also further to this

I have just noticed that when doing an attribute export, changing the price (v_options_values_price) and importing again
it does not change the price of the options, even tho it says it completes and shows the new price in IMPORT RESULTS of EP4

Are you sure that you font have two entries for the same model # and that the first one was changed, but the second was not and therefore overwrote the original?

[HugoStiglitz]

yeah pretty sure
I also noticed it does not seem to work adding new items into the CSV, the don't show up in options name or value manager, or in the attribute controller

a pic of my import file is attached

What is the filename?

Better way to ask is how is the filename different from when it was downloaded?

[HugoStiglitz]

the export file is Attrib-Detailed-EP2015Mar18-100702.csv
I then modified this file and resaved it as WebsiteImportOptions.csv, uploaded and imported

Therein lies the. Rub...

There are prefixes to some filenames that must remain intact when renaming the file for EP4 to know how to properly process the file. This is one of those filetypes. Rename the file so that it begins with at least: Attrib-Detailed-EP and try again...

Although the provided instructions do not go in great detail, this is one of those things that is discussed.

MC thanks a lot,

Hello, I have a question regarding updating quantities.

If I have 10,000 products in my catalog, it would be painstaking to search for every single item and update the quantity one-by-one. I exported a Model/Price/Quantity and tried to update the easiest way possible. I entered, at the bottom, the model and new quantity for an existing item. When I imported it, the quantity updated in my catalog, but the item name got deleted.

Why would the item name get deleted?? That isn't even one of the editable fields when doing Model/Price/Qty. I can understand if I left the required field blank, but the field isn't even there.

Is there a simple way to update mass product quantities? Shouldn't new data overwrite old, and same data remain untouched?

Looks like you found an error... Hmm.. Now to call the correction a new version or just fix it... Been working on a few changes/additions... How about this, I provide the correction location and soon should have an update (especially since trying to get the v_options_values_price_w field addressed in addition to some of the other things...

line 589 of admin/easypopulate_4_import.php of version 4.0.28 currently reads:

 $row2 = ($ep_uses_mysqli ? mysqli_fetch_array($result) : mysql_fetch_array($result2));

and should read:

$row2 = ($ep_uses_mysqli ? mysqli_fetch_array($result2) : mysql_fetch_array($result2));

That will resolve your issue, and may resolve some of the issues identified recently by others...

Hello. Thanks for the reply, mc. I changed the code as you stated (just the number "2") and tried it again. No, it's still doing the exact same thing. It imports everything fine, but still deletes the product name.

I logged out and back in also, just in case it needed to "refresh" in some way. But same thing over and over.
