EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[mc12345678]

I have read your comment more than a dozen times and I do not understand what you have put.

Drilling down to admin/configuration/Easy Populate 4/User Defined Products Fields inserted 'Products Cost' which the plugin (Product_Cost_Display) is used to add the cost to me in the products page.

I then go to admin/tools/Easy Populate 4 and on the right hand side under 'User Defined Products Fields:' is the title I put in under admin/configuration/Easy Populate 4/User Defined Products Fields but it is showing 'False'.

Now I understand a bit of what you have put however, do I need to re-install 'Product_Cost_Display' for EP4 to see or what?

The information needed to know is 1) what is the exact name of the field(s) added by your plugin, and 2) to what table(s) does it add the field(s)?

Let's assume the name of the field is product_cost_display and that the field is added to the products table. If that is the case, then the field will appear in the export and will also be imported (when present) to the database when working with the full products type import/export file once the user defined field includes: product_cost_display.

Take it one step at a time:
If there is a field in the products table to be used, then goto the configuration->ep4->user defined field.
Add each field that is in the products table that is not normally exported with each field separated by a comma.
Goto tools->ep4, export the full products data and will see the values associated with the field(s) that were added.

EP4 does not "detect" software installation, it generally looks for fields to exist in the database for "known" plugins or attempts to pull data based on what the user has entered as a custom field.

Help. Newbie here and I love the simplicity of using easy populate but my images are showing up small distorted when new products are added using easy populate. Tried Image handler. Only way they get fixed is if I go in open product to edit and click update. Any help would be appreciated. My site is www.thedragonskeep.net check out the witchcraft/pagan books & calendars category pretty sure some there that are waiting for me to fix.
Thanks

So, EP4 does nothing more with an image than a default ZC installation does. It simply populates the database with the location of the main image. If there has been some software installed that must perform som action on the product while stepping through the collect_info and update_product step(s), then that action must be duplicated at some point in the process... (Ie. Custom coding).

As to locating the image(s) that might be a problem, well, 137 product, not sure if issue is visible in the categories listing or if only when viewing the product_info page, also don't know if it is on desktop only or on the particular mobile template that is in use and actually aggravates the daylights out of me because so slow which further was aggravating to scroll down to the last of what seemed like 100s of categories... But then maybe I accidentally expanded a category because of the template. Sorry, I digress... Anyways, point being thank you for identifying the website and the category, but could really use further refinement to help out. Otherwise glad that EP4 is working for you.

Hi,
Thanks here are a couple of links for the products I haven't fixed yet. http://www.thedragonskeep.net/index....ducts_id=23868
http://www.thedragonskeep.net/index....ducts_id=23857
It happens both on regular and mobile theme. As soon I open the product in admin and literal preview, then update without updating anything else it fixes the image so unsure where in the translation it is getting mistranslated :-) This is one I fixed by opening, preview and safe in admin- http://www.thedragonskeep.net/index....ducts_id=23796
Thanks for your help.

First thing I see is that your images are saved with capital letters... Default operations do not like at least the capital extension *.JPG... This could be a source of your issue.... Not sure how the file(s) are saved, but the database should not have them as capital.

Example in order of above:

pID: 23868, SITE/images/BMAGWHE.JPG; pID: 23857, SITE/images/BEVEWIT.JPG; pID: 23796, SITE/bmz_cache/7/7cf17543707cfa11e19900d1ab6d5392.image.136x180.jpg

Apparently in "opening/editing/saving" the product, the capitalization is modified/corrected, but if the file were saved and referenced in lowercase, then this should not happen/need to happen.

[Amethyst_fairy]

That maybe the issue as I was using the database from the supplier. Quick question before I try a couple of trial ones is it just the JPG that shouldn't be capitalized or the whole file name. If just the JPG then it is happening in both lower case and upper case example http://www.thedragonskeep.net/index....ducts_id=23904 Otherwise maybe an easy fix :-)

If I right click and click view image full image then shows.

So confusing.

[Amethyst_fairy]

Trying to figure this out. Tried all lower case didn't work.
Here is 2 image HTML from product information one from a product up for awhile.

<img width="93" height="180" title=" 1 1/2&quot; Ankh sterling " alt="1 1/2&quot; Ankh sterling" src="bmz_cache/0/0309ca239ec1515034f168ae193a61d5.image.93x180.JPG">

Thanks for the info, mate. I will get my head around this.

Thanks for the info, mate. I will get my head around this.

What plugin is this? What is the link to download it?

Are you sure it's not just adding visible information to the user display side? After installing it was there anything on the admin side that had to be entered new/differently for product in the admin?
