EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Now I am really showing my AGE!! Sorry - that was another client I was thinking about - not this one.

The only changes made on this site was in includes/modules/pages/page/header_php.php - as found in this post http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...=1#post1256039

Okay, so to be sure the situation is/was understood, this site has never had EP4 fully functional? (Ie, wasn't a situation where it worked for a while then suddenly stopped working?

It worked when I installed it on 8/14- it generated an ep file as it should have. A few days later, the client went to use it, and got the error and emailed me.

Thanks for your PM - I will check into that and get back with you.

Hi Stellarweb,

I've been reading through what you guys have been doing to try and solve your problem. I've of the mind that we should take a phpMyAdmin full sql backup and try to restore that into another site's testing database. This should tell us if we have:
1. code related issue
2. database related issue
3. server related issue.

not everything would be perfect for this test since you might have other mods installed, but it may help to diagnose your issue.

Did you attempt to install zencart in a new sub-directory, install only EP4 and test?

Happy dance! The site has Ultimate SEO URL's installed and one of the files includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php is what was causing the problem. Unfortunately, since this mod has not been updated yet for 1.5.3, I have to use that file for the USU to work. So I set up an admin area in a separate folder that ties into the current database and EP works fine! Not the greatest solution, I am sure, but the best I know of for now until USU gets updated.

BTW, at this time Ultimate SEO URL's is not considered compatible with ZC 1.5.3 or at least hasn't been updated to be compatible. The latest author has a BETA version in testing, but the ZC site version does not yet include the revisions that were made to integrate with the latest database handling and other changes to the "common" core files. (Discovered this last part by performing a merge with the latest ZC 1.5.3 files to see what was different/needed.) Haven't looked as to why these replaced files caused the result(s) that we saw, but certainly did not support proper operation of ZC 1.5.3 to use the files of an older version of ZC (Files from ZC 1.5.1 and below that manage/interact with the database require updating to work under ZC1.5.3)

When I export Model/Price/Qty (PriceQTY-EP) through EP4; it pulls 14 duplicates records with the same "v_products_model". When I check table zen_products, there are only 14 unique of those products_model!

What could cause this?

Without reviewing the code for tht specific query, if the product(s) are linked then this is the likely cause. That would not be identifiable from looking at the product(s) table.

I got the same error discussed here earlier : 'Strange but there is no default language to work... That may not happen, just in case...
Warning An SQL error has occured. Please check your input data for tabs within fields and delete these. If this error continues, please forward your error log to the Easy Populate maintainer'

Yes, I am use Ultimate SEO URL's. stellarweb's walk around in the post #1620 is to set up an admin area in a separate folder that ties into the current database. Is there any better way to resolve this issue now? Thank you.

I can't seem to find the correspondence associated with that issue that was had some other way (pm, email, another thread, etc...), but if not mistaken the issue was identified to be related to I think a file with the name general in it in the admin files. That it was not updated to 1.5.3 version or that it was modified in a way not to be fully compatible. I wish I could find the associated message.

So I set up an admin area in a separate folder that ties into the current database and EP works fine! Not the greatest solution, I am sure, but the best I know of for now until USU gets updated.

I have the exact same problem. Please help as I have no idea how to do what you described.

Tried removing and reinstalling easy populate with no luck. I am using ZC 1.53
