EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[chadderuski]

I am using https://github.com/chaddro/EasyPopulate-4.0 on Zen Cart 1.5.1 and in in Config I have "Upload File Date Format" = d-m-y but for the special start and end date I have to use YYYY-MM-DD because if I use d-m-y the specials start and end in the 60's :) No big deal but thought I'd mention it encase anyone else is having issues.

Error message ERROR: Import file does not exist:/var/www/html/temp/R

I am getting the above error message when I try to import a CSV file that I have uploade to Zencart.

When I look the CSV file that I am trying to import is in the var/www/html/temp folder.

I am a newbie to EZ populate - I have been using it for about a week to download categories clean up the data and then reload it back up to my zencart site and this has been working very well.

Yester day I created a new CSV file with 1300 items in it by downloading a CSV file from the site, opening it with Microsoft Xcel, populating it with the new products and categories and saving in xlsx format. I have then reopened the file with LibreOffice and saved it as a CSV file.

I have split the file up into several smaller files on my local PC and then tried uploading files and importing files with a few number of models and sometimes this works and sometimes I just get the error message above.

Can anyone help?

Please ask me what futher details you need to provide me with meaningful support.

After uploading the files, When I click on Tools - Easy Populate 4 I am taking to a blank screen.

I have tried downloading the latest version from GitHub and uploading the files again to make sure files are complete and do not have errors.

I am using ZenCart 1.51

When I try to access the Easy Populate 4 option, I get the following log entries:

Thank you in advance.

What version of PHP are you using? You can find this by logging into your admin and go to Tools -> Server Version/Info.

I think you are on an old version of php. You should have 5.3 or newer...

Can you verify which version of EasyPopulate you are using? When you go to Tools -> EasyPopulate 4, it should have

Easy Populate 4.0.22 - Beta 6-10-2012

at the top, which is my latest version.

Thanks for your reply...

The version of PHP on the server in question is 5.3.13
MySQL version is 5.1.66
When I got to Admin -> Tools and click on Easy Populate 4, I just get a blank page.

The file easypopulate_4.php contained in the admin directory contains this line at the top:
// $Id: easypopulate_4.php, v4.0.21 06-01-2012 chadderuski $

I did also try creating a new fresh install of ZenCart and tried installing EasyPopulate 4 from git hub a few days ago and got the same blank screen when I click on Easy Populate 4 on the Tools menu.

ZenCart 1.5.1 does work without any issues that I am aware of.

Can you verify which version of EasyPopulate you are using? When you go to Tools -> EasyPopulate 4, it should have

Easy Populate 4.0.22 - Beta 6-10-2012

If there is a newer version than what is on GitHub, please let me know so I can download that to try.

I'm trying to put together a CVS file to upload to Nextag and one of the things I need is the url for all of my products....that's over 5k urls

Is there a way to have all of my product page URL's with a full EP Download?

Hi Serious,

No, this is not built into EP4 at this time. I'll have to see if it can be added. I have a couple of requests for this now.

In the mean time you should be able to use Numinix's google merchant feeder and pull the url's from the xml data.

Hi chadderuski

Just wondering if it is possible to add products with a download link . Or should I say a directory and file name and type . Mostly I work with PDF downloads . Which header names of columns would I be looking for . Or is it restricted to those column names in the export file.

Thanks Paul
