Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[mfederko]

Hi-
Another newbie here. I'm bleary eyed from all the reading.
I am setting up a new store. I've gotten the hang of EP and uploading the data base. My question concerns the Blank Discounts Box. I have found where to enable it and manually enter the quantities and prices for quantity discounts. That's all OK with a handful of products but how can I get EP to populate those items automatically from the database?
I know it should be able to be done with minor changes, but I am totally at a loss at this point.

thanks

Is this the same thread for 1.2.5.5 that uses a csv? I just installed this but am getting the same error.

EASYPOPULATE_MSGSTACK_INSTALL_KEYS_FAIL

I also had this error in 1.2.4.5 --

Is there something additional for the install I am missing that's obvious besides just copying in easypopulate.php into the admin folder? This seems like such a great product if I can get it working...

Nevermind... I re-did the entire install and needed the SQL file to be copied in... now I think she's working!

It's not about 1.2.5.4 but Easy Populate Advanced 3.0.3. But I couldn't find a right thread. Please help me!

I have installed Easy Populate Advanced 3.0.3 as per installation manual.
I have been using Easy Populate Advanced 3.0 before.

But Error message came up saying

Your uploads folder is either missing, has incorrect permissions, or does not correspond with the Easy Populate configuration. Please confirm that the Easy Populate Configuration contains the correct location of an existing folder. Easy Populate cannot operate until you have provided an uploads folder with read/write permissions. Note that these permissions are required by PHP and your web server application. Usually permissions equal to chmod 700 are required, but you may require chmod 777 depending on your hosting server setup.

As, I could not solve the problem above, I have decided to try Easy Populate 1.2.5.4.

Everything was working fine with 1.2.5.4 but I liked Advanced version better hence decided to install EP Advanced 3.0.3.

However, now error message come up as:

Configuration Error
Easy Populate has detected a version upgrade is required. Easy Populate will upgrade by clicking the link above.?Note: this will retain your current Easy Populate admin configuration.
?Easy Populate Upgrade Required. To upgrade retaining your current settings, click here.

When I click the click here button it comes up as

?Your installation was updated successfully and correct Easy Populate Advance 3.0.3 module shows up with upload / split / import, browse, data files and data templates etc.

However, when I click any of the buttons it goes back to Configuration Error message again.

I have deleted all the files and folders from EPAdvanced 3.0 or EP 1.2.5.4 and freshly installed EP Advanced 3.0.3

I am stuck!!! Your help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks for your time in advance!!!

Hi. I could solve my problem by force. It's ugly solution but I'm happy as it works.

I comment-out some lines in /admin/easypopulate.php:

/*
if (strpos($description['configuration_group_description'], $ep_version) == false || $keys_check_fail)
{
$config_fail[] = 'EASYPOPULATE_FAIL_CONFIG_UPGRADE';
$epMsgStack->add(sprintf(EASYPOPULATE_MSGSTACK_UPGRADE_RQD, '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_EASYPOPULATE, 'langer=update">'),'</a>'), 'caution');
}
*/

It doesn't show the configuration error about upgrade by it.

I'm not sure how influence it has but won't upgrade EP for a while. So it's enough for me.

Thank you!

Hi, Please help. Iam trying to update my product data however everything was updated but the url does not even though it shows on summary page after updating with EP as updated but going to the admin product section it is not updated and hence it does not show on the website.

Sorry, but I'm another newbie who can't get Easy Populate to do a darn thing.

It installed okay, Temp folder permissions reset to 777, tab-delimited file seems to be read okay and I get an "Upload Complete" message with no errors...but also no products.

I've tried resetting categories in the ADMIN>TOOLS>STORE MANAGER, and I've tried reading Easy Populate's readme.txt file, but frankly a lot of it is just Greek to me.

Am I supposed to do something after I get the "Upload Complete" message? Or is there some extra configuration I'm supposed to be doing to the .CSV file before I upload it?

Thanks.

Okay, some tweaking on the tab-delimited file out of OpenOffice Calc got Easy Populate to at least install a category, but I get this error message with each product listing: "Warning An SQL error has occured. Please check your input data for tabs within fields and delete these. If this error continues, please forward your error log to the Easy Populate maintainer".

I once faced the same problem after upload it appear a msg
with upload complete .But didn't list out what product i have been

when i check my txt file. I find the following two problem

1. My excel file miss " the first column content" such as v_products_model
2. it' i forget to put the"EOREOR"

By the way .each time i will convert it to "txt" file to upload
instead of CSV.
