EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

hi there i have installed your EP4 as followed on my zen cart v1.5.

it shows in the admin menu - thats fine
it shows importing and exporting files listed - fine
but each time i export "Complete Products (with Metatags)"
and ad new products to the list in the same way as the rest of the products in the table
and import it (saved as a .csv) through open Office

it says it was imported fine (green highlight on top of admin)
but when i look in phpMyAdmin or the zen cart store, its not updated :/

any reasons for this?

kind regards and thank you for developing such a system :)

all the best for future updates/ upgrades

Please either attach or PM me your data file, or a portion there of.
You are clicking on Import after Uploading the file?

On the Admin/tools/ep4 you need to scroll down and find your .csv file and then click on the Import link.

After uploading a new .csv file for some new products I noticed that the metatag symbol on the applicable category pages are still black and not orange (no metatag data).

I've made sure that the v_metatags_products_name_status, v_metatags_title_status, v_metatags_model_status, v_metatags_title_tagline_status fields are all marked as "1".

What am I missing?

The very best way to ensure that your are creating your metatags correctly is to first complete one properly through the admin, and then export that product. This will help you see the correct mapping.

If I upload a bunch of random Skus that are not linked to anything via the easypopulate to save time..will it just kick those out as not identified? I have about 23k different skus and am trying to find an easy way to update without doing a lot of excel work. lets say that i am off by about 100-200 products that are not on my site or in zencart what will it do with those skus once i import?

"It depends," on whether you do something else that kicks an error - for example, not having a model number. If you have a model number and it matches an item, I assume it will update the sku; if it does not match a model number, it will probably add them as new items.

has there been any update to Easy Populate 4.0.19 - Beta 1-28-2012 for uploading attributes ? I have a ton of attributes to put on but can't see a way to do it, over 27.000 attributes is frightning !!!
