EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[lindsey80]

Hi Can anyone help?

I have imported all of my attributes successfully but the v_products_options_sort_order column doesn't seem to be importing, does anyone have any idea why. I am so close to finishing this big import and this is the only thing delaying it now .

Below example... Everything else is fine!

v_products_options_sort_order

A little delayed in posting this, but...

Version 4.0.36.ZC has been made available for download. Patches "hidden" throughout the recent months are incorporated as well as the issues recently identified. No that doesn't mean that all of the discussion of attributes is incorporated, but there are/were some improvements made.

Download available at: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2069

As is the case with addressing any issue, need additional context.

What is the filename (prefix up to and including the first occurrence of ep), what is the primary key? What are the values of the primary key? What is the result of providing the above sequence of sort orders?

The import file for a detailed import appears to support that operation, although in 4.0.35 there remained some bugs that had to be corrected and hence 4.0.36.

BTW, saw this post where the problem appeared to be that the products_model field was missing and to which the above problem appeared to be associated. If you could please clarify what is going on? If you did have the same problem as was experienced by LilleyPadGifts and have since resolved it, could you please add to that thread what was done to resolve that issue? The above message indicates that all is fine which is different than the referenced post.

Hello,

I have a question. In my product feed is it possible to list more than one image in the v_products_image column?

If possible what would the entry look like? xxx.jpg,xx1.jpg or xxx.jpg:xx1.jpg, xxx.jpg;xx1.jpg ?

Thanks
Frank

The field can take whatever your store will be able to process provided characters are properly escaped.

For a default ZC store, the field contains the path to the base image that is then used to identify additional images. It is not the image itself, just a "pointer" to the location of the image. That pointer is then used in your store to complete the path to the picture.

v_products_image refers to the main image and assumes the image is located in <website root>/images/ folder

if you organize your images INSIDE the /image folder, then you would add that to your image path

say your image is:

<website root>/images/books/bible.png

then you would put "books/bible.png" in your v_products_image column.

For multiple images, review the instructions here:

hope this helps

Thank you for your responses Gentlemen. However, what I am trying to avoid is to have to add additional images using Image Handler to add additional product pictures manually for each individual product. I am looking for a way to be able to add the additional picture links within the EasyPopulate plugin to accomplish this task. Product A would point to imageA.jpg and imageA_1.jpg etc.

Best regards,

Frank

Additional product images are 'assigned' buy the file name of the image file. They are not assigned to the product in any way. This plugin does not upload any images, those need placed on the server separately. Use this to assign the main image. Upload the main image and any additional using the proper naming convetion.
