Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Parafanaylya]

I've a new issue:

1 partially deleted product(s) found! Delete this dross to prevent unwanted zencart behaviour by clicking here.
You are seeing this because there are references in tables to a product that no longer exists, which is usually caused by an incomplete product deletion. This can cause Zen Cart to misbehave in certain circumstances.

????

and then it gets a second message:

Warning Deleting of product data debris failed! Please see the debug log in your uploads directory for further information.

Where is the debug log in uploads directory?

and then onto another.

I am busy with attributes, and there are a couple of fields that are not downloading when I create a temp file on the server.

• I would prefer to work with the price factor field as this is a percentage, and will involve less editing, if and when there are price changes. Currently it sees the price value field which I do not use as it involves a "rise per size" pricing structure - and this requires individual pricing entries per attribute as opposed to copy/pasting a percentage in the price factor field. Lots less work.

• Sort order - I set my sort order in admin-> attributes controller, but this field does not download

Should I edit this in the database? or is that too dangerous for a motor mechanic?

Otherwise EP is helping a great deal - thanx

sorry for not being available the last few weeks. A little 4.5kg boy is keeping me busy

I'll address any unanswered questions in turn. regarding the dross not being dleted, this is a bug. Ignore the error message for now. You can, if you wish, remove the offending table names the function checks in /admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/easypopulate.php:

TABLE_CUSTOMERS_BASKET,
TABLE_CUSTOMERS_BASKET_ATTRIBUTES

I am working very hard to release the 1st advanced version in the next 2 weeks, and will at that time apply the bugfixes to the free version for all to enjoy.

The dross is gone. thank you

and congratulations - I hope that this guy doesn't end up playing for the Wallabies against the Springboks - sheesh , that's huge

Where can I download a copy of Easy Populate. I have tried to download from the ModHole, but the link does not download a zip file, only a index.php file.

Yeah... it's been driving me nuts!

Try it again now - I'm fairly confident I've fixed it. If you have problems, try saving 1st before opening it, and if this fails try it with Firefox (which definately works).

Was there ever a resolution to Easy Populate causing repeated Admin logins. I have used EP and love it, but now I can't use it and can't remove it. I have the latested recommended files for EP and ZC.

Regarding admin logins, I was never able to reproduce this error.

I would like to know if there is a way to modify the ezpop model-categories dump, altering the categories for some products, and reload without creating linked products but acutally moving the product to another category.

Product moving will be added shortly.

Product moving will be added shortly.

Great. Thanks for the reply.

I have a question if anyone can help me; I have Zen v 1.2.7 running Easy populate version EP_v2_75a.

I do not support this buggy version.. sorry.

Now I want to add in discounts. So through product price manager I set a new price for 2-15 kgs , another prcie for 16-135 kgs (product is sold per kg) and again it works great.

Can this be done through Easy popluate or am I in for some long nights or data entry?

this is not currently supported by Easy Populate.

...problem is this is in x and y, so i have to add 360 options in all, which when easypopulate exports, it will mean 360x3 because of the way easypopulate adds its own columns into the csv, so with the 600 i already have and a further 1000+ i am looking at the easypopulate csv from hell.

Steve, sounds like you are the guy to consult when I redo the attributes. Please pm me when you get the chance and I'll shoot you an email. I have some ideas, but would like to get your input. Thanks.

[StevenD]

sent you a PM, would be glad to hear from you, maybe test whatever you have in mind.

sent a few idea's in the PM.

Thanks

Steven
