Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[w2e]

actually, upload is not the problem. As a matter of fact, you can import/upload just a few columns. The problem is on export.

How do you, for example, export just some selected categories?

Hello All,

All product information and category information is in the same tab delimated text file.

Can anyone tell me how to import Product Categories in multiple languages (french , spanish) ?

Hello,

I have a site in 3 languages, Easy populate is working great, except that it only makes new catagories in the default language, and in the other languages it moves the category box or coolmenu box. The default language is english, when you look in french the category box has moved, and that not all the categories are there.

So what i think there has to be done is to add a few lines for the categories from other languages in Easy populate.

But i realy don't know how to do that

Can somebody please help me

Regards,
Pankaj

MattS : Did you try saving to the Temp folder on your server ? and or ftp your file to the Temp folder and importing from there ?

I can't import from anywhere, I can't export anything, but I can split some files. But the splitting eventually crashes.

I changed limits on php files. Does anyone else use Startlogic as a host?

This is taring me up.

Could someone please tell me if easy populate automatically adds the neccesary index and pages in the catagory box of your site as long as everything is configured correctly in the files.

IE, we have all files correctly named with the correct headings., then all we need to do is import the files for the pages to be created.

I was going to import manually but it would probably take me 2 weeks 10 hours a day and figured it would be quicker and easier to take a few days learning easy populate, I am reading the Wiki also.

Thanks, Spot.

Its pretty easy, Once you are in the EP area under tools, click on the download links. This will download a txt file into your temp folder. Get that file and open it in Excel and fill in the blanks. Then upload. You will have to upload the pictures manually, EP doesn't mess with picture files, it will just point them out. If your excel file gets pretty big then use the split function. It will take your large file and split it to a bunch of smaller files (default 300 items) that will be put in your temp folder. You will still need to insert these files one by one.

Clear as mud, right.

For you folks that are using EP with a ton of items (30,000 plus). What service provider are you using for your store. I am narrowing my problems with my EP and slow store to my host. I may be looking to move my store and starting from scratch.

Thanks for a fast reply. This might sound stupid but how do I open the file in excel, as when i download a file it goes striaght to the temp folder within zencart on my server. Thanks

Move the file on to your computer. To open the txt file in excel, right click on it and select "open with", then select excel.
