Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

**simpled** · 28 Nov 2008, 03:55 PM

Fixed my own problem by making sure each product has a model number (needed by easypopulate).
Thanks to a forum member for his help.

My host told me it's consuming a lot and need to decrease it.

Thanks for any info. :)

...just an update, my host told me this is not the limit set on the php.ini files, but it is invoking a process on the server which is using 80MB of memory once the easypopulate.php page is accessed.

This was the result of uploading a file with a size of 6MB, is this normal? I didn't think easypopulate should used that much resources.

I use up to date version of Easy Populate & Zen Cart.
Manipulation with EP is OK till I delete column "v_products_description_2" - in this case import goes OK, BUT in ZC disappear everything in column "v_products_description_2", or (when admin/EP "Advanced Smart Tags" is set to True) there is just "<p></p>". What is wrong?

I thought that before import I can delete all columns I do not need except columns "v_products_model", "v_status" and "EOREOR".

I searched forums, wiki EP and sources, but no solution founded.

I am almost sure that month ago it was OK. So may be I changed something, but EP PHP files are same as those source files.

1. What's the smart tag feature for?

3. Any user guide about how to use the attribute tag? The user guide in zencart wiki doesn't mention this.

1. Smart Tags: This appears to be used for doing string substitution at upload. You don't need this as you can use inline html in the descriptions and zencart will render them fine. I think this was meant provide smart substitution of text ->>> to ->>> <html>text</html> At least that is what is looks like.

2. Multiple Images: you only need supply the base image for zencart. EP does not UPLOAD images, only set the image's name and path. I don't remember off the top of my head, but if your base images is "image.jpg" your added images are "image_01.jpg" "image_02.jpg" etc. Check the FAQ on this.

3. Attributed DO NOT work. Don't waste your time. That's why it's been left out of the wiki entry.

I added Easy Populate files and sql update and would like to back out changes. I backed up files so that part's easy. How do you undo sql update?

Sorry - been away for a bit. Yes, I did try to do this but I get a 505 error each time. I'm assuming it's just really too big. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The message tells the problem. The file must have the category column and every product must have a category name.
