EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[mc12345678]

Fresh install of current latest version of EP says "NOTE: A NEW VERSION OF THIS PLUGIN IS AVAILABLE". I couldn't get the LOG_PLUGIN_VERSIONCHECK_FAILURES setting to work and I didn't have time to look at it further. The only thing I did notice is that the comment in easypopulate_4.php on line 102 references an old version number, but obviously this is not the root cause of the issue.

Cause of this is the discrepancy between the Zen Cart plugins reporting: 4.0.37.ZC
and the internal software (admin/includes/modules/easypopulate_4_version.php) reporting: 4.0.37.13

4.0.37.ZC > 4.0.37.13 and therefore there is a "new" version, though it is the same software between the two.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I think there's a problem with version 4.0.37.13.

I cannot upload a 6MB file. The local php.ini is set to 16MB as shown: https://prnt.sc/13d0r6k

I don't know where the 2MB limit is coming from. This site had the previous version and we were able to upload files over 2MB.

The new version now takes into account the maximum file upload size of configuration->maximum settings: MAX_FILE_UPLOAD_SIZE

Well, there I have it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Guys,

Just installed the latest EP4 from GITHUB on ZC v1.5.7b.

I checked the log files and found this warning.
I have searched the threads but couldn't find anything that directly relates.
Can you advise on how to fix the issue.
Many Thanks. :)

When say that "installed" the latest update, please elaborate.

While I recognie that it appears that the above will occur upon initial software placement and before the install is complete (something I need to address), that issue should go away after the software is fully installed. Meaning that the log will not be generated any more.

hi mc12345678, :)

I just checked the log folder and yes the errors have stopped.

Thank you for your reply. :)

I use product IDs that are a mix of letters and numbers. Totally not consecutive and have never run into a problem.

I'm sorry if this is mentioned somewhere in this post, but I can't find it.
I want to use EP to upload products to multiple SUB-categories.
So for example ... a comic book...same book needs to go into two sub categories...

The book: Marvel Comics - Captain America

By Publisher (Main top level Category)
Marvel (Sub-Category)

By Title (Main top level Category)
C (Sub Category)

I can't figure out how to do this, or IF it can be done, using the columns in the exported file.

Thanks in advance.

Each row of data will be placed in the category to which that row is assigned. A category is made of the root category followed by each sub-category of the previous category separated by a carat (^). So primary category of Marvel with a sub-category of Captain America would be represented by Marvel^Captain America. The category is placed in the column for your language identifier. A default install would use v_categories_name_1 or v_categories_name_en depending on your settings.

To place a product in multiple categories, copy the row that is to contain the information about the product to a row below the previous and change the category name. Note, the last row that applies to the product will contain the data that will be inserted/updated associated to that product.
