Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[yellow1912]

I emailed the author of this mod for before-sale question and never got any reply, so I figure out I'd better not spending any money on something that I will never get any support.

Hi, I'm a newbie trying to figure out how to work w/ both EP & Image Handler.

Problem:

Unlike the basic ZC template which stores all product images in the "Images" folder, IH stores my images into the bmz_cache folders it installed, and gives them random (and very long) image names, making me wonder how I'm supposed to upload batch images using EP into an image folder accessible by my delimited EP file.

How does one go about combining these two modules for streamlined image uploading?

Please help!

Thanks in advance,

Alice

Hi Alice,

Those file names are generated by IH2. You call your images whatever you like and upload them using EP, The IH2 then does it's thing transparently (it never really changes any image files as it's just a renamed copy that you see). Hope this answers your question!

Hello! Need some help here. I am using the latest version of ZC and EP. Had help from Nicholas to install EP.

I need some very, very basic instruction.

I saved the store download to my desktop. I opened it with OpenOffice Calc as a tab delimited file. everything looks good.

I need to move nearly 900 items into existing categories. Right now they are in a misc. category.

I changed the category name of two items then saved my file, (same tab-delimited format) and uploaded the file. I checked the two items to see if they showed up in their new home category and they did not. They have not moved.

What have I done wrong? When I download the store again, my changes do not appear in the new text file.

Can someone explain what I did wrong?

Thanks

I forgot to mention that I have EPA (Easy Populate Advanced) not EP and my upload reported as successful. Totally lost here.

Who can help me?

Hello PeppyOne,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, yet I seem to be the one responding first. We don't support the paid version of EP (known as Easy Populate Advanced[EPA]) here, as the code is not readily available to look at, or modify. You will need to seek help from where you purchased it, or have them direct you to the correct place for help, if you didn't purchase it directly from the publisher.

Now the good news. Most likely EPA created a link, and you could check by looking in your store front. You may have to clear your browser's cache first. Worst comes to worst then remove everything from your store (items, not mods or add-ons), then use the revised file to upload everything to the correct categories.

Hi,

I've got zencart running and easy populate installed. I've successfully uploaded small sample .cvs files provided with no problem but whenever I try to do this with my own inventory it simply does not load.

I'm not getting any errors just an empty site. I've taken an existing spreadsheet file that works and just replaced the various columns with my own data. When I go to save it it questions how I want the columns seperated and what kind of quotes I want to use as well.

I think this is maybe where it's going wrong. I'm using OpenOffice. I'll include both the spreadsheet and the .cvs file I save it as. Driving me nuts.

Thanks for any help.

If your file is too big and contains too many data, EP may take more time to finish it. And usually the default maximum execution time of a script is 30s, so it can just time-out while running, leaving you with a blank page. EP readme file should metion somewhere how to set the time limit.

Hi Yellow..

No it shows that the file is uploaded within about 10 seconds at most. I've been wrestling with this all afternoon.

Thanks

The way I was saving it was the problem. I chose just to seperate by 'tab' and no quotes and it works.
