EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[seattleannie]

I installed EasyPopulate 4.0 Beta to Zen Cart 1.5.0. When I try to download a file I exported, a "Authentication Required" box comes up. I assume this has something to do with permissions of the temp folder I created (which, as suggested in the readme, I renamed "merges")? Or, is that supposed to happen? If so, what user name and password should I use? The cPanel ones? or, the site admin ones?

Here is what the module shows on the Configuration Settings on the right:

Configuration Settings
Upload Directory: merges/
Verbose Feedback: TRUE
Split Records: 2000
Execution Time: 60
Convert Curly Quotes: No Change
Convert Char 0x92: Basic
Enable Products Metatags: 1
Enable Products Music: 0

Hi Annie,

Well, are you sure you have my version? I don't think I ever said to rename the temp folder to merges...

What is the title of the page when you go to Tools -> Easy Populate 4? My version is only on github.com at this time:

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I thought the readme recommended renaming the temp folder. Not to "merges" specifically - that was *my* idea. Anyway, yes. I am, using your version, Chadderuski. But would naming the folder cause this authorization verification issue?

It is in your install.txt file:

Now go to Configuration -> Easy Populate 4 and edit the Uploads Directory. The default directory is "temp/"
This assumes you have a directory "temp" in the root of your website. I highly recommend that you
move your temp directory into your admin, or change the name to something that is obscure for security reasons.

Just wondering....

Zen cart v1.5.1
Easy Populate 4.0.22 - Beta 6-10-2012

I understand the Model Number, but is there a way to add the "SKU" so that appears not only on the product listing, but within EP and the invoice? I realize there will be template edits... any point in the right direction Gurus?

Thanks for your help,
Chad

Hey ChadAustin,

Not sure what you mean by sku. Zencart has a products_id (internal key) and products_model ... most people would consider that the SKU... perhaps you mean UPC?

Hi Anne,

Sorry I missed your reply yesterday... NO, changing the name of the temp folder would not cause this. You did set the temp name under Configuration -> Easy Populate 4 .... there is a testing for the temp folder path.

Also, depending on your server's setting/hosting, you MAY need to change permissions to 777 ... most servers are okay with 644, but this all depends on how php is running...

Why isn't this in the plugins area??
