Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Jeff G]

golden,

The phrase "primary index" does not appear to be in any standard code or EP code. Are you using EP advanced? That has a different code base and support is through the authors site as most users here are using the free version.

It's not an EP issue.

You need to go into phpmyadmin (or something similar on your server) and modify the structure of the products table. The field products_image is currently set to only allow 64 characters.

The actual procedure varies by host.

thanks! I found it (I think).
I can change the length of this entry in the database. Is there some danger involved or can I simply do so?

And thanks for helping me (and others) out so much!

[Jeff G]

I believe you can just change it. I read some other post to do the same thing.

Hi, will this work in zen 1.38a? I see the threads go back as far as 2005 so just wondering?
Just tried to download it and the link no longer works?
Thanx guys

[Jeff G]

It does work with 1.38. You can find it in the downloads section.

Greetings, well I am trying to delete some stuff that I uploaded to my catalog. I deleted the products, admin, catalog, Categories/Products... When I go to the Site itself, the category is gone, but the products are sttil there?

Can anyone help me with getting rid of all the products I don't want there.. I tried deleting the database via the control panel, but that erased my site before..

Any help would be appreciated.

EP has no option for anything other than general type = 1

You have at least 3 choices here.
1. Add a products_type column in your file and mod EP to update or insert the new column as required.
2. If ALL your products are music you could use the Tools/Install SQL patches and enter

UPDATE products SET products_type = 2; 

after each EP upload.
3. I noticed that products_type has a default of 1. Using myPHP admin, change the default for products_type to 2.

As always, TEST TEST TEST!!!

Thanks Jeff! I really appreciate you giving all the feedback that you do give as i know it takes time but your input is really great so thank you!
I dont really know much about coding unfortunately :-( and yes, all my products are music products, how would i tweak EP to include feilds for record company and music genre?

i also "i think" set the product type to equal 2 but it didnt work i think i did something wrong :-( is this what i was supposed to do?

[Jeff G]

You got it wrong. Change that back.

products_type is a field in zen_products table

Thanks Jeff, i fixed it!
but now after i upload the products i get the below error when i click on the product to edit

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/woh/public_html/zen/admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 29

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/woh/public_html/zen/admin/includes/classes/object_info.php on line 30



This is what is on line 29 and 30 in that file

reset($object_array);
while (list($key, $value) = each($object_array))

would you please let me know what is causing this?
