Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Scrat]

I have an issue I have installed version 1.2.5.4 and it works fine , but in

Config>Easypopulate

I have only Uploads Directory and none of the other values, but I go into PhpAdmin and all the values are in the database and I can change them in there ok, and import files using the new config that I set in Myphpadmin import ok with the new values, I have removed the records in the database and reinstalled the sql file but I still have the same problem
, could it be a problem with one of my PHP files?

grayceworks :- I have a similar issue that from time to time when import or downloading files the browse resets its self to the logon page, I would question what browse or you using IE, Mozilla, SeaMonkey,Firefox? as I have found it may be your browse try other browsers and see if that makes a difference, it did to me!
Re - your other issue try and give us some examples, as Easypopulate should be connecting to your database as it is only doing sql queries on your database, not someones which I think you are suggesting.

when I try to download using the "Froogle" setting... then I open the downloaded file to view it, it does not show MY products at MY url... it shows MY products appended to some one else's url... as if there was an example url that did not get taken out somewhere maybe? But I don't want to mess with the code unless I know what I am doing... LOL


When I try to download using the filters, such as by categories, it boots me out of admin, and I have to log in again. I am using Mozilla.

When I try to download "complete" it does not show the products meta tags or attributes or anything except the product model, number, category, and descriptions...

When I try to download "attributes" it SEEMs to work, but when I open the file that it downloads, there is the error written in the file as listed below, and nothing else in the file.

Ok... I was using EP2.75somethingor other...

I've now uploaded and installed 1.2.5.4 instead, which as I've read is supposed to be better?

It seemed all right at first, it created the "complete" file in my temp directory, prompted me to clean up a bunch of partially deleted products to clean up my database, and has links to download the files, instead of the drop down menu.

However, clicking on any of the links other than...complete ... causes a "500 internal server error" after sitting there trying to download for a while.

I NEED to download my ATTRIBUTES and FROOGLE files... and it won't let me! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

correction... I can export the Froogle file to the temp directory, and then download it from there.... I still can't do the Attributes...

When I try to download "complete" it does not show the products meta tags or attributes or anything except the product model, number, category, and descriptions...

v_products_model    v_products_image    v_products_name_1    v_products_description_1    v_products_url_1    v_specials_price    v_specials_date_avail    v_specials_expires_date    v_products_price    v_products_weight    v_date_avail    v_date_added    v_products_quantity    v_manufacturers_name    v_categories_name_1    v_categories_name_2    v_categories_name_3    v_categories_name_4    v_categories_name_5    v_categories_name_6    v_categories_name_7    v_tax_class_title    v_status    EOREOR 

The above is the fields you will get from a complete down load it does not include meta tags or attributes(Note the note in Brackets), you have to download Model/Attributes to get Attributes. I think I am right saying this but with version 1.2.5.4 meta tags are not supported.

Download Complete tab-delimited .txt file to edit (Attributes Not Included)
Download Model/Price/Qty tab-delimited .txt file to edit
Download Model/Category tab-delimited .txt file to edit
Download Froogle tab-delimited .txt file
Download Model/Attributes tab-delimited .txt file

I was using Firefox and it was always going back to logon try a different browers, Opera on Linux or IE for windows, I am sure you will fine that does the trick.

I really don't know about the issue, have you got these other url's in your database or listed in the product details, as its got to be in your database to pull the information from, have a look in your database via Phpadmin in you products records and you will see the fields froogle download is pulling the information from.

PS don't use version EP2.75 its broken with bugs version 1.2.5.4 is good!

I uninstalled the 2.75 and installed the 1.2.5.4... I am no longer having trouble with the code thingy... I am no longer having trouble with being taken back to login... the Froogle thingy is fixed.. sorta.. it lets me export to "temp" then download from there....

I still cannot download Attributes, it times out with a 500 internal server error.

i've finished uploading EP to my mainframe. However, now when i try to "insert into DB" my file: Full-EP2007Feb08-1503.txt i get this message:

Upload Results
File uploaded.
Temporary filename: /tmp/phpMJlOfM
User filename: Full-EP2007Feb08-1503.txt
Size: 10240

Upload Complete


Of course i get all excited but only to find out that my test product did not get uploaded or if it did it got lost in cyberspace b/c it's not in the correct category (digital/cameras) nor is it a part of the .txt file when I download it ONCE MORE to try and edit...



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone done any work on the Froogle download, Google are changing the feeds regularly and this mod. does not comply?

[jbhansen]

at this time, Easy Populate does not detect new fields. This will change shortly.

Has this changed yet? If not, does anyone know whether it's difficult to add a couple fields from our PRODUCTS table into the upload process manually?
Thanks.

Ez Populate has been working great, what a tool! The only problem I have is that when I enter in something to v_products_description_1 column, it does not import to Zen (the product does not show any description). If I add a description to a product under the admin section of Zen then get the export from EP, it's there. Does it have to be in some other format or field to import? Or, am I missing something obvious?

Here is what I'm currently importing: v_products_model v_products_name_1 v_products_description_1 v_products_price v_categories_name_1 v_categories_name_2 v_products_image v_products_weight v_date_added v_products_quantity v_tax_class_title v_status EOREOR
