Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[chris21]

I made the temp folder 777 and the folders all seem to be where my store is.
I have to change the admin folder name as there is an admin folder already where I have uploaded EP.

Apart from what you have suggested nothing has changed, still no Easy Populate in the admin> tools> dropdown list.

So I still need a little help
Thanks for helping.
Chris.

I'm confused by all this discussion on EP.
All I want is a way to populate the store with products created in a database. Don't need options, specials, discounts, etc. What version do I need and where is the download? I really did try to follow the discourse, but over 200 pages is a bit overwhelming.

Tiz, Chris & Delights:

You can download 1.2.5.4 from (IGNORE THE OTHER VERSION AS IT'S VERY BUGGY):

http://www.modhole.com/modhole/index..._Document_id=2

For Instructions on how to use EP Free (standard) I HIGHLY recommend SchoolBoy's wiki entry here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Easy_Populate

If you were able to install your zencart store correctly, you should be able to understand the basic instructions in the zip file on how to proceed.

All the ep files go INTO the ADMIN folder following the file structure there. Example:

www.example.com ---> your domain name

www.example.com/store ----> this is where you installed your "store" but note that you may have also installed it in the root...

www.example.com/store/admin ----> this is where you go when you log in to your stores control panel

so, for easypopulate.php ... it goes here:

www.example.com/store/admin/easypopulate.php

Then all the includes folder files go here ...

www.example.com/store/admin/includes/ ... (to many to list, but you should get the idea)

A good ftp client will upload your "admin" directory off your local machine and update the remote site adding your new files and folders automatically.

After loading all your files, you would go to your store's admin page and under Tools > Install SQL Patches and PASTE the code from install_sql (just open it with notepad hi-light it all and copy it) don't upload the file as this doesn't always work correctly.

I hope this helps get you guys off on the right foot... 1.2.5.4 works fine for the basics, but I'm pretty sure ATTRIBUTES don't work...

Schoolboy, you still around? Can you verify this?

Good Luck!

I would suggest re-downloading and uploading the new files again, it must be a file upload error.

Thanks for those links. I had downloaded the newest EP from the Add Ons section and worked through the old osc guides to add ep to my menu basically got everything right and was still having some screwed up issues I worked on it for probably 3 hours + not writing to the db. I downloaded the old file from your link and had it working in 5 minutes with new products.

Did anybody notice that Chris21 changed his admin folder name to his ZenCart Version Name.---

Hiya Elkbow!

Yes, I did notice but I hoped my explanation would cover it!

Did you take a look at the quantity discounts (a page or two back) download/upload I figured out?

Need help,

Just installed, everything seemed fine then got this:

Upload Results

File uploaded.
Temporary filename: /tmp/phpFTGBrd
User filename: fulllist-07-11-08.XLS
Size: 4468736

Upload Complete



Seemed ok, but on the store i have no catergories, items....or anything just a plain install.

What did i o wrong? I installed everything correctly then uploaded my excel doc.

Thanks

cj,
I downloaded that Q discounts and looks pretty simple. And that post # 2035 above should give the EP users what they are looking for. I run about 5 stores and only use attributes on one since they do not work in EP, so I just list the 6000+ items by EP.

Chris21 should remove all EP he has and upload again - no changing of admin name.
