EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[DivaVocals]

As I recall from the communication, a separate work-around was determined; however, in parallel I had worked on making the existing software "compatible" with 1.5.3. I did no testing for operations sake. I only had brought the code up-to-date to not to supposedly create the same errors. I will post the code in the Ultimate SEO URI thread. I believe it is not a complete set of software, but only the changes to the original software. As I stated in one of those post threads, a version of the URI rewriter is in a test status which I would fully consider the attached code as being. Truly the issue is with USU and should be addressed in that thread, it just happens to be observed when using this software.

See post 733 for the files that may resolve this issue when using Ultimate SEO URIs version 2.212.

Truly the issue is NOT with USU. I have been using USU (2.212) under Zen Cart 1.5.3 (by following the instructions in the manual and in the support forum) without issue.

The issue's I have seen reported in this thread (and on the USU thread) appears to be caused install errors.. Namely replacing Zen Cart 1.5.3 files with files from USUS which are modified versions of files for PREVIOUS versions of Zen Cart. The manual for USU like most well written modules says to use / merge the modified core files matching the installed version of Zen Cart. The issues reported seem to crop up when that advice isn't followed..

The current stable release of USU was released BEFORE the Zen Cart 1.5.2 release. As such it does not include core files from Zen Cart 1.5.2+ pre-modified and ready to go for end users. The support thread DOES include some examples of modified core Zen Cart files from Zen Cart 1.5.2 RC2. The support thread also includes some additional information relating to the use of USU in Zen Cart 1.5.2 and 1.5.3.

THE ANSWER for people having difficulties with USU is to head over to the USU support thread.. Suggest these folks checkout the relevant posts - in this case #555, #706, and #717. The author is talented and FULLY supports his module..

OR

Folks can wait for the next version of USU (which is in beta testing now) to be released in a few weeks.. It will have all of the FULLY MODIFIED files Zen Cart v1.5.3 files so people who don't bother to merge (as suggested in the readme) can simply just drag and drop to their hearts content..
