EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Importing attributes is the topic. A client has two identical sites, one wholesale and one retail.

Trying to simplify product additions for them so they:

1. add a new item to the wholesale site
2. Do a 'Complete Product' export
3. Do a 'Basic Products Attributes' export
4. Import the 'Complete Product' csv on the retail site (good so far)
5. Import the 'Basic Products Attributes' on the retail site - problem.

The new product does not have attributes. The Import Results at the bottom of the page on the retail site show:

UPDATED! - Model: JimJim | 23997 | Todler Siz | 3-T,4-T |

The problem is that the attribute name is Todler Size: This is the csv content:

v_products_model,v_products_options_type,v_products_options_name_1,v_products_op tions_values_name_1
JimJim,23997,Todler Size:,"3-T,4-T"

Just for fun, I also tried:

"v_products_model","v_products_options_type","v_products_options_name_1","v_prod ucts_options_values_name_1"
"JimJim",23997,"Todler Size:","3-T,4-T"

Issue is the v_products_options_type value (23997), this normally would be a value between 0 and 5 for a blank/fresh store... So would need to know what "type" of option is being used on each store and adjust accordingly... The products_option_type number is the option value as found from the admin screen when using the option name manager that corresponds with the particular option type, ie. dropdown is typically 0, Text is 1, Radio 2, Checkbox 3, File 4, Read Only 5... Depending on how other plugins add the values and sequence of adding the plugin(s)/values, the option value could be almost any number.
