Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[digitalninjas]

Hello all,

I seem to be having a problem when uploading my Excel file (in Tab delimited format). I have about 12 categories and when I upload it it will put the first 10 categories in another folder with the name of the quantity I gave all of the items (9999 since they're virtual) but 1 complete category will be in the category's "root" while the biggest category seems to of split into 2, one being in the category's "root" and the other half in the 9999 folder. I've included a screenshot to help solve the confusion and if this is still confusing just tell me and I'll be glad to re-word the situation

edit:

I have the following headers inside the Excel file:

v_products_model
v_products_name
v_products_price
v_date_avail
v_date_added
v_products_quantity
v_categories_name_1
v_categories_name_2
v_tax_class_title
v_status
EOREOR


Am I missing something?

If I remember correctly, you need all the columns from the original EP sample for it to work correctly, even if the only thing in a column is its title.

Follow up on my 406 errors and the "mod_sec" issues some have.

Sad news for me. Here is the reply from my server company.

========================


Response from Server Admin below.

---------------------

mod_security is installed on the server, it is working as it should and that
is why easy populate for zencart is not working. I am not intimately
familiar with the easy populate script however from what i have read some
say it is written in a fashion that allows sql injections which are filtered
by mod_sec . The client can do a few things.

a. Don't use easy populate

b. Work with the software developer to have easy populate written to work
with mod_sec

c. Disable mod_sec for his domain using .htaccess , he would need to create
the file and put something like this in it:

==================

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

==========================

It sounds like the client already knows how to do that. While we do not
condone disabling mod_sec at the domain level we also don't disallow it. It
is the client's responsibility if something negative occurs from disabling
mod_sec through .htaccess .


To use easy populate I guess I have to take my chances.


Zen Cart with a nice native Import/export function would be nice.

You could just use the .htaccess trick while doing an import, then comment it out in the .htaccess for the rest of the time.

I am relatively new to ZenCart but have been making my way through understanding the workings. I would like to be able to import product info into my cart from a previous project. I tried to install and configure Easy Populate for this. I am having trouble with uploading a changed version of the data file. It seems to be related to permissions in the temp folder although I did set the permissions to the temp folder to read/write/execute (chmod 700) but am still getting an error like this:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(D:/inetpub/DomainID135310/ZenCart/temp/Full-EP2006Nov10-1705.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\inetpub\DomainID135310\ZenCart\admin\includes\functions\extra_functions\easyp opulate_functions.php on line 57

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in D:\inetpub\DomainID135310\ZenCart\admin\easypopulate.php on line 1301

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

read/write/execute (chmod 700)

is wrong; should be 777

[earmsby]

Thanks. I will try that. Was going by the install isntructions.

I was experiencing similar problems... What was your error exactly?

[earmsby]

is wrong; should be 777

Ok, I did chmod777 and that still didn't work. Next step talk to webhost?
