Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[verdon]

Ok, non of the chmod settings worked other than 644. Setting the file to anything higher caused an internal database error. I talked to my system admin and he doesn't know how to fix the problem. any other ideas?

A quick google shows that this is not something specific to zen-cart or EP, but is a server issue. Try there and skim a few results.

Well, I am attempting my second "stock" install of ZC. Hopefully the new setup will give me more speed. The next BIG issue will be Easy Populate... I have looked at the thread here and everyone seems to be having trouble with EP... It is essential that a program like EP work each and everytime... There is NO WAY to use ZC if we cannot import a store products listing after a minimal setup of a few of the catagories, products and attributes. Getting EP to work without screwing up the database is imperitive.... So bottom line here...
What is the MOST Current Version ? Where do we get it ?
Does it really work ? Safely ?

Hope the EXPERTS will jump in and tell us all the truthful gory details !

Absolute bull! There's always the old-fashioned method of manually entering your products! OK, I accept there may be no way for YOU to use it - I'm only pointing this out for the benefit of the noob who might just see that comment and thinks that s/he needs EP to add a handful of products or they must abandon ZC.

Think about it - the only people who post here on the EP support thread are those for whom things HAVE gone wrong; the hundreds (thousands?) who have no problem with it don't keep posting to say "I have no problem"

So, the most recent version is available from http://www.zencartbuilder.com . This is the pro, paid for, and you get support from the author. However, unless there's been some major changes since I last looked, you MUST HAVE your complete category structure in place; EP does NOT create categories for you.

Hi! Happy Presidents' Day! :)

I was working just fine w/ easy populate and then all of a sudden i'm getting this message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.../public_html/admin/easypopulate.php on line 1996

I have not changed a thing in my .php file since it was working fine earlier this morning.

If anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be WONDERFUL. Thanks

If you are talking about the Pro version, this may be true, but the version I got here DOES create categories if you import a product(s) and type in category and sub-cat names in the txt file...saved me some major setup time, once I figured out how I wanted each item categorized.

ok somehow this went away but now...

i'd really appreciate any help b/c i'm at the point where i want to pull my hair out... THANKS

[hugslife]

it looks like the query is missing an end quote
the query reads
products_quantity="20, products_price_w="11.4900"
where it ought to be
products_quantity="20", products_price_w="11.4900"

hope that helps you out!

ps---has anyone come up with a solution for incorporating product types into easypopulate?

Hi there. Having some problems with the date format on the new easy populate. Its making my products expected in 2008 etc. Can someon please clafify the correct date format for excel I have tried yyyy-mm-dd h:m:s yyyy-mm-dd h:m
dd-mm-yyyy & yyyy-mm-dd

HELP!

Once the products are added to the database can I adjust these values or do I need to delete them & add them again?? (that will stuff up any favourites & saved cart references though)

[Scrat]

Date and time format should be :-

yyyy-mm-dd h:m:s

You should be able to import the file again and it will re - import all the dates and times etc.
