So i have Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 and Zencart 1.3.9.f installed.

All sql updates and files installed fine.

I'm getting a very strange error...

Every button and link i click from the admin->tools->Easy Populate menu just redirects me back to my admin login page. Whats that all about? Is that a default action when a file is missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi biggD

Did you get this sorted out? I have exactly the same symptoms, same EP version, but Zencart 1.3.9.h.

heatherm and biggD:

Do you have your admins set to SSL? I saw an earlier post of someone having this problem, and it was "fixed" by taking the admin off SSL.

Let us know if that is also your issue.

Unable to search products in Admin if they were added with Easy Populate.

If I ad new product with or without a new category by hand, then I can search in the Admin Categories/Products area and in the store.

If the new product is added with Easy Populate then a search in the Admin Categories/Products menu doesn't show anything for that item, but if you search in the store it does.

This has been an ongoing problem for about 7 months now. I totally deleted the entire category and sub categories that was giving me problems before and started adding it back in one category at a time. The very first addition via Easy Populate would not allow searching in the Admin area.

HELP! I absolutely MUST be able to search for products in the Admin area. Why is this happening?

Running ZenCart 1.39h
items added using a text file comma delimited
Only added about a dozen items.

NOTHING I add with Easy Populate will allow me to search ANY of the items in the Admin.................

Well.... I found the fix.

In Admin / Tools / Store Manager
Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID

Hello Zenners,

I can't get EP to install. When I go to my admin page I can see Easy Populate under tools, when I click on it nothing happens, blank page only, no install. Please help met out!

Zencart version 1.39, dutch & english language,I tried to install under both languages, same result nothing happens/installs. I can see all the files in the correct directories (myadmin) Any Ideas??

I have used EP 1.2.5.4 for years and it works great . But today when I clicked Create Complete tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir (Attributes Not Included) The page just went blank. There was no file in temp dir to download. But then I clicked Create Model/Price/Qty tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir . And it worked. I guess my file was too big. It is about 10 MB. I am wondering if there is any way to solve the problem. Any suggestions will be welcome.

Sunrise,

That is a pretty big file! The script is probably timing out without any warning and just being killed by the server.
If so, you can try to increase your execution time in your php.ini file (if you have access):

Look for:

max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

and increase that and see if that helps.

I managed to upload a bunch of prices in the v_specials_price field that I didn't actually want to keep there. I've successfully altered that column to a zero value and re-uploaded the file, but there does not appear to be a way for EasyPopulate to upload a null field and erase a value already in the database to be replaced with no entry. I don't want ANY values in this field. What do I enter into this field to overwrite what is in the database with a blank entry?

Help please. My cart has all these red lines through it, and it's a hassle. I have 2,000 products so removing the "specials" price manually from each one isn't happening.

Thanks!
