Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[lhhgbh]

Okay the 2 tests finally showed up after changing the numbers to 1 so I guess what ever i changed beforehand I forgot to test it with the 1 so now I finally have some products showing up.. Now something new has happened.. The item has this: %0d%0a %0d%0a
%0d%0a
%0d%0a
showing up all through the page and its creating spaces through the html and screwing the page all up.. This same codes with all of my other listings that I have done manually... You can go to the absurdatees link below and click on the Suck/Rule at category to see it for yourself.. Its all out of wack! Im excited that they have made it though.. Now to fine-tune it a bit...

%0d%0a .... those look like they might be carriage returns translated poorly from your text file....

You were uploading by FTP.... did you upload as ascii or binary?
Perhaps try uploading using the easypopulate "upload" option.... click Browse and select the file and then click Insert into db.

That worked out good.. My html wont exactly work because I was taking the HTML from my Turbo Lister CSV and of course that code has links to Ebay and I dont want those, but i did actually get it to work and thats all I needed.. So once I put my images into the images folder everything should be okay from there... I really appreciate the help and Im sure I will be back here for questions on my next mod..

that's WAY beyond the scope of easy populate.

Setting all the extra details for music products is a ton of extra coding and debugging to do.

Fair enough :) Guess I have to make a choice whether to manually enter all as music products or skip that and just go with general. Hmmmm.

Anyway, on experimenting, I'm coming up with a couple of problems.

I get the error:

SKIPPED! - Model: SPV07676642 - No category provided for this new product

There is a category specified in my list.

And also:

SKIPPED! - Model: SPV09274492 - Category name(s) too long (max. 32)

When the category is B/Bon Appetite which is obviously less than 32 characters.

Any ideas?

is there a legitimate path though? Ie. v_category_1 1st, etc?

And also:

SKIPPED! - Model: SPV09274492 - Category name(s) too long (max. 32)

When the category is B/Bon Appetite which is obviously less than 32 characters.

None... Can you post a few lines from the upload file into some CODE tags here?

Again here, the first one imports fine, the second says no cat specified, and the third says cat name too long, while the 4th imports fine.

Hope that's enough for now :) I can post the whole file if needed, but thought adding these around the errors would be most use.

you have tabs in your description fields..

[TheSpunkyLobster]

Ok thanks for pointing that out :)

I've cut/pasted from an catalog export from litecommerce. What would be the easiest way to remove these tabs from the csv without manually having to re-enter all of the data?

If you are able to open it with a spreadsheet app, you may be able to copy each column and paste special (if it makes a difference - not sure). Or, you may be able to do a search & replace.

[TheSpunkyLobster]

Thanks for the help so far :)

The paste/special solved the first two.

Doesn't seem to work on the second block though, and i still have the same problem with the category name too long error.
