Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Dashizna]

is there a uninstall sql or can someone make me one to uninstall all the past versions of easy populate?

The "Download Model/Attributes .csv file " and using it to upload the new product attributes work wonderfully. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support the "attribute plus weight," like it does the plus price. Is there something I am missing? I have searched the forums but find no one else needing this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

I am going to put this out there for conversation. From my view, Easy populate for ZC is no longer user friendly and strictly relevant to coders. I built a few websites using ZC 2 years ago and it was great, but right now I am searching for something else. If you are not a DB guy/girl and do not have a way to bulk upload/download product information, it is worthless.

I can tell you that from looking at Opencart and Prestashop, their equalivents of Easypopulate look much more user UN-friendly, harder to use. Just one look at their spreadsheets and the headings was enough. This is probably the main reason I haven't taken either of these other carts to a live domain.

That and that Zencart now appears to have a much better selection of free templates...and great plugins that in many cases surpass, IMO, those built-in in other carts.

What version of ZC are you using and have you looked at Easy Populate 4 for 1.5.0/1.5.1? I also understand that an earlier version of EP we've successfully used in the past is now 1.5.0 ready.

I don't know that you can download a single product with any EasyPopulate version. However, with EasyPopulate 4 you can download a single category.

But if all you want is a single product, why not just edit it in the admin?

Am running into a problem with EP 1.2.5.4 (zc - 1.5)

I've got a database which manages our products, and we've created a dozen or so attribute names, each attribute having anywhere from 2 or 3, up to 20 values.

The database export handles this to a .mer which is converted to a CVS (.txt), for upload & maintenance.

Normally, we open EP, and grab the models/attributes template, which we then can correlate correct field relationships TO, in our database.


We ran into a problem this week, when we added 6 more attribute names and about 15 more values for them, then needed to get the new template, for cross-relating....

When I click the Models/Attributes button (to get a sample), the site runs.....and runs..............and runs.. Eventually it either "glitches" or does something else--but in fact, it reloads the FRONT SIDE page to the site...

I've attempted this on numerous browsers, platforms, have set the retry/timeout settings on browsers out to 5-10 minutes... All to no avaiil.

The window shows the "processing" icon (spinning gear) for right about 3 minutes, then reloads our main front page...
I have tried numerous other ideas - - have monitored the /temp folder to see if iit produces anything, but nothing.....

Any thoughts?


On a parallel note:I would love to move to EP4, but the file format is entirely different (a many-to-many relationship, vs a 1-to-many relationship, where each product has a single entry with all attributes ID'd by # and by price fields)... Is there a way in EP4 to get the same template downloadd, which shows field names?? OR, can EP4 be set up to use the same format as EP 1.2.5.x (ie one record/product per row, with all attributes in that record)?

Does anyone know how I can add the size to a product (clothing business) and then add it to the export file of Easy Populate ?

My distributors will give me periodic .csv files to upload for stock updating and I need to give them in the exported file the : model or product name, size (s,m,l,xl), price and quantity. When they give me back the .csv, products that are 0 qty should be made inactive.

I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.
