Thanks, I'll take a look.

As the field products_sort_order is in the PRODUCTS table in the database, it is possible to incorporate this into easy populate. (I have successfully added many additional fields in the products tables to my copy of EP.)

The technique for adding fields is described here:-

shadowcast et al...

I have a reworked file that should be ready before end of week after testing. Shoot me your email if you need it then or

I will also update that old one in the downloads section so future folks can have it since it is obviously popular

It worked perfectly for me... I followed LankeeYankee's instructions carefully... and had no problems at all.

So the problem cannot be with the method LankeeYankee advocates.

I think you may find the problem by looking in a mirror

OK... that's a bit cruel... no offence meant.

Have you tried my ZIPPED file, loaded in the previous post?

Have searched without success for an answer to this one so......
I am trying to use easy populate to conduct a stocktake of our inventory. I have a multiple price add-on which I use to record the cost price on each product. When I download the complete inventory using easy populate into excell it only gives me the retail price but I want it to give me the 'Price A' price which is where we record our cost price on items. What needs to be changed in the code to make it download the 'A' price as well or instead of the retail price?

Shadowcast,

I don't know if this helps you, but I use Dreamweaver. Open the admin/easypopulate.php file and use the "Find and Replace".

Type in v_products_weight then hit the "find all".

If it shows any found, you may have missed one that needs to be changed to sort order.

That file by schoolbow really works great...

The procedure is sound enough... but I would not advise novices to use DreamWeaver to do file edits.

The same SEARCH function is available in plain text editors (mcuh better to use these) such as EMERALD editor and NOTEPAD ++ .

i just tried using schoolboy file and hit a problem.

First, the old easy populate will show the files in the tempEp from your admin,but it no longer shows, after uploading, all i get was a white screen.

new, i save it under csv and it can now upload, but my products are not able to upload. even thought it says that it is successful.
