btw... I think inserting the "zc_" label in front of the categories may have made the difference.
Again, not sure which variant of Easypopulate you are using, but if you use EasyPopulate V4, then goto the configuration menu, verify that Enable Products Music Data is set to 1 (true), then you should see in the export of your existing product the fields associated with music genre/product... If you want to modify the metatags, then there there is an option for that as well, but you should see the following additional fields:
Code:
v_artists_name
v_artists_image
v_artists_url_1
v_record_company_name
v_record_company_image
v_record_company_url_1
v_music_genre_name
Therefore there is no "ID" to enter, just be sure to use the same text for information that you expect to group together. For example, Rock is different than rock and will be treated as a different genre.
Because that information is not specifically in the products table, adding that field would likely not produce any usable results unless you have something that added that field to the products table. EP4 was written a few years back with consideration of this part, but I recommend that you use version 4.0.36 or higher because in editing to support ZC 1.5.4 back in January of 2015, an error was accidentally introduced that wasn't pointed out until a few months ago. Well actually the results of the error were pointed out, the error was independently identified and realized. Not a proud moment, but carry on anyways.
