Yes I have made the changes to my database I changed the name and category fields to 120 characters

Nope, that one is even worse

You have to make sure that when your FIRST export your CSV from your spreadsheet in Open Office, that you check the "Edit Filter Settings" and make sure you have Field Delimiter the comma , and Text Delimiter the double-quote "

Here is the first file corrected:

It worked thank you!!!!!

Chadd,

I have been using your mod and it rocks!! Thank you tons!! You are saving me a huge amount of time. I have been able to import both products and attributes. However, I am having one problem that I can't figure out. Is there a way to import attributes with prices for them? And having them marked as default or display only? I have exported the Detailed Products Attributes (detailed multi-line) and I can see these fields, but when I import back into my store nothing happens. I have thousands of products that have attributes priced and copying/pasting is about to kill me. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sappster

Hey Sappster... The Detailed Products Attributes is for diagnostic export only. There is no import for that yet.

I'm actually working on attributes again >now< as we speak. I needed to do some rewriting to support multiple languages, and get my export file to also work as an import file (like the other export files). I cannot give you a time-to-completion yet. It's been a real challenge. But once I can get the basic import/export working correctly I'll add in the other attribute fields (or some workable solution).

I am trying to install the EP 4.0 on my ZenCArt 1.5 but for some reason it's not working.
I downloaded a template and my page is KDMproject.com
I used filezilla to upload the content of admin to my remamed admind folder and I also uploaded the zencart 1.5 extra files to my root directory.

You have to maintain the file structure of the additional files for zen 1.5 ... just like you did for the "admin" directory. These don't go in the ROOT, but YOUR admin directory.

The additional file are different for 1.38/1/39 and 1.5 so be sure you correctly upload the right files.

Thank you for the quick response.
Original files
Admin
Examples
zencart 1.3 extra files
zencart 1.5 extra files
.gitignore
changelog.txt
INSTALL.txt
license.txt
README.txt
• from the instructions I understood that I have to rename the "Admin" to match the name of my "Modified Admin" then upload using filezilla the renamed "Admin" folder to my renamed folder on my site including the "zencart 1.5 extra files".
but when I did that I a new "renamed Admin" folder appeared under my "Admin".
From my other installs it has never creadted a new "Admin" under the original "Admin"

You are over complicating this a bit. The Admin in "zencart 1.5 extra files" is at the same level as your stores Admin. You have to maintain the same directory structure from http://yourstore.com/admin ... So you first upload all the Admin files in the mod, then - depending on the version of zencart - add the files needed for your version (1.3/1.5).

Hope that clears things up.
