Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[admcompa]

Hi,

Does anybody know of a way to add a field so that you can also upload MAP Prices with you product upload?

Thanks

I haven't done it myself, but I assume you'll need to modify the parser

I'm going to go through and remove the single quotes by changing all of the 'child's' type statements into 'of the child' and set the text delimiter to to the single quote when I save the file.

The text qualifier should be 'none'. The file you import into Easy Populate should be tab-delimited.

I have loaded
Products: 421
Products deactivated: 12

However when you look at all the products that are only 112 listed as active. Is there a setting that I missed? Also all the pictures are there for the 421 items, the ones that are not active show as item not available when clicked on. I am using EP_v2_74_MS2_1 version of Easy Populate.

Is there any progress with downloading and uploading products with Attributes yet?

I've read posts until I'm cross-eyed and can't find an answer. I do know that I'm not the first to have this problem.
Everything seems to show up ok in admin but everytime I try to import or export I get kicked back to admin login screen.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Please

I have installed EP v1.2.5.4 successfully ( it said) on zen v1.3.7.

PROBLEM #1: I already had 400+ items that I had input manually. To determine the correct format for EP, I created a "full" EP file of these 400+ and downloaded to my pc. When I attempted to open it in excel, this msg pops up:





and if I click OK, this is what I see. Looks like everything in one cell?





so I am unable to even see the column format to start adding new items.

NOTE: None of these 400+ items have a manufacturer stated. The ones I will be adding will have a mfg. So I think I have to put a mfg for the "old" 400+ items.........yes? (that is, after I am able to open the file with excel and see the columns correctly)

PROBLEM #2: In admin>tools>easypopulate this msg appears at the top:
5 partially deleted product(s) found! Delete this dross to prevent unwanted zencart behaviour by clicking here.
You are seeing this because there are references in tables to a product that no longer exists, which is usually caused by an incomplete product deletion. This can cause Zen Cart to misbehave in certain circumstances.


If I click "here" to delete it gives the msg of:
Warning Deleting of product data debris failed! Please see the debug log in your uploads directory for further information.

The debug logs says:
Product debris corresponding to the following product_id(s) cannot be deleted by EasyPopulate:
455:7fc7de0c9edee6e9f541cdd9259e61ce
4:b0b969649d53ac67d3ae46c0851abc32

515:e9558216cfcd290e33811fd3b84ffb02
It is recommended that you delete this corrupted data using phpMyAdmin.



Now being a complete novice at phpMyAdmin, I bravely went to see if I could find the above jIbberish. I looked under "product" and could find nothing like this. Where am I supposed to find this debris? Anyone know?

many thanks in advance,
Shirley

Hi,

I am having a problem with importing some data from my supplier.

I have setup the tab delimited file as per the template exported from my database. The categories are created in Zen Cart admin.

There are only 14 products as this is a test run. When I attempt to import the 14 products only 3 are actually imported. Here is the output:

File uploaded.
Temporary filename: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\php4.tmp

Please disregard previous post, I was able to resolve this by placing unique values for the v_products_model column.
