Good work figuring it out. That seemed most likely, but easiest to identify by following the suggested reviews.

Hi... I have repeatedly tried to install the module, Easy Populate 4.0. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I am using Zen Cart 1.5.3


The instructions say to:
"1. Change the name of the "admin" directory to match your Zencart installation.
2. Upload all files in the "admin" directory to your site (I didn't know if "site" meant to my admin folder on the server OR site meaning my store files. (i.e. public_html/mystore/myadmin) maintaining directory structure.
No core files are changed" AND

"If you are using zencart 1.5, you need to also upload the additional
files in the "zencart 1.5 extra files folder". (Again, I am using ZenCart 1.5.3)

"Login and you will see Easy Populate at the bottom of the tools menu..."

So I have done all this: I have changed the admin file in Easy Populate to match my admin folder.
1. I have uploaded all the files inside the admin folder to "myadmin" on my server. I also uploaded the includes folder within the admin folder over to myadmin.

2. I also uploaded the file within the "zencart 1.5 extra files" folder' - which was another admin folder. I opened that admin folder and uploaded the only file there....another includes folder.

Can someone please look at what I've done and help me to know what is wrong or tell me what I've done wrong.

Thanks
Brenda

Generally speaking, what seems to be written above seems right. So, the next thing is to try to identify what is going on with a little more detail.

In the folder "myadmin" which is you're renamed admin folder off of the store's location, do you now have five files all beginning with easypopulate_4 and ending with .php ordo you have your "myadmin" folder there as well?

When addressing the extra 1.5 files (yes this plugin has been updated to work with 1.5.3) the includes folder was in fact placed into the "myadmin" folder again that is off of the store?

Hi.... I uploaded all those 5 files to the "mystore" folder, along with the includes folder (in order). I did not upload the whole admin folder they were in, just the files themselves.

But I had already uploaded everything to the "myadmin" folder on my server the last time I tried installing EP, and was not successful. So I tried uploading everything to the "mystore" folder. At any rate, both times nothing happened. Easy Populate does not appear at the bottom of my admin>tools menu.

And it won't until the "special" file has been placed in the appropriate location. That is the other folder that has the one "includes" folder. That includes folder is copied to the "myadmin" folder. Then when the admin panelis next loaded the EP4 option will appear in the tools section.

so are you saying that I should upload the five files (easypopulate_4 and ending with .php) to the "myadmin" folder on my server and the extra files 1.5 folder contents to the "mystore" folder on my server.

Actually, go one folder deeper in the extra files 1.5 folder and then move those contents to "myadmin"

[msbfrnj]

Yes... one file deeper is the includes folder..... add the includes folder to myadmin..... Hopefully this works..... raying

I am about to upload the five easy populate files to the mystore folder and the includes folder to the myadmin directory..... Thanks....

Ummm, that's not what was said/described. The five files and associated includes folder goes into the myadmin folder not the mystore folder...
