Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Gerjan]

Does this version of Easy Populate work with the new 1.5 zencart? If not, that could explain some problems.

Have not used this version for some years now.

I'm no expert on Zen-Cart modules/programming/etc, but when I install a module I can READ if the module is compatible for 1.3.8, 1.3.9 or 1.5. That's not only for this mod, also many people just go ahead and install Image Handler and Super Orders...

It surprises me that so many people just go ahead and install the modules without reading the info and support threads (at least, thats what it looks like to me).

When a module says it's compatible for 1.3.9, why install it on ZC1.5?!?! Many threads and post indicate that many modules are worked on the make them compatible for ZC1.5

Again, I'm not an expert, but if I just read I can see that ZC1.5 has a more tightened system to register add-ons and that there are many security improvements. So many moules need to be adapted to that. Thats why all the developers need time to upgrade their add-ons which they do in their free-time since many of us want free add-ons!

So please READ and if you are waiting for 1.5 modules to be upgraded, please be PATIENT and give the developers time to make them work and test... I think they go crazy by reading al those posts about people who don't 1.3.9 modules get to work with ZC1.5...

Sorry, but I had to say this. No means to upset anyone... It's not just SPH since he's one of many ;) But as I said, this is going on with many modules.

As others say; Happy Zenning!!

No, it's not me. As I said, I haven't used this version of EP for several years. I was replying to those having problems with it on 1.5...suggesting it's not compatible.

I know how to read the forums and module info, thanks.

In your case; my apologies! I thought it meant it could explain some problems that you encountered

Does anybody have an example of a populated sample file that you that can be imported. my file is not populating my DB and i cant tell why.

Funny, as I just asked the same request at the Prestashop forum the other day as I want to get in to that cart in addition to zencart. Someone did give me a sample.

I'd return the favor for you, but have not used this version of EP for several years now. And if we're going to upgrade to the new 1.5 zencart, apparently only current option is the new EP4, which I use in conjunction with another EP, the one that allows addition of additional upload fields via the zencart admin. (I think that's the Easy Populate 1.3.9GP.e, apparently not compatible with 1.5)

So, has easy populate always overridden the status column and i'm just now noticing or am i uploading something incorrectly?

If you are still using EP 1.2.5.4 then my tutorial may help:

"Any fields left blank (NULL) will not always retain the current data in your store. Best to delete unneeded columns, and use original store data as updates template"

is that what you're speaking of? i only upload 2 columns, model and quantity, to keep our store synced with our accounting software (we do a lot of off-line phone and purchase orders too) which is run about twice a day. it's kind of obnoxious having to deactivate certain items every time. or do non-listed columns get affected anyway?

will EP 4 beta solve this problem? i guess i may as well test locally to find out....

I use EP4 in conjunction with another EP. EP4 looks like our best bet for upgrading to 1.5 cart. He is still working on the attributes function, though.

EP4 works flawlessly for me re the products function. And one thing I really like about it: you can download by category. Meaning that when you download your products, you do not have to download them all. Very nice touch.

Is the EP 1.2.5.4 in the works to be upgraded to 1.5? Just wondering, as I have not used this version for years.
