Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[ButterflyPressInk]

Thank you so much for the tip to use OpenOffice! It was so great to finally see actual columns of data!!!

HOWEVER, my column headings don't match up with the data after the first few. I have been deleting thru the admin panel unnecessary Option Names with their corresponding Values to try to reduce the downloaded file size. So I tried manually realigning the file headings with their data but say there should be "16" attribute values for one name, the headings only seem to have three of them. Totally messed up.

Has anyone ever seen columns being out of synch like that? I noticed it in Excel too with what little I could see of the columns.

Thanks misty - visited site, says that it doesn't support all platforms as yet. do you know if windows Vista is one of those non supported platforms? Doesn't mention the platforms not supported.

Did you download test file which contained several of your existing products
so you could obtain template, with correct Esy Populate headers, to work with?

Did you download test file which contained several of your existing products so you could obtain template, with correct Esy Populate headers, to work with?

Here's the scenario:
I use ezpop to create the attributes txt file
I use OfficeOrg to open the txt file
I search the txt file for "options_id" to see if the attached id # in the header is the same as the option # for the data included in that column. They don't match.
I look at the Option Names in the Admin Panel and notice that certain Option Names have been deleted (by me). Well, those same Option Name Id #'s are the ones that are missing from the data in the downloaded attribute text file - as you would expect. HOWEVER, the column headers STILL INCLUDE THE DELETED OPTION NAMES AND VALUES!!!

I restored my zencart to a recent backup to realign the options but it wasn't enough. I can try restoring to a system backup that was done a few days earlier.

Is it "forbidden" to delete option names??? (no products associated but yes, there are some values.) Maybe I should have deleted the values first and then the Option Name to clear out the db better?

I price by attribute quite a bit so this is so frustrating!!! Any help would be enormously appreciated.

thanks,

Madelina said - You may also need to select "Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID" in the admin ->tools -> store manager ... and "Update ALL Products Price Sorter" doesn't hurt either.

Wow, I was hoping this would fix my attributes file with mismatched headers and data for deleted Option Names but to no avail.

KittieMD & Margecc:
EPA is supposed to support attributes, although I cannot personally verify this. Check langer's site. Attributes do not work in EP 1.2.5.4.

What??? Am I to understand that EP's Attribute file is garbage?

I couldn't get it to work either and after seeing the statement that you have quoted above,

EPA is supposed to support attributes, although I cannot personally verify this. Check langer's site. Attributes do not work in EP 1.2.5.4.

I gave up trying and used the database method, that did work

If you are having problems with products not showing then I would check to see that the category relations are correct, you can't add a product to a category that has sub categories, you have to add the product at the 'end of the line' so to speak.

Just installed this mod.I am getting the following errors when attempting to upload the EP (.txt) file and I get them both from browsing from my own computer as well as loading them from the temp file on the server. My temp folder chmod is set to 777. I am on an apache server.

Warning: file(/home/bidesign/public_html/youngslugs/webstore/temp/Full-EP2008May03-0707.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bidesign/public_html/youngslugs/webstore/admin/easypopulate.php on line 1201

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/bidesign/public_html/youngslugs/webstore/admin/easypopulate.php on line 1301


Line 1201 starts with -$readed=
// get the entire file into an array
$readed = file(DIR_FS_CATALOG . $tempdir . $file['name']);
}

Line 1301 starts with - foreach
// now we string the entire thing together in case there were carriage returns in the data
$newreaded = "";
foreach ($readed as $read){
$newreaded .= $read;
}

I downloaded the included template file from this mod and used its format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Is the temp folder in your webstore directory? I would check to see that all the folders and files are in the correct place, the error seems to suggest that it's calling for a file/folder that can't be found.

I am new to Zencart and i am coming from OSC. Not to sure if this is the right place to post this.

I am using cherry template and easy populate. I have 4 product descriptions.
Ex. v_products_description_1,v_products_description_2.

Fields are uploading; easypopulate is working great.

I can't seem to figure out how to display product descriptions 2 through 4.

I don't know which php file to go into to define v_products_description_2,3,4 and then how to display them.


I want them in the same box as description 1. Each product description underneath each other.

Hope this helps little more.
