EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[denniszc]

Hi
Is there a thread that explains what each field is called and what each field means and what info you put into the field? I have a new install of ZC 1.5.0 and I have installed EP 4.0. Should I use a different version of EP since 4.0 is beta?

TIA for any help
John

hey chadd, yes that is exactly how i did it, is it possible to sort the order using the .csv file?

[denniszc]

Hi Dennis,

Could you tell me exactly how you are editing the sort order? Are you doing this in the admin: Catalog > Categories?

If that's so, it's possible that I'm not pulling the sort order! So I'll have to look at that code again...

wrong quote, how do you edit a post?

Dennis,

Strange. I used your data, installed the simplified chinese language pack and was able to import your supplied file, modify sort order in the admin, and re-import the file and NOT get any duplicates.

I did notice in your CSV that your have spaces between your category names, which you should not.

Try this and tell me if it makes a difference:

Open: includes/functions/extra_functions/easypopulate_4_functions.php

Scroll down to the function ep_4_curly_quotes($curly_text) function...

change:

return $clean_text;

to:

return trim($clean_text);

Let me know how that works for you. The spaces in UTF8 for chinese may be causing your problem.

ok thanks sir, I did export it and I don't know what v_products_type means. What do I put in that column?

v_products_type will be 1 for most people unless you are doing music related stuff or have created your own products type.

did you modify for the sub categories as well? modifying th main category will work, but modifying the sub category is what causes the problem.. okay i'll try it out

[denniszc]

chad, just been going throught the readme and just wondered, it mentions about being able to create atributes and assisgn them to products, but does it still have the abilty to assign existing attributes to products?

thanks

Phil, I am sure you have look at this. If you haven't go a head and export the following and look at the .csv content. I am sure it clears a lot for you.

Attribute Export/Import Options
Basic Products Attributes (basic single-line)
Detailed Products Attributes (detailed multi-line)

You can view the existing, and apply new ones as well.

Hello

I'm using zencart 1.5.1 and Easy Pop 4.
Firstly thanks to this great product.
I have started to import Attributes for a product.
This went ok except the drop down box has "TEXT" displayed when first displayed.
I cannot see where this is coming from;

Any ideas how to remove or change to "Please select from list"

Thanks in anticipation

Use the developers tool kit in the admin and search for "Please Choose"
