One vendor that I work with provides a modified version 2.74 for oSc, what is nice of them, it just won't work here on ZC, and it doesn't account for any changes that I may make, such as adding UPC/ISBN, shipping fees, etc. Since they also provide a datafeed in the EP format for oSc it is easy for me to download the datafeed, change the categories to my own, and use the supported ZenCart version of EP.

The correct link is http://www.zen-cart.com/archived_con...s/admin-tools/ to the directory.

Or you can also use this direct link:

http://modhole.com/modhole/index.php...JAS_File_id=60

This is from Langer's own website and the last release, probably the same as found in the ZenCart archived contributions, but not sure.

Not sure how you ended up with the contribution for OSC.

Hi,
My name is Penny, and I am new here. I have a web store (www.4u-dear.com)
and i am running Zen Cart: PHP Version: 4.4.6 (Zend: 1.3.0) HTTP Server: Apache 3.

I just installed Easy Populate 1.2.5.4, It took me some time but I got it. (for a blond). Anyway, my question is : I go to Zen Cart - Tools - Easy Populate, and a page opens and have the following:

Upload EP File
Split EP File
Import from Temp Dir (temp/)
Download EP and Froogle Files

And so on... what do i do next. I have files from my suppler and they are. (.csv, and a lot of .jpg files)

Help.

Hi,

I've set up ezpopulate and it seems to be working well so that's great.

I've just got a question about the show quantity box option for products.

I originally had this set to: "No, Do not show Quantity Box". But when i update my products it seems to get reset it to: Yes, Show Quantity Box.

Has anyone else seen this?

If you have seen this I'd be really interested to know if there is a solution and what it might be.

Once again, thanks to those who have put ezpopulate together it really is a very nice mod.

Ignore this, this is not what i'm seeing.

hi.

I purchased EP advanced a couple months ago....i'm resetting my store and made duplicate products as links...however, the products show up multiple times on the same category. How come? I tried to put the categories and links in ptc_categories_index_path and ptc_categories_linked_path. So if i link to 4 categories, i put 4 rows of data in the spreadsheet right? And in those 4, the ptc_categories_index_path is the same throughout and the linked categories in ptc_categories_linked_path? However Since I put 4 rows of data, the item appears 4 times in my category as well....

what am I doing wrong?

thanks

Hi,

I have Easy Populate installed and loaded one of the temp data files fine but I'm still unsure of how to convert my spreadsheet structure to make it work with EP. I'm using someone elses spreadsheet for their website and his .xls file has some unique fields and not sure the best way to go about it.

I would attach the zipped spreadsheet but the 'manage attachments' doesn't seem to do anything.

The spreadsheet is for a guy who buys and sells police badges. The fields are like so...

Code, Category, Description, Type, Department, State, Date Purchased, My Cost, Asking Price, Date Sold, Sold Price, Profit Margin.

Of course there are photos of each badge as well.

Since I'm just needing to populate the inventory I'm thinking i don't need most of these fields but my brain is a little muddled right now. I looked a the example .cvs files but need a push in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Add one product to your catagories, download the file by the Easy Populate and you will see the structure. Had your email I would send you a sample.

Hi Elk, thanks for replying. I still don't know what you mean specifically so I sent you my email in a private message so you could send me an example.

Thanks for the help
