Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[kbmets7]

I am using ez populate to add products. The images for my products are hosted at another site. What do I place in the "v_products_image" field. I placed the supplied url from manufacturer, however, the images are broken. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

To clarify, I placed the image url from manufacturer, ie:

http://abccompany.com/12345.jpg

I couldn't find an answer to my question in the places I looked.

How do I get the text formating I want for the product description when I use EP?

That is, I've been entering all of my items thru Admin until today. I've used font = Georgia size = 12 when I typed the description into the new product in Admin.
How do I get Georgia 12 to show up when I use EP?
Today I set the description column in the EP spreadsheet to that font, but I lost it when I uploaded to my store.

Also, I lost my carriage returns that I put into the spreadsheet cell. So, the line breaks I wanted are not there. Do I have to go into Admin and modify each product manually?

Thanks
John

kbmets7 - The way Zencart is working it is looking for the image from the images folder not from a url,
so the link to the image would be

/images/http://abccompany.com/12345.jpg

Why not just ask your supplier to supply the images to host on your site, other wise you would need to add the image via the description box and add the link in there.

e.g
Image 12345 : <img vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0" align="bottom" src="http://abccompany.com/12345.jpg" alt="12345" title="12345"/>

johnd - you need to add html code to your description box

magpie - Langer's 1.2.5.4 works well as a free version and EPA3 (Commercial) works, all others are a little buggy at present

I started getting this error but never had it before:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 106 bytes) in /home/XXXX/public_html/XXXXXXX/easypopulate.php on line 1223

Is there something I can do to fix? I used to be able to load very large files (15mb) without splitting them. Why can't I do it now?

Thanks,
Jason

latest EP free, zen 1.3.8

HumDaddy - PHP has a very small memory, it is always advisable to upload approx. 300 products at once splitting the files and EP always works better that way, and less liklely to cause problems.

Ive just started to use 1.2.5.4 after having a few issues with other versions. Im trying to populate my shop but are finding when uploading the new items the first 6 or 7 load but the remainder fail. The v_prod_model is unique but some of the v_prod_image are the same as some products have varients. I have scratched my head but cant resolve.

Im importing the file to excel but then saving as ms-dos .txt format, it appears to look correct if you open the text file.

Any pointers or suggestions much appreciated.

hduk - Do you get any error messages?

One common mistake, have you got 'EOREOR' @ the end of every line?
