EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[kobra]

Kevin205,

1- To revert back, can I just re-install the database files, or do I have to re-install the entire site?

The database is not truly "files"
Just use phpmyadmin and select the database and drop all tables
Then import your database backup sql

2- Also I am not getting "Easy Populate" under "Configuration", It is under the "Tools". How can get that to show?

If you are not seeing ep under config and tools - you have not installed it correctly

BTW: How did you upload the csv if not through the admin??

Sorry tables.

BTW: How did you upload the csv if not through the admin??

As I mentioned, I do have and see "/Admin/Tools/Easy Populate" , but do not see "/Admin/Configure/Easy Populate" . I uploaded through "tools/Easy Populate".

Please ignore my prior 2 posts as I messed up.

I had installed "easy_populate_csv_for_zencart_v1.5.x_v1.2.5.7c" instead of "EasyPopulate-4.0-master" plugin.

I am really sorry for that!

Hi All, I have largely succeeded with one minor problem. Some of my product descriptions have been cut short (I think by Excel, not by EP). So, my question is, can I use an EP full product import to update these fields, or does it only insert new entries?

Hey Gurus,

I am using:
EP 4.0.22 - Beta 6-10-2012
ZC 1.5.1
Open Office

1. After install, EP4 shows under dropdown "configuration", but not within tools... I have to manually type in the full URL to get to easypopulate_4.php

2. Once I downloaded the "Complete Products" CSV file, I opened it, added in my test products and categories and such, then uploaded again ... I used FTP to bring it in, refreshed my cache, and received "File Import Completed!" But all I have are categories, but no products.

I attached a screen shot that shows both points, as well as my CSV file.

Thanks to all you... impressive support within this thread.
Chad

The most likely scenario is that you did not install EP 4 properly.

For ZC1.5.x, you need to make sure that you FIRST load the " admin " elements, into your "admin" folder (which is named differently).

SECONDLY, you need to load the elements in the folder called: zencart 1.5 extra files You DO NOT just load this folder... ! Open it, and see what directory PATH is involved.

Then, read the README file for activation instructions.

EP will not function properly simply by appending easypopulate_4.php to your admin URL

Yes, you can re-run the import and it will update the entries. If you have more than 256 characters in your description, Excel will cut this off. Use Open Office to retrain your long descriptions.

I don't know if any of the newer versions of Excel ever fixed this.

Thanks Chad,

I will do that, I am still having trouble with open office though, it's better now I've update Java but still crashes a lot - must have some issue with my setup. Hopefully is will stay open long enough for another product import. Thanks again for all your help in this thread... and of course for the plugin.

When importing categories, is there an option to specify a specific sort order?
