EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Well, the copy that came through to me had your admin directory throughout the post. At any rate, the last message of the log indicates that you are using a version that is not fully compatible with Zahn cart 1.5.8. There are two ways to at least get really close.

Either, make the two edits described over the last 15 pages or so (pretty much at least once on each page) or use the github.com version referenced within the last two pages or so.

I've been trying to get a little time to update the files associated with installing the software for the case of the temporary directory not yet existing; however, keep getting interrupted with other things. Generally speaking the updated version should work.

Unfortunately I must also figure out what the best instructions are because the new version also works as a zc_install style plugin even though there is an Ajax related file that appears must be loaded to the catalog even though the zc_install process seems to ignore catalog related code. Don't have to have the added feature, but helps those that care about attributes.

ok great, I will use use the github.com version you referenced and let ya'll know how it went. Thank you!

For information, the github.com site was updated about 22 hours ago to correct the other issue that was recently identified. About an error logged when debugging is on (default) and the directory not yet existing.

Besides possibly the addition of additional notifier s, in all working on a change in the way of establishing default values. Feedback, good or bad, is sordid.

ok. after installing I see easy pop on my tools but once again, when I click on it it says http 500 error and I can't configure or do anything with it. The error log is as follows:

I should have updated the date associated with the version but about five hours ago or less I made a change to the class file reported as the issue: admin/includes/classes/class.query_factory_ep4.php

Zen Cart 1.5.7d
Easy Populate 4.0.36.ZC - 07-05-2016
Import/Export Primary Key set to products_id

We're trying to delete a bunch of products. The csv file consists of only'
v_products_id v_products_type v_products_name_1 v_categories_name_1 v_status
219273 1 Product Name 9

On import, I'm getting
NOT FOUND! - Model: 219273 - cant delete...

This site does not use model numbers for any products. I assumed setting the import/export key to products_id would have the import use the products_id and not model.

NOT FOUND! - Model: 219273 - cant delete...

This site does not use model numbers for any products. I assumed setting the import/export key to products_id would have the import use the products_id and not model.

Interesting condition. I too would expect the deletion even though I know there are some changes in the latest version that might address/relate; however, when trying to review the 4.0.36ZC code:

        while ($row = ($ep_uses_mysqli ? mysqli_fetch_array($result) : mysql_fetch_array($result) )) { // chadd - this executes once?? why use while-loop??          $product_is_new = false; // we found products_model in database
          // Get current products descriptions and categories for this model from database
          // $row at present consists of current product data for above fields only (in $sql)




          // since we have a row, the item already exists.
          // let's check and delete it if requested   
          // v_status == 9 is a delete request  
          $continueNextRow = false;
          if ($items[$filelayout['v_status']] == 9) {
            $chosen_key = '';
            switch (EP4_DB_FILTER_KEY) {
              case 'products_model':
                $chosen_key = 'v_products_model';
                break;
              case 'blank_new':
              case 'products_id':
                $chosen_key = 'v_products_id';
                break;
              default:
                $chosen_key = 'v_products_model';
                break;
            }




            $display_output .= sprintf(EASYPOPULATE_4_DISPLAY_RESULT_DELETED, $items[$filelayout[$chosen_key]]);
            ep_4_remove_product($items[$filelayout[$chosen_key]]);




            $continueNextRow = true;
          }
      
          $zco_notifier->notify('EP4_IMPORT_FILE_EARLY_ROW_PROCESSING');




          if ($continueNextRow == true) {
            continue 2; // short circuit - loop to next record
          }

The appearance to me is that the result of the while condition is "falsey" causing that internal deletion to be skipped and leading to the message after the while loop indicating the product could not be found.

That said also, the above "file" data doesn't present what might be expected. It appears that there are only four pieces of data below the five column headers. I suspect this displayed condition is because the spreadsheet data was directly copied into this chat instead of the csv file contents. Because you are getting the error that you are, it seems one of the columns is made of non-problematic "empty" data.

It could be that the product does not have data fully across all necessary tables: Note the query.

the products_to_categories table, categories and products tables are effectively all inner joined requiring a record in all three that give at least one result when queried on the products_id. So if that product isn't in the products_to_categories table or if the categories table doesn't have a match to the products_to_categories table, then the query doesn't find any results and we get the falsey value that bypasses the attempt to delete.

Can it, will it delete with that minimal amount of information, I would say yes and suggest reviewing the results of that query. May I suggest trying phpMyAdmin to run that query substituting the necessary data where it would be coded into the query. Again I suspect the result is 0 values returned and then need to figure out why.

Originally and only for information, I was going to question what filename is used; however, the response received indicates the file is being processed as an "everything else" file.

Thank you for the details trouble shooting and explanation.

This is the issue, the product_id does not exist in the products_to_categories table. I can't say how the products were added, probably with Apsona. I'll write a custom query to delete the products for this client.

Much appreciated!

Much appreciated!

Alternatively the query in EP4 could be modified to support let joins for each of the tables instead of one joins. I would expect that to at least in part resolve the issue of being able to delete the product.

There are multiple possible reasons of the loss of product to category relationship. Glad that were able to confirm or identify the problem with that configuration.
