Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[www35814]

Looked through the log didn't see this listed.

zen 1.3.6 easypop 1.2.5.4

Installed and upload inventory and everything seemed to upload and work correctly.

Now - items show up in categories etc. go to click on them, they can't be found.

Also - after install the following line started showing up in header

* Shopping Cart * Checkout * Create Account * Log In

Any clues

Hey,

With the old easypopulate, when I cut and paste HTML including tables and bulleted lists into the description cell in Excel and upload that to the store it is completely stuffed. Yet if I cut and paste the same HTML into Zen-Cart using the online add product feature it is fine?

Will this be fine in the new version or what else can I do for the time being? I have HTML descriptions to enter but it is too slow to enter individually online but when I do it in excel pasting lists it comes stuffed (usually I take the HTML code from Frontpage and paste in Excel), when I upload it the product description has massive spaces

Also there is product dross which can't get rid of, and there is a MySQL timeout at the bottom whenever I download my easypopulate into excel?

regards,
Dave

Does EP produce a correct file for upload to Google Base?
I have installed EP1.2.5.4 on ZCv1.3.6

Is the download for EP formatted for Google?

My upload to Google was declined for this reason:

"Using Froogle attributes (fields): We noticed that your bulk upload is using attribute names specified in the old Froogle product feed format. For example, you've included "product_url" as an attribute name, although this attribute is named "link" in the Google Base format. Please convert your product feed to the new Google Base format by changing the attribute names in your header line:"

Yes, it does, but it is in EasyPopulate Advanced, 3.0.3 and it works very well. In the export files generator, there is now a Google Base option that will generate a complete file that you can upload to google. The only thing you will have to do (at least it was all I had to do) is to open the file, save it as a tab-text (.txt) file.

It may just be me, but I didn't have to make any adjustments to the actual file at all and Google excepted it 100%.

Thanks. I had understood that the standard version also worked for Google.
The option to generate the file is in the standard version. But I guess it does not generate a correct file?

Previous versions (or standard) have the Google/Froogle feed generator. Froogle no longer exists, but to be honest, I never used that feature when I had the older versions of EP, so, I don't have a base for comparison. I just know that Google Base in EP Advanced works. If your version of ZenCart will support it, I would suggest that you upgrade. The new category system takes a little getting used to, but once you figure it out, it's pretty easy, and, very fast and powerful.

Hope this helps, sorry if it doesn't. Just my nickles worth

Well, to be honest with you, I was personally a little upset that "Easy Populate Advanced" was being sold for profit when it was developed with code that was in the GPL.

Therefor, I have started modifying the last released version of EP to work properly with Google Base, as well as some other modifications (I've already fixed the SaleMaker bug).

I've uploaded the SaleMaker fixed version in the Admin Tools, I'm just waiting for the mods to approve it now.

The Google Base version will be along shortly.

Hey Guys....

I am new to Zen Cart...but very familiar to OScommerce..........

I am trying to figure something out.....and figure that easy populate is what I need....maybe modified a little

My suppliers have given me cd's of all their products and I am just trying to figure out how to import them into my database..........

I have played around with easy populate a bit and i am having no success.........

I have saved as many formats.....and the products just arent showing up anywhere???????

is there an easy way to import these files are does it need to be a manual edit in order for it to work????

I am running the latest Zen and PHP5.......

Any help would be greatly appreciated
