Sorry for multiple posts, I keep on getting kicked out.

I can import without any errors, only if the cell is formatted as shown in my previous post (#971).

But it really looks ugly, when you are adding size attributes to other products through admin, and you are choosing among 100s of similar looking sizes.

ps. I also tried using OO to export the .csv using Unicode (UTF-8) character set. I get the same errors.

Kevin,

I think the problem you are having is that you are not using BASIC single and double quotes, but "smart" quotes.

have you tried setting EP to convert smart quotes to standard quotes?

Also, Excel and be a REAL B**CH about quotes, so you need to look through your preferences to ensure it's NOT using smart quotes.

Also, when you come across these type of issues, it make ALL the difference in the world when you zip and attached the problem file.

Also, look at how zencart interpreted your character codes in the quote .... these are standard characters... also be sure you have in your EP4 settings to conver chr(92) to standard single quote....

Chad - Thanks for the reply.

How do you distinguish between BASIC single and double quotes and "smart" quotes?

As I mentioned when I look at the .csv in Notepad++, it looks like ' and "" basic to me.

I will try your suggestions this evening and will inform you. Thank you.

Hey Kevin,
I believe I know what is going on here. Will see if I can fix it without breaking the attribute importing code

I'll let you know when I believe I have it working...

Kevin,

Attached is a replacement easypopulate_4_attrib.php file. Give this a try.

Note that you should set Configuration -> Easy Populate 4 :: Convert Curly Quotes to 1 - Replace with Basic Characters

I tested your file and it imported correctly. I have not tested the advanced attribute import yet, but this should get you on track.

Kevin,

The detailed attribute import should be fine since it does not modify the options_name or options_values_name

That file MAY not work for you. I've been making a lot of changes to EP of late and you may have to wait for me to update github...
