Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[tcarney.]

Murphy's Law at Work !!!

Regarding Error Message:

1366 Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'configuration_group_id' at row 1 in:
[INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES ('', 'Easy Populate', 'Config options for Easy Populate', '1', '1')]

I found an OScommerce forum that suggested disabling Strict Mode in MySQL 5.

I did this using the MySQL Administrator under:
Startup Variables>Advanced>SQL Mode (uncheck this box)

Now, on to figuring out how it works.

Thanks for having such a great tool.

WebGuyGary,
I do believe your figures will work. If I purchase one item that normally retails for $10 I get for $7.60, and if I purchase another item that is regularly priced at $15 then you would only charge $11.40. If I was to order 3 of the first then the price would drop to $4.60 each, for a total of $13.80. And for 6 of the $15 item I would be looking at $5.10 per item for a total of $30.60

tcarney.,
Sorry you had to spend 6 hours to find your solution. Yes, right now you need to do somethings slightly different if you are using MySQL 5.0 or later. You seem to have a good setup, using version 5 of PHP and MySQL. With PHP discontinuing support for version 4 by the end of the year most hosting companies will be upgrading from version 4 to 5. Some hosting companies still use the first version of Apache. Since you got EP to work with MySQL 5.x you are good to go for years to come.

I have read through all the posts and have not found my problem mentioned. EasyPopulate works fine if I have the complete category hierarchy in the DB. If I don't, it hangs. I would really like to solve this problem to be able to start with a clean database and populate it iwth the proper products and category hierarchy.

Any idea why easypopulate hangs when the categories do not already exist in the DB?

I had a slightly different problem, and upon review, I came to the conclusion that the best practice is to manually create the catagory structure before adding any products. I bit of a pain if you have a lot of catagories, but important to avoid troubles.

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a VERY stupid question but I am lost and having a REALLY bad day! I have ep installed and configured, it has automatically created a file in temp. Here's where I am lost, what do I do now??? I am trying to copy one of my categories to another category. Oh and the category I am copying has LOTS of attributes, so how do I do that too!
Thanks for all of your help!!

I have installed EP in my new Zencart, which I switched to from OSC. I get the following message on the EP screen:

Warning: dir(/home/myacct/public_html/zencart/temp/) [function.dir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/myacct/public_html/zencart/admin/easypopulate.php on line 994

However I have installed all the files in the DL. What am I missing?

TIA

I'm not sure how that solves my problem, could you be so kind as to elaborate in greater detail?
thanks.
