EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Also, I just took a look at one of my downloads from this program, the path I have for an image in the images folder is simply the name of the image. If I have a photo YYY.jpg in the images/XXX folder then all I had in the v_products_image column was XXX/YYY.jpg

So, I think part of your problem is having /images/ at the beginning of your image name.

This may be more evident if as is suggested by the code author that you add a product and other settings into ZenCart first, then download that information to use as a sort of template. Is very useful.

Ok, thanks for the explanation I will look at both this evening and see what happens. Thanks for the help and advice. I'll get back to you on here in the next day or so.

Thanks

Thanks for this great Mod. I am currently working with the price break to update some products. In Zen Cart when creating a discount there's this option "Discount Qty Applies to Mixed Attributes" which allows for Yes or No. Unfortunately, I do not see in the file where to indicate that I want to applied discount to mixed attributes. Can someone guide me on how to achieve this task? I have a feeling it might have something to do with this "products_mixed_discount_quantity" from the products table but I do not see it in the file.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I finally figured it out. I looked again at my file and once I changed the .gif to .GIF it worked. Thanks again for the help.

I don't know if you do or plan to have any image handler mods or what permissions you have set in your .htaccess file, but from personal experience it is suggested that the extension for your files should all be lowercase. As stated to me, that's the standard to which files are named. I know that I have also discovered that for example, my cell phone typically sets the extension as uppercase and I have to rename the file before uploading (or of course could do so after uploading, but it's much easier to correct on the front end than the back end.)

Glad you figured it out though!!!

Follow the logic in the export and then the import files for the type of file you are trying to work with (basic, detailed, etc...) You will need to add that (and other fields desired/needed) in the SQL statements for the applicable file type(s).

Actually, the default value is yes for "Discount Qty Applies to Mixed Attributes" is yes so simply uploading the default file (without modification) works. I wanted to make sure that the yes radio button is activated upon upload and it works. My issue is resolved without any code adjustment. Thanks!

I just integrated this into my Zen Cart and I'm only having one issue. My description is getting cut off after having set my configuration up to convert quotes. Here is the description that is getting cut off:

Convenient, self-adhesive Target Spots create instant##bulls eyes for all types of target practice! The##high-contrast, fluorescent red color lets you see a##sharper sight picture and bullet holes more clearly##for better scores and smaller groups. Try all sizes##for different distances and uses – rifle, shotgun,##handguns and even archery. All Target Spots##have a self-adhesive backing for easy use.

When I import this it is only getting as far as this: Convenient, self-adhesive Target Spots create instant##...
then it gets cut off. I can't figure out why it might be getting cut off, or what is causing it to be cut off. If someone could help out I would really appreciate it.

Also, is there a place in the code of the module I can change the code to look for certain tags and convert them if found?

I have multiple wholesalers and would eventually like to add all of them to my site. The problem is that some wholesalers may carry the same product but they may call it a a different model number. Is there an Easy Populate Header (ex. v_products_model) that I can use that would have 1 model set up for all wholesalers. Example 1 wholesaler has a Savage Model Number of 19220 and another has it listed as a straight 19220. Is it possible that I can upload both and it will add up available inventory of both wholesalers.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Is there a way to make this work with Cross Sell?

I'm using Cross Sell Plus Advanced Sell Combo

Been pondering this for a few days. Curious, what happens if you were to add more text before the first ##? I hadn't found anything that considered ## to be an escape sequence. If it still imports only to that point then probably would want to change the ## to something else either before import or in the process of importing. I seem to recall that recently some discussion was had about how/where to code for replacement of characters. Also, be sure to review the csv that is used to import and verify that the text is not cut off in there when saving your csv. If the first suggested test results in being cutoff then there is a variable associated with that field that limits the length of text, if it is not cutoff then there is something that considers ## as an end of the text.
