Not exactly an exhaustive source about EP4; however, searching for UPS in this thread resulted in some of the useful related to that particular subject:

Excel 2007 works for me but when I download I save my files as filename.csv.txt (or save & rename with the txt extension) then start Excel and open the file as (delimited, tab/comma) NEXT(at his point if you have any leading zeros set that column to TEXT or excel will truncate them) NEXT/FINISH then save as a somefile.xlsx file do my mods then save as a somefile.csv file and upload/import.

That has always worked for me. This method doesn't seem to let Excel mess with the formating

Sorry guy's, I was way off on the document.
It was by schoolboy and about EP 1.2.5.4 but I think a lot of it applies to EP4.
Anyhow here's the link to the wiki.

Somehow this got in the wrong thread

Hello,

I looked this under few different search words and didn't see anything similar, so my apologies if it has been discussed.

ZC v1.5.1
EP v4.0.21

Main intention to install the module is that customer created a new store but most of the items are going to be the same. So having more than 800 items he asked if it was possible to do it through a feed or copied into the new store. I suggested EP BUT his items didn't have model numbers. Since EP works with model numbers I told him to use the spreadsheet to create all those model numbers and then we could update his active store and propagate his new one.

The problem is that on the first store EP duplicated all the items, so he had the old ones without model numbers and all the same items duplicated with model numbers.

You would say, well, then delete all the old ones and stay with new ones, but majority of old ones have attributes, also the data of those products orders relation to inventory will be deleted. Without talking about the pain of going 1 by 1 deleting because since they don't have model numbers there's no way to change that data or better put insert the '9' for deleting them.

What should I do to import to those items that don't have model numbers? Does this issue has solution?

Thanks for your reply...

The version of PHP on the server in question is 5.3.13
MySQL version is 5.1.66
When I got to Admin -> Tools and click on Easy Populate 4, I just get a blank page.

The file easypopulate_4.php contained in the admin directory contains this line at the top:
// $Id: easypopulate_4.php, v4.0.21 06-01-2012 chadderuski $

I did also try creating a new fresh install of ZenCart and tried installing EasyPopulate 4 from git hub a few days ago and got the same blank screen when I click on Easy Populate 4 on the Tools menu.

ZenCart 1.5.1 does work without any issues that I am aware of.

I have uploaded easy populate on my test site and getting the same problem when going to admin/tools/easy populate a blank page when trying to install the configurations.

Running PHP Version: 5.5.7
Database: MySQL 5.5.35
Any ideas
A few addon's but none are causing this.

Blank page... Error log... (Typically)

I have no issue with: PHP Version 5.5.0 and MySql 5.6.12

When you say trying to install the configurations, could you be a little clearer? Able to get to access Tools->Easy Populate 4, but once the page is displayed a selection is made and then a problem occurs? Is that correct?
