Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Erica]

This morning i was trying to see what i could of done wrong and downloaded a new full EP spreadsheet and all the filenames in the image column said no picture.gif .. then all of a sudden it clicked ..

Yesterday i had uploaded the spreadsheet with the filenames in and then uploaded the images so when it saw that the images were not there it obvously changed all the filenames to no picture.gif

Today i have re-entered all the file names into the spreadsheet and re-uploaded it and it all works ok

Doh! another blonde moment in the life of Erica lol

I was using an older version of EP - I re-installed the newest version, all works now.

Hi there,
I installed the latest 3.0.3 and done a store download. Then i tried to re-up up into a blank DB in my test store and i got this error on all the items:
No existing category provided for this new product
Using - Primary Index products_model - if that matters.
Am i doing something wrong here?
Thanks and as always keep up the great work :)

Not a very big problem, but somehow I got 4 (!!) entries in my admin to go to the Easy Populate page. Not every link works, but HOW can I get rid of the not-working entries ? The only one that works is in the other list, underneathe the SQL patches.

Similar issue..I have opened a ticket and attached a file at zencartbuilder, no reply there in a few day so far.

Here is some test data of mine that will not work:
http://www.speedtoys.biz/downloads/Book1.xls <--safe data to play with

Spankin fresh 1.3.7 install
3.0.1 install of EP, with the single known bug edited/fixed in code.

And products_id is the index method for this install.

Many thanks in advance.

Alrighty,
My problem was that the categories weren't made yet. I thought it did it automatically. Couldn't see anything about it in the docs but searched forums on Zenbuilder and found this :-

Grab the Demo Categories and yer off.

Thats.."solved" my problem, but I just wanna say, that unless I am missing something, this seems way messier than the old way of adding columns to define additional category depths.

Especially when I have an three excel files full of categories.


..can only have 65530'ish lines per excel file ya know.


The old way..just made em as you needed them.

Guys, 3.0.3 is the advanced version, and is not supported here. Please post any such support issues on the forum mentioned above - thank you.

Can do..I'll keep it over there.

I know yore busy..but thats where I was in trying to understand the new layouts.



Im sure it will work as good as it always has..once it wants to work with -me- just a little. Will review again the readme file, although..I do certainly miss the automagic building of the metadata.
