EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[mc12345678]

Suggestion would be to select the un-install EP4 link in the top right. This will clear the settings in the configuration menu for EP4, then select the install option that will appear and again set the temporary directory to easypopulate4/

It looks like somehow the upgrade operations were not executed to update the configuration menu which would have also placed EASYPOPULATE_4_CONFIG_TEMP_DIR in the database as one of the configuration options described.

The result of this should change the contents shown in the first image above to include Uploads Directory Admin/Catalog and options available of true or false.

If not, then the admin/includes/functions/extra_functions file from the fileset has not been updated to the version included in the fileset. At which point that file (and any others that were not updated/uploaded) would need to be uploaded and the un-install/install process performed again.

As wmorris pointed out, there are three pieces of information being looked at. 2 are to be found by navigating to the admin->configuration->Easy Populate V4 (first picture), the other 1 is found on the Easy Populate V4 menu screen found at admin->Tools->Easy Populate V4 right side of the screen (shown in second picture).

Thank you again mc12345678 and wmorris.
It appears you were correct in surmising that the EASYPOPULATE_4_CONFIG_TEMP_DIR is missing.
See the screenshots that I took after using the "un-install EP4" button:


I'll do as you suggest, add the file, and redo the un-install and re-install.
Where should the file be inserted, just to make sure I put it in the correct place?
Thanks again. I'm looking forward to using this great add-on once again. It's such an awesome tool!

The files from the download are arranged to go to the correct location if copied as a group from the source to your store. All files and folders in the admin directory of the download are to go into the admin directory of your site. Copying them over in that way (instead of one file at a time) minimizes the potential of misplacement or other issues.

That said, the above screen shot is expected if have only done the uninstall (as what was described above). There should be a link available to install (seen in second image) which should also change what is/was seen in the image (if the files are up-to-date).

OK, here's what I've done, but I'm still getting the same error.
1. Hit Un-Install EP4 button
2. Downloaded latest version of EP4 from the zen cart link. Loaded all files via Filezilla to my store directory following the correct file structure. Double checked it to ensure everything was in the correct place.
3. Refreshed the Zen Cart Easy Populate page.
4. Hit Install EP 4. The following screen shots show the EP4 configuration settings. Uploads Directory Admin/Catalog shows "true," and uploads directory is "temp/." As you recall, the Uploads Directory Admin/Catalog line was not showing up before, but now it is.


5. Uploaded a CVS File. A red warning came across the top of the screen saying, "File uploaded successfully: import today 6.3.2018.cvs. Import file to database or see below for more."
6. Hit "Import" There was a green bar across the top of the screen stating "File Import Completed."
7. In spite of all of that, however, there was an error at the bottom of the screen, so I'm still getting the same "Import file does not exist"error.
What am I missing? If there is any other screenshot you need to help me troubleshoot, please let me know.

Here are a couple more screen shots.

Have you tried a file that doesn't have a space in the filename?

[fcutler4]

Thank you, mc12345678! Trying the import with a filename without spaces worked!

Greatly appreciate all you have done to help me through this!
Best wishes!

Welcome. Remember if wanting to use an import "rule" other than what is done for importing "all" product, that the filename actually is part of the process...

I'm getting a MySQL error where categories are not being properly created. The products are being imported.

The error at the top says "An SQL error has occured. Please check your input data for tabs within fields and delete these. If this error continues, please forward your error log to the Easy Populate maintainer"
-- what's the best way to get the error file to the right person?

I've downloaded the latest version from GitHub & am running ZC 1.5.5.e.

I saw the post about the filename having spaces - my file upload doesn't have spaces.

PM sent, though there is some code that has been pushed to the development related github repository at: https://github.com/mc12345678/EasyPo...517c76b5163500

This should resolve the sql error that is reported.
