Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[milobloom]

Thanks.

I have been using 1.2.5.4 for a long time now.
Problem I have is trying to move items from site to site that are
very heavy with Attributes...

But I am sure in time... This will be solved...

Well, if you need the advanced version, then you'll need to buy it from langer on his site... not expensive considering the time you've lost already. However, this forum won't support you with EPA.

If you are moving data between sites, better to use phpMyAdmin to export the file as sql. Open the sql file with a plain text editor and remove site specific data and then import that into your new site's with phpMyAdmin. Quite easy to do. The only trouble you may run into is MySQL versions ... but these are not insurmountable.

There has been some discussion of writing an update... but currently no one is taking up THAT flag.

Hi

I'm using ep1.2.5.4 but my problem are in specias price format different from "regular price product". When I download ep to my server then the format of special prices change to other. EXAMPLE: I upload 13.55 and all it's ok in zencart shop special product, but when I do a download of my products using fullep then in dthe row of specials change to 1.350.000.

Thanks in advance

If I could somehow get a little more detail on how to do that it would be worth a try.

Hey, all. New to Easy Populate. Looks like this will save me countless hours. Haven't explored it much, but in theory, my gosh... this will be incredible for me.

Here's the deal... I'm having trouble finding how to link my downloadable products via Easy Populate. In otherwords, in Zen-Cart, I link my .zip file that is in my downloads folder in the attributes section. But how do I link it in Easy Populate. I can't seem to find this function.

Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Is it possible to specify the downloadable file associated with a product via Easy Populate?

Nakris (or anybody)... have you found an answer to this question? I'm in the same boat, needing to be able to associate the downloadable file within EP.

Thanks! This would be a great help if you know the answer.

EP currently manages attributes poorly, and does not manage downloadable files yet - sorry!

Nicholas,

Hi. I just caught this quote, but it was made in July of '06. I'm searching high and low to see if EP now manages downloadable files. This would be incredible for me if so. Let me know...

Many thanks for this!

EasyPopulate doesn't handle attributes, and the details of downloadable files are ... attributes.
As far as I can tell there was no update done to handle downloadable products in EP before Nicholas stopped developing the mod.

Thanks for the response. This may be a semantics issue and a lack of understanding on my part, but I just purcased the Advanced version yesterday and it does handle some attribute stuff. Like the options name and value name. Only thing it's really lacking for me is linking the downloadable product. Again, it may be my lack of understanding as to what you mean by saying it "doesn't handle attributes." I am able to use EP to provide the option and value names though.... for whatever that's worth.

Regardless, hopin' they add that feature. It's a really great contribution!
