EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[Zean]

As to your next step of exporting a sample file. Spot on. Please keep in mind usage as described in the instructions for uploading and also note that there is a patch on the previous page if you are uploading attributes using EP4 version 4.0.35.ZC as downloaded from the ZC site.

I can not successfully import detailed attributes.
I applied the patch on the previous page since I'm working with attributes using EP4 version 4.0.35.ZC as downloaded from the ZC site, by adding the 4 instances of the colon to easypopulate_4_attrib.php.

Background
I thought I would use EP4 to export products from an existing Zen Cart store v1.54 and try importing them into a freshly installed empty ZC v.1.55a store.

I exported 3 files.

File 1. I exported using Filterable Exports: Download Type = Complete Products and left the other parameters (i.e, Categories, Manufactures, Status) at their default (I assume that's the way to get everything).
Full-EP2016May31-220237.csv

File 2. I exported using Attribute Export/Import Options
Basic Products Attributes (basic single-line)
Attrib-Basic-EP2016May31-221112.csv

File 3. I exported using Attribute Export/Import Options
Detailed Products Attributes (detailed multi-line)
Attrib-Detailed-EP2016May31-221156.csv


I uploaded the 3 files into the new empty ZC v1.55a store using "Upload EP File", Browse, Upload. The files then automagically appeared under the apparently appropriate EP4 admin File Name sections . . .

File 1. This contains any other file. They will be processed like the upload of a full data file.
Full-EP2016May31-220237.csv

File 2. Prefix: attrib-basic-ep. It will be processed through the Basic Attribute filters.
Attrib-Basic-EP2016May31-221112.csv

File 3. Prefix: attrib-detailed-ep. It will be processed through the Detailed Attributes filters.
Attrib-Detailed-EP2016May31-221156.csv

I then attempted to Import the 3 files by clicking on their associated Import buttons.

File 1 seems to have worked fine . . .
Updated records: 171
New Imported records: 148
Errors Detected: 0
Warnings Detected: 0

File 2 seems to have worked reasonably well . . .
Updated records: 28
New Imported records: 839
Errors Detected: 161
Warnings Detected: 0

File 3 will not import nor update anything into the store . . . What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? I only get errors and zero Imported and zero Updated records for the Attrib-Detailed-EP file.
