Pripros:

Attached your ACTUAL CSV file. You may have to zip it first to be able to attach it. I have a feeling you have your site with multiple languages.

If this is so, when you are on the Easy Populate 4 tools page, what is the information on the right of the screen giving your for your languages, default languages?

Did you follow the instructions and FIRST create a product in the admin normally, then export it? This will give your heading and file structure.

The error you receive means that your did not define the same category tree for BOTH installed languages:

v_categories_names_1 : "My Top Level^Level Two"
v_categories_names_2 : "My Top Level^Level Two" (in some other language)

Hi Pripros!

Could you send me a PM? We'll need to work on that off line.

So, once again I get to embarrass myself publicly. Turns out the solution to my problem was an un-terminated html comment. Good grief. I didn't see it in the field while inside LibreOffice and only found it once I inspected the text. Good grief.

My life continues to be a cautionary tale. :-P

Hi chadderuski

I have a large Easy populate Advance File and its about 43 mb in size. I installed your easy populate, I loaded my file in open office calc and saved it as a .CSV file and renamed it CategoryMeta-EP.csv.

Inside easy populate page section within admin panel I click browse and then click Upload. It takes a while but then the page blinks and nothing.

You think the file is too big?

Will you do this for me for a fee?

Thanks

Site is v1.5
Using latest version of EasyPopulate 4
Using OpenOffice
csv comma separated and " text delimiter
Meta tags import not working.
Is there something special that needs to be done?

Thanks,

Meta tags import not working.

I just added a few days ago, and had no problem. Did you add a few in admin and export to see how they looked?

I have a problem with GST and this mod. The rate of our GST is 10%
An export from easy populate will show prices excluding gst.
When I import these prices I get extra cents showing up on some products because theres some rounding off going on somewhere.

Eg price inc gst of an item is $15
The price that gets exported is $13.64, thats excl gst which is incorrect
15/1.1 is actually 13.636363

When I import this product, I get $13.64 + 10% = $15.004.

Now this might have been a bad example, as $15.004 should be ok, but some come out with an extra cent, anf the gross price will show something like $19.01 when it should be $19

How do I overcome this?
Site is 1.39h using latest version of the mod.
