How do you add non-product table values - example Featured?:
v_featured_date_available
v_featured_expires_date
v_featured_date_added
v_featured_date_modified

Thank you.

This would require specific programming and I'd have to look to see where the "featured" information is held. I can do this, but it will have to wait until attributes passes muster.

Yes, but it is VERY basic. Give me a few more days to round out the new attribute import features.

Hi Chad, this is my first time posting in zencart community. I have installed Easy Populate 4.0.19 - Beta 1-28-2012 safely and add some product in my category. This is my new zencart store and i have tried upload my 500 product into the database using 4.0 version.

The problem i'm having is data upload all but it appear in my admin only less than half. i check in my phpmyadmin, it only upload half.

Updated records: 461
New Imported records: 21
Errors Detected: 0
Warnings Detected: 14
Memory Usage: 3720348
Memory Peak: 3925776
Execution Time: 2.43897008896 seconds.

The updated records seems did not appear in my cart but updated. This is my second attempt try to upload full data into the database and failed.

Really need your advise why it can't fully upload although system said updated.



Thanks in advance.
Ariff

Chad... changing the delimiter from COMMA to TAB is just a case of:

// CSV VARIABLES - need to make this configurable in the ADMIN
// $csv_delimiter = "\t"; // "\t" = tab AND "," = COMMA
$csv_delimiter = ","; // "\t" = tab AND "," = COMMA
$csv_enclosure   = '"'; // chadd - i think you should always us the '"' for best compatibility

Is that all that needs to be done?

Chad,

New to ZenCart, advised to get EP4 "The Chad Version", have read this complete thread. Downloaded EP4 from github, and have installed per instructions. All have gone very well, until we went to Tools->Easy Populate 4.

The stated version and date on this is: "Easy Populate 4.0.19 - Beta 1-28-2012".

Reading the thread shows a flurry of activity has happened since then.

Is the downloaded version actually up-to-date with your releases and just not marked correctly, or is there a better/newer version for download?

atal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /home/...easypopulate_4.php on line 4

what can i do to solve this problem.Thank you very much

Hello,

I have a clean install of Zencart 1.5 I downloaded chad's EP 4.0
I put all my admin folders in and the zen 1.5 extra files in. I ran the sql to create the table.

To test the file I put a fake product in. And exported full product categories list.

The csv came through with the headers, but no product?

So I put a few products into the file, and imported in. I did not get the congrats products added, lines ready. Anything.

Did I miss a step in the installation?

Thank you.

I've followed the installation directions exactly for ZenCart 1.5, but Easy Populate 4 is still not showing up in my tools. I've tried reinstalling it twice now with no luck. Where should I start with troubleshooting this?

[StevenMagnet]

I ended up getting the installation working, but I'm still getting the warning that my uploads folder is missing even after I change the directory.
