Okay so I cant add a column and I will try that, but what about taking a column away? There are a few columns that I dont need.. Should I leave them blank or can i delete them? Thanks...

Leave them blank, since fields are needed!

Okay I used the sample sheet and didnt add anything to it or take anything away.. i did leave all of the fields blank that i dont use.. The products are still not showing up, but it did at least give me the details and go through pretty fast this time... Here is what it said:Upload Results

Model# is mandatory, it is used as the primary key, without it your record won't load.

Thats not fair because non of my products that I have listed use the model# option.. SO what can I put on there? Can I put something generic?

I put the term T Shirt in the Model field, but nothing is showing up once I put things in the DB.. What other fields are necessary? Also I went into the admin and under Product Types I have never specified anything there so I editted the General Products tab and changed it to T Shirt and of course the test items I tried still didnt work.. SO what am I missing? I have the sample sheet thats in the temp folder as my template.. i have all of the columns intact.. I dont have all of them filled with info so Im guessing that might be my problem..

Also I keep wondering if I was supposed to drag the file "install_sql" in the Easy Populate Unzipped Folder into my website? The instructions didnt tell me to, but then why is that file there? If I need to drag it into my cart which folder do I put it in? Thanks..

The Model# field is the primary key, hence it needs to be unique. Make it anything you'd like, just no dups.

The "install_sql" file needs to be loaded from Tools-Install SQL Patches (it modifies the DB).

I still cant get anything to show up... I changed the tab delimited file that the model column had two different made up names "suck1, suck2 as you can see below.. Everything seems to work fine, but no product showing up in the store.. Im using the import from temp dir. option to put them into the DB.. I use drag and drop from my hard drive to the ftp folder to upload the updated sheet.. So what have I missed?

Just installed this mod, and it's gonna save me a boat load of time in converting over from my old cart.

One question though, I've worked out how to make sure new items are created as product type music, but is it possible to specify the artist, label and genre using Easy Populate?

[TheSpunkyLobster]

And on reflection, I'm able to make them product_type_music but when I go and try and look at them in admin I get the following error:

Warning: reset(): Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/xxxxxx/admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 29

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/xxxxxx/admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 30

And all the fields are blank.

I know this must be related to me changing the default for product type to 2. However, is their a way to import them as product_type_music instead of general? I'm happy for a fix here that will then only let me import as product_type_music and not general, but not sure where to start looking in the easy populate files to do this.
