Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Serious]

zc V1.39

Can someone take a look at my EP file and tell me whay some of the products aren't loading.

I can send a you a Zip file and the line numbers I'm having a problem with.

I've tried about dozen or so time sto get this to work and I'm not having any luck at all. I've loaded other new items before but can't for the life of me figure this out.

Anyone able to take a look?

The products that won't load start ar in lines 9995 - 10633.
Zip file attached.

EDIT
The file is too big to add as a attachment.

Anyone care to PM me an email address I can sent it too?

Weird.
The 638 products I'm trying to add are visible under the manufactures heading (Eaton) in the Mfg. Sidebox but not in the categoties/products.

There are a few products listed under "Axle & Drivetrain/Lockers & Carriers/Eaton", but they were loaded prior to the problem i'm having today.

They aren't in the admin/catalog/categories/products either!!

How is that possible?

Recently I and getting a "Cannot Display Page...server dropped connection....can happen when server is busy....please try later" return from my browser (Safari) when I do an upload with Easy populate 1.2.5.4. I'm running 1.39h of Zencart. The upload seems to be working. Here is what I'm doing. I download the Price/Qnty xls file via EP and update the qty values through a formula, save as a tab delimited txt file. I try to split it, I get only one resulting split file even though the file contains 3600+ records and the split value is still at the default of 300. I've set the permissions to the temp dir at 777. When I upload the single split file, I get the browser error. I'll download the Price/Qty file via EP and check it, sure enough the new qualities are there. This is just a pain to check all the time that the upload took. Any ideas? I am running on a Godaddy hosting account. EP was working great a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for any help!

Trying to remove all products by changing product staus to 9 (per the Wiki) and the porducts are staying put.

debugg log says:

}

line 1303 thru 1307:

// now we string the entire thing together in case there were carriage returns in the data
$newreaded = "";
foreach ($readed as $read){
$newreaded .= $read;
}

Anyone got a hint for me?

1. What version are you using ?
2. EP works the best if you upload max 300 products at once,split your file.
3. Did you enter any products into ZC before you used EP
4. Have you done a 'complete' download and edited your file so there is only 3-4 products in it, edit some changes and then upload via EP and see if that changes the products.
5. If you are uploading hundreds of products EP will not do a report at the end of the upload the screen will be just blank. If you do get a report, what are the results. Like I suggest reduce your file in size and then you would see results of the upload and it may give you some idea of whats going on

EP 1.2.5.4 works

Yesterday, I used EP1.2.5.4 to load 6500 products into an install at http://www.thepartymonster.co.uk .

I created my EP tab-delimited TXT file, then sent it via FTP to the temp folder.

I then used the "load from temp folder" feature in EP admin.

It loaded all 6500 products in about 90 seconds - no problem.

jvalich I have never used the split function via EP myself, I would suggest you split the file manually to say 10-20 products and see if that works. It may be php is timing out on the request to the server, and the connection is dropping. With this smaller file is would prove that it is a timing issue.

In MOST cases where data is not loading (or is producing errors) the fault is with the TAB DELIMITED TEXT file.

If your tab-delimited text file is clean, it will load... I do it many times a day on the sites we manage and I don't (generally) have any problems).
