EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Not sure if somewhere in the process of providing the data for posting or if at all present, but there are no double quotes used. Not saying it is a must, but files do get successfully imported when they are there. I would suggest trying the following.m
Keep the first row and the second row. Place double quotes " around each word and double quotes without a space between empty commas with a final "" at the end of each line. Save that file (two lines) and try to upload it and report results. Also can compare the file to be uploaded to the file that was downloaded to see what differences exist in general fomatting.

Sorry for the trouble. Issue fixed!
They use excel to export the .CSV files, and saved as type MAC instead of MS-DOS. Even though they look the same in Notepad++, it wasn't importing.

Furthermore files export with "", but it can be imported without the "".


Thank you.

No problem, glad the issue has been resolved. Biggest issue I've seen with using Excel and EP4 has been the date format needs to be properly situated so that ZC accepts the input. OO seems to address it without issue. :)

Love this plugin and have used it for many years! I have it installed and working on my newly upgraded version 1.5.3. Thank you! I've downloaded my complete products file of almost 23,000 items - Complete Products (with Metatags). In the past I have used this file to modify and send to google, bing, etc. using the the Froogle download option. Of course they ask for the item URL. Since the v_products_url_1 column is not populated it will not work. Is there a way to download URLs for each product in the file? I've seen the Google product feeder but want to sort and submit different items to each search engine.

Keith z,
If not mistaken, the version 4.0.27+ discussed at this post: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...74#post1263574
Offers the capability to export the uri of the product. By default (after installation of EP4) this option is actually turned off. The product_uri_1 field you are seeing is the uri field at the bottom of a product entry form that would be displayed near the product when the product page is shown. It is not the uri that the browser displays say from the categories section to get to the product. Further the number 1 at the end identifies which language version of the field is being displayed. The product_uri field is available in multiple languages depending on what is installed to the cart.

So, to export the uri that is found in the browser when navigating to a product, would need to go to the admin's configuration for EP4 and turn the switch on ('Export URI with Prod and or Cat') that relates to displaying the product's uri. :) This option should be the last in the list of configuration options for EP4.

Thank you mc12345678. I am having trouble finding that switch. Here are the choices I have from my configuration screen. The last one allows me to enter User Defined Products Table Fields (comma delimited, no spaces). It is currently blank. Should I enter the header row columns here?

Nope.

Goto tools->Easy Populate v4
Top right corner select uninstall (this will lead to the default settings of the menu just posted above),
Then select install from the center of the screen. Goto the configuration menu for EP4 and as necessary re-enter the values shown above.
The last option is as described.

You do see that while in the tools->ep4 menu option that the version is 4.0.27 (or higher) correct?
Alternatively, it is possible to run a single sql statement for that one option, but the above process is preferred.
