Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Serious]

Dutchy,
Found the post you referenced and I see where you added 'v_products_sort_order' and i have seen the thread on how add/edit the column headings.

So what does this change do for you and how are you using it?

Did you have to add 'v_products_sort_order' to your structure in PhpAdmin or was it already there? I don't see it when I view mine.

i dont recall having to make db changes, i think it was all file changes. It allows me to specify the sort order of my products as several hundred products I sell need to be listed differently to the standard ZC alphabetical method. That was not a fun afternoon for me. tried it on four test sites before going live, of course - back up back up back up

And I suppose I should ask....
WHY use Open Office instead of Excel.

THREE main reasons:

1) OO allow text long than 256 character to be exported to CSV/TXT, excel will truncate to 256 even if longer
2) OO will correctly encapsulate all fields with your chosen delimiter ... most likely the "", excel does whatever it wants
3) OO will let you chose your character set on export, i.e. UTF-8, ISSO-8559-1, etc.

Hey there, not sure if I missed it, but I uploaded easy populate into my server folder, but its not showing in admin config or tools, or anywhere for that matter.

Carefully read the wiki:

from your brief description, I believe you installed it incorrectly. There have also been recent posts about this very subject, so please page back and look for these.

Ok, Love Easy populate - simple to use! Am currently testing on my local before going live.

However, I'm having a duplicating issue happening and can't seem to find the answer.

I have posted that question in the link below - so that people can find it easier in a search - or they can add in their duplication issues as well (keeping items of the same topic in one location).

I've read through some(a lot) of the items in this thread but can't seem to find an answer. Here's the thread:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all,

I thought this issue was mentioned and hopefully resolved in this forum but I couldn't find any related solution.

I'm currently using Zen Cart 1.3.9h and E.P. 1.2.5.4.
I have successfully installed E.P. and been using it for about a month without a problem until yesterday.

I learned that on zencart admin, under category, when I was trying to search an item that I added using E.P., it did not come out. It was my first time searching an item that's added using E.P. So I thought there was a problem or something so I checked the catalog and there was the item I was looking for! Also when I manually searched the item on admin page, there was the item as well.

What could be the problem?

I started manually adding items from yesterday and all manually added items came out just fine when I use search on admin page.

Please help! :)
