Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[keylesslocks]

ok, EP definitely made a linked product for each product, this item is only just 1, now it has 1 and a linked product:

diving deeper I thought it was duplicating everything, but now I see only some and don't know why, see this

[elkbow]

ok, some things are updated and some are not, I am really confused....

in the upload results it says:

UPDATED! - Model: Washer Timer Knob 3364290 | 3364290.jp | Whirlpool | Whirlpool | | | | | 14.95 | 0.25 | | 2/19/2008 | 999 | Whirlpool | Washing Ma | Whirlpool | Whirlpool | | | | | Taxable Go | 1 |

UPDATED! - Model: Washer Timer Knob 3364290 | 3364290.jp | Roper Wash | Roper Wash | | | | | 14.95 | 0.25 | | 2/19/2008 | 1000 | Roper | Washing Ma | Roper Wash | Roper Wash | | | | | Taxable Go | 1 |

UPDATED! - Model: Washer Timer Knob 3364290 | 3364290.jp | KitchenAid | KitchenAid | | | | | 14.95 | 0.25 | | 2/19/2008 | 1000 | KitchenAid | Washing Ma | Kitchen Ai | KitchenAid | | | | | Taxable Go | 1 |

UPDATED! - Model: Washer Timer Knob 3364290 | 3364290.jp | Kenmore Wa | Kenmore Wa | | | | | 14.95 | 0.25 | | 2/19/2008 | 999 | Kenmore | Washing Ma | Kenmore Wa | Kenmore Wa | | | | | Taxable Go | 1 |

but when I check the 3364290 on the site, only 1, the kenmore, is coming up with the weight .25 the other 2 are coming up 1 pound... but the updated results says they all should be .25

The first thing I see is the Unique Model Number is the same for all of the items shown above. try changing the 3364290 to
3364290A, 3364290B, 3364290C. Since you have different named sub categories and the same model number is the linked problem.

I was reading these posts because I am trying to figure out Easy Populate as well, but when I went to your site http://lockdownsurveillance.com/ I saw something else I would like to know how to do. When you rollover your mouse on an image it brings up a larger image. How is it done?

Newbie here.

hmmm....

2 questions:

1. a lot of my UMN are maxed out the characters from ZC admin when I added them, if I go over the amount limited will it be ok?

2. I have 3000 items... how can I find all the ones that are duplicated? shouldn't it be replacing by some kind of unique number other than the model number?

Sorry for bumping, but I really need some help with this problem!!

Well I did another upload and the outcome is as below.

1. I opened a recently downloaded complete tab delimited file into MO excel which automatically opened up the text import wizard. I changed the "file origin" to Unicode (UTF-8) (not sure what the file origin should be). Then I just clicked next, then next again then finish. I left the the "column data format" as general.
2. I then keyed in 1 new product being very careful as to category names and so on
3. I then deleted all other products from the file to leave only the new product that I was importing.
4. I then saved the file as a new txt file.
5. I went into easy populate and proceeded to upload the newly named file containing only one product.
6. Upload results are as shown in below screenshot

Product shows up in admin however, if I try to edit it by clicking on admin>categories> product edit symbol or clicking on the product name, it takes me to google.com.au (very weird) same thing applies, if I click on all other symbols except for attribute and image handler symbols.

In regard to the actual store front, I can see the product in the product listing http://www.heavenlynightslingerie.co...1&keyword=7786 but when you click on the product it takes you to the page not found where the sitemap is showing.

So! not sure what to make of all of this, especially the google thing

One other thing, in the admin >tools>easy populate page there appears to be indicate that there are 5 partially deleted products somewhere in the database.. i click on the link to delete them, but it fails every single time.



Could this have anything to do with my problems.

Any help would be much appreciated

TIA

Thanks

can I just increase the max characters for this field:

Products Model

so then when I import the EP file again,. I don't have to worry about the field being too big

Hi

well I have a problem OO Calc won't let me import the file I have completely, it will cut off some columns. Even tried uniCSVed and CSVed, no luck either.

I got to add 100 products but all have different attributes, e.g. a bra that has different sizes.

My client does not want to go through editing tons of lines over and over again. What would be the fastest way to add attributes to a product relatively quickly?

Does EP advanced have a GUI? That would be a feature.. you just select the attributes that are already stored into zencart and you can mass-add it to any product. That system would be fool-proof ;)

Thanks for your help and suggestions :)

Hmm I just realized that I can copy attributes via zencart

But if I just want to add 3 attributes and the others should be "default" attributes what would I have to do ?
