Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[nagelkruid]

In the main easypopulate.php file in the configuration options, if you change the deliminator to "\t" (tab) and the encapsulate to " " space, then it will be just like it was, without the EOREOR.
If you need to remove linefeeds in boxes, it does that for the froogle options. It takes a line of code that can be added to the other options.

The main reason it's not compatible is because I added the columns on the end for the meta data. If you import an old file, the meta data won't be there, and if you have some already, it will be overwritten with NULL.

Thank you for explaining that.
Don't get me wrong, i REALLY want to switch to the CSV option as it is allready much better for its original use; exporting/importing products Especially with the metatags incorporated.

I'll just have to find the easy way to keep that froogle output as i want it but with the above info and a few if (ep_dltype=froogle) i am probably good to go with the csv one.

cheers,
Jeroen

I'm wondering if someone know which version of Easy Populate to use (and a link to download it) with the 1.3.7 version of Zen Cart that I use and don't want to update by fear to screw everything up..

Thanks a lot

I installed EP and was wondering if anybody has figured out how to automate the enabling of "call for pricing" when using EP. Or better yet, if v_products_price = 0 then "call for pricing". I am using Zencart version 1.3.8. I have about 20,000 products to upload, with $0 price (since our business is based on request for quote). It would take years to input that data by hand. I'd greatly appreciate any help.

i've installed easy populate and it exported the inventory correctly once into the tempEP directory. however anything i try to do now it just logs me back out into the admin page for zencart. anyone know why it might be doing this?

thanks

Easy Populate just quit working. I'm using 1.2.5.4 and haven't made any changes to my site since it last worked.

When I enter the file name into the "Import from temp directory" field box (the file is indeed in the temp directory and I've used copy so spelling is not an issue) I get a page returned from IE saying this page cannot be displayed (like a 404 I think)

I was able to download the "Complete" file so the module is working in that aspect.

I checked with hosting provider (Website Source) and they say everything is okay on the dbase side.

Any ideas on where to look for problem?

thx

I looked thru forum trying to find if my issue has already been posted. I did not see anything, please forgive me if I missed. I am using zencart v 1.3.8.

I started with small file of 5 records. And getting this error.

Warning: explode() [function.explode]: Empty delimiter in /home/xxxx/xxxx/admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/easypopulate_functions.php on line 241

When I go to line 241...I see this code.
$date_bits = explode($separator, $excel_date[1]);

Not sure what it means. I do not have any dates listed on my .txt file.

After looking at the code for the Call_For_Price on/off toggle, it shows:

<tr>
<td class="main">Product is Free:</td>
<td class="main"><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="24" height="15">&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="product_is_free" value="1">&nbsp;Yes&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="product_is_free" value="0" CHECKED>&nbsp;No </td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td class="main">Product is Call for Price:</td>
<td class="main"><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="24" height="15">&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="product_is_call" value="1" CHECKED>&nbsp;Yes&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="product_is_call" value="0">&nbsp;No <span class="errorText">*Product is marked as CALL FOR PRICE</span></td>
</tr>

<tr>

<td class="main">Product Priced by Attributes:</td>
<td class="main"><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="24" height="15">&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="products_priced_by_attribute" value="1">&nbsp;Yes&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="radio" name="products_priced_by_attribute" value="0" CHECKED>&nbsp;No </td>
</tr>


So, if a toggle is set to "no", after value="0" shows CHECKED>&nbsp;No </td>
If a toggle is set to "yes", after value="0" shows >&nbsp;No <span class="errorText">*Product is marked as CALL FOR PRICE</span></td>

Again, I am looking for a way that I can import my products using EP, but not have to go back into Admin, manually edit each product, and set the toggle to Call For Price = "yes".

Silver Falls,

I've sent you a PM. My own custom version does this already and I can send it to you after a mod or two. I've added a couple custom columns to the products database and will have to remove those entries first.

Kburner,
Had the same thing happen. See if this helps. Carefully read each box in your upload sheet. Mine was from the wrong cartecters were there. I was converting a .csv file to a .txt file and things like the small square box and a question mark and a \ line stopped the loading of that particular product. Once the format was correct (product description) all was fine.

It produced the same warning you had.
