Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[prosam]

Scratch that. That did not work. I also had created some test products before importing again, that might be the answer. I have no idea. Back to the drawing board.

Well I believe I have figured it out, for me at least. A long with making sure that there's at least a Zero in the quantity column, I also had to make sure that in the v_tax_class_title column that Taxable Goods is capitalized. Those two things fixed allowed for the products to show after uploading. The weirdest thing, but it might just be case sensitive.

Again, this worked for me not sure if it will for all. If you find that after successfully uploading your txt file and your products are not showing, while the Categories are; go back and make sure that the above 2 things are all set.

Hi guys.

I have started using Easy Populate recently and it seems to be a great resource. However I am experiencing a couple of problems that I hope you can help me with:

1) I am uploading about 250 items from at Tab Delimited file, and they all upload apart from 3 of them. On these items it says "no category selected for this product," so they will not upload. I have double checked the categories for these items and they have definately been correctly selected. Why are they being skipped?

Hate to cut in on all, and wish I could help some, but not that wise yet, sorry....

My question I have.... please look at my site

If you go to the toolbar , and drop down the categories, it doesnt show everything, I have wayyy to many categories. I was wondering if i scroll down the categories that they could all be seen somehow..

Thanks a lot...

jgg1974: You should post your question over in the Apple_Zen forum. Jade is quite helpful. There has been discussion on this topic, but it was well over a year ago. Really, you may need to think about how to organize you products in such a manner that works with the hover menu. There is no real good answer.

If you use Quantity Price Discounts (or Price Breaks based on purchased Quantity) on your store, I have a working solution using EP to download, upload and update price breaks. Yes, this did require me to code it and create a new file type: Model/Price/Breaks "PriceBreaks-...".

Langer never got around to adding this, nor was it ever in EP-advanced last we spoke well over a year ago. It seems he's dropped off the map... I hope he's well.

I think a few people may have done their own coding to achieve this but to my knowledge no one has posted their work. I had intended to do this myself a long time ago, but you know how it is! The other issue is when you upload an update to something like EP you sort of take it on and that can be chore in itself!

It turns out this was not really that complicated, at least not for my needs. Took about two work days to figure out. I've tested this with data from our catalog: about 3500 product with a mix of no price breaks and items that break on up to three quantities. I have not tested the other breaking scheme (like percentage). These will have different quantity_price_discount codes.

A couple things to keep in mind: This is ALPHA code at best! The attached easypopulate.zip ONLY contains the easypopulate.php file. I have made numerous modifications (and deletions) to this file to suit my needs so please only use this for a reference on how to do your own quantity breaks. Some things are rather 'hard-coded' and not pretty.

SERIOUSLY! EP code is a mess to start with and a big bloated mess at that! No wonder no one has done a full rewrite!

To my knowledge the "froogle" stuff is dead. Also, the whole Attributes feature never worked properly either (please correct me if I'm wrong on that!).

Oh, I have not come up with a solution to remove unused breaks... meaning if you uploaded a product that had 4 price breaks, and then later change to 3 price breaks, you will have to set the 4th price break to 0 so it don't show (or go into the file via phpMyAdmin and delete it).

This is really for people with at least some coding experience, knowledge of MySQL and using phpMyAdmin. BACK UP YOUR STORE if you play with the code, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK yada yada yada not-so-legal disclaimer verbage. I will not be held responsible for you killing your store!
