EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

I can see this is because they are appended to the bottom of the category list. As, in my case, each sub category has the same name but a description dependent on its parent, what would be useful is to sort the csv file so that the sub comes after its parent (which, no doubt is easier said than done!).

Hi Simon,
If you'd like, put that in as an "issues" request on my github page. Adding the category path may or may no be easy. Haven't looked at that in some time. I did ponder adding the full path, but it did entail more complexity.

In the mean time, you can see which is the correct category id to edit under Catalog > Categories/Product. The ID column matches what is export by EP4.

G'day Chadd,
I have a situation where I need to export all products from a 1.3.9h install (the donor) to a brand new 1.5 site (the recipient).
On the donor I have EP1.2.5.4 installed and working fine. I am planning to install EP4.0 on the recipient.
I understand that the two EP's are not compatible - am I right?
My plan is to put EP4.0 on the donor, do the export and then import all and sundry into the recipient.
Do I need to uninstall EP1.2.5.4 from the donor before I can install EP4.0 or can the 2 EP's exist happily side-by-side?
What do you think?
Thanks / Frank

Hi Frank,

EP4 will install completely independent of 1.2.5.4 so you can run both at the same time. However, you must be aware that the FILES that are exported by each version are NOT compatible ... at least not with some work involved. So you do not need to uninstall your 1.2.5.4 version, just don't mix your files up!

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your reply chadd, I'll get by with manual editing on this one.

btw - having looked through this thread a number of times, I've noticed some questions get asked, and answered, more than once. All credit to you for being so patient!

Is anyone using this to generate a feed file for Google?

When I do a Full Export the file is missing the product url

Thanks,

I'll check on the URL issue, but for google you'll want to use Numinix's Google Merchant Center.

I'm having a problem with Numinix Google Merchant Center. Its timing out, or hanging when I generate the Product Feed which is why I installed this module.
I used the old version of Easy Populate (Free and Paid) and it generated a file that had all the info I needed. This version also has that info except the product url.
Let me know what you find out about the Product URL.

Great job on this module.

Thanks,

This one has me stumped.

ZC 1.5 installed on Bluehost.
Installed Adons:
Image Thumbnails
Sales tax summary
Ez Populate 4.0

When I go to download any of the CSV files I end up on OpenDNS with the search term filled in with "temp/Full-EP2012Mar07-101120.csv"

I've reinstalled EZ Populate multiple times with no help.

Any suggestions?

Hi there
Is there a way to assign a product to a sub-category by inserting the categories' ID number, insted of writting the whole category?

No. Categories, and sub-categories are all Identified by name.
