EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[chadderuski]

Hello,

So I have installed EZ4 and uploaded my file in .csv to my database and it showed as supported on my upload page of my admin. I then imported the file to my zen cart admin and it said import was successful in green at top of screen however I get red error messages that say: No model field in record. This line was not imported what does this mean and how do I fix it. Also would this make it so no products show-up if some products have this.

Also bnesupplies I have that exact same problem but on my option value page still trying to figure out how to fix it. If some one knows that would be great If I find out I will let you know ok BNE please let me know if you do!!

Thank you all for your help and responses.

Any help here please!!

This means you either have a blank line in your data (check your spreadsheet) or you left out an entry for v_products_model
...

EP4 REQUIRES you have an entry for v_products_model for every product.

Hey Serious,

These tags are basic HTML markup tags. Very useful for formatting your descriptions.

<br></br> = line break
<b></b> = bold
<p></p> = paragraph

You shouldn't have to worry about these. If your editor is set to HTML instead of text, you'll get a lot of these in your export file.

I knew that they were HTML, but I was hoping to cut and paste some of the descriptions into the various MetaTag fields on the .csv spreadsheets.

I just uploaded a test spreadsheet (with HTML Tags) to the local copy of my site and the HTML tags are showing up in the Metatag Description. I'm not an SEO guru...but I can't imagine that being a good thing.

I've tried down loading the same spreadsheet via Admin/tools/Easy Populate 4 and each time the result is the same, some descriptions have the tags, some don't.

I will check the data for spaces but what does this other part mean please: or you left out an entry for v_products_model
...

EP4 REQUIRES you have an entry for v_products_model for every product.

Thank you for your answers

Oh the SKU each product has a SKU but I will double check

I am new to EP and am trying to upload a few test items before doing all my things. I am getting an error message "No Model Field in Record. The line was not imported". What have I done wrong. I have a column for v_products_model. If anyone needs to see the file let me know. I can possibly attach it.

Thanks
Mark

Hello,
I'm been struggling, trying to get EasyPopulate to work with my ZenCart.
I am at the point where I have downloaded the "Complete Products'" - opened in OpenOffice Calc - replaced existing records with my own, in the same format.
Tried importing - it says import complete, but then at the bottom I get the error "No model field in record. This line was not imported" followed by random text (parts of fields?) repeated hundreds of times.
Can someone help me get this working?
Thanks!!
Amber

In the first column, headed "v_products_model" (without the quotes), what values do you have in that column?

Did you add some products in your zencart and export that as a model?

I'm still struggling with the HTML tags in downloaded .CSV files.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get just the text and not the tags in the descriptions?

Do a replace for each offending tag. Don't forget to include spaces where that will be an issue. You'll then have a clean version to use for your tags.

Depending on the complexity of the tags, this may not be easy. But the tags are actually in your description; they are not just random code. It is a downside of using tags.

The spreadsheet I am using for the site that is still under development is without tags; then I add them as needed for the description upload. I have clean text to use for metatags.

Hi,
Yes, I have a few products already in my store, so exported a list, then replaced those items with my items.

The values in v_products_model are my model numbers.
An example (the first three items):
DVD-MATR
AAG70100G05
AAG7026005


Is there a problem with this?

Thanks,
Amber
