changing the primary key to products_id.

The import did not prompt any errors, but there was no value in the database.

And after the file was uploaded to the server, the file was then imported? (upload places the file on the server, import processes the file to push the content to the database.) this part has been misunderstood by some before.

Is this set up correctly?

That looks correct to support import by products_model. Might suggest changing the primary_key to products_id, exporting then updating the products_family field for the items with the appropriate products_id. Note, that if you are wanting to add new product, I recommend the use of new_blank as the promary key. Then new product that do not have a products_id will be given one.

I installed this plug-in, you can try, see where the problem is, I want to through the batch scale, batch import keywords.
I added custom fields and the content could not be imported

What does new_blank and primary_key mean, I do n’t quite understand?

In process of moving from Oscommerce to Zen Cart. Part of process is using Easy Populate to export default Zen Cart product database to use as spreadsheet template. Installed EP 4.0, shows up in tools, but when I try to export I get an immediate 500 error. Same thing happens no matter what option I try. We do have the zen cart directory set up below the top level domain but pretty sure I've put temp directories for EP to copy to.

Thoughts?

Check the logs directory for myDebug-adm related files to see what is going on. May be a permissions issue of the folder used as a destination, may be something else.
