[COLOR=red]ADD NEW PRODUCT FAILED! - Model: VP-DCM10PVP - SQL error. Check Easy Populate error log in uploads directory

The Error log says the problem is in * INSERT INTO zen_products * Where though would I find the coding for this?

If anyone could help that would be GREAT.

I have tried to look at you test file but it will not import into excel(with tab limited format), but your date format in the second line appears to be wrong but cannot really tell from your example, if this is not the problem attach the file to your reply

I'm thinking not... However, good idea. I think it's the "insert into zen_products" sql that is the problem although I don't know where it's expecting me to go... I went to my phpMyAdmin and checked the zen_products table and all seemed to be okay.

I looked at the file and it looks OK, it is updating the first product OK, I could see there was an issue in your original post but not in this file, if you read the error it is suggesting there are/an tab/s in a field. Have you changed anything to do with easypopulate since you entered the first product?

[yellowdaises]

ok thanks for those suggestions but what if i want to at least *check* the INSERT INTO zen_products ?? i can't seem to find it in my phpmyadmin. i'm sure i'm looking in the wrong place. if someone could direct me there i'd be grateful. thanks

Hello everyone! I'm curious if any people have successfully integrated product types into easypopulate? I'm currently redesigning a bookstore website which has 1000++ products, and 100s of new titles and restocks every month. So an easypopulate + product type is a must.

Way back in 2003 I used oscommerce 2.1 for the bookstore and hard coded all the extra product fields into oscommerce and easypopulate... ugh. Back then, the easypopulate mod was a pain, but ultimately a matter of copy + paste. However with Zen Cart and product types, modding easypopulate is a different animal altogether.

Hope that made sense. Suggestions, encouragement, links, anyone?

I have installed EZpopulate Standard with my 1.3.7 store and I am able to download the complete data that I imported using admin, however I am unable to upload anything to the DB. I get a 406 error that says: "Not Acceptable: An appropriate representation of the requested resource /~hotnbott/catalog/admin/easypopulate.php could not be found on this server." I checked to make sure the file was uploaded in the file manager and It is there. What could be causing this problem?

[hugslife]

It could be a permissions issue--check to make sure that easypopulate.php is set to 644 on your server. If that doesn't work, try setting the permissions to 777.

Sounds like a mod_security or similar sort of thing. I'd talk to your host / system admin.

BTW... 777 is never a good idea, and should only be last resort.

Ok, non of the chmod settings worked other than 644. Setting the file to anything higher caused an internal database error. I talked to my system admin and he doesn't know how to fix the problem. any other ideas?
