Kim,
See if you can unzip this file. Notice the EOREOR at the end of the file.

Ignore the top half.. It was for a .csv file.

Easy Populate requires a unique model number (product code or SKU) in the v_products_model fields.

Hi Elkbow,

Thanks for responding. I do have EOREOR at the end of each line.

Here are what my files look like.

My excel file:
v_products_model v_products_name_1 v_products_price v_products_weight v_products_quantity v_manufacturers_name v_categories_name_1 v_categories_name_2 v_tax_class_title v_status EOREOR
796038779857 Address Book-Too Blessed To Be Stressed 9.00 0.3 14 test 11 UPLOAD BOOKS Taxable Goods 1 EOREOR

My txt file:

v_products_model v_products_name_1 v_products_price v_products_weight v_products_quantity v_manufacturers_name v_categories_name_1 v_categories_name_2 v_tax_class_title v_status EOREOR
796038779857 Address Book-Too Blessed To Be Stressed 9.00 0.3 14 test 11 UPLOAD BOOKS Taxable Goods 1 EOREOR

I have top categoryas 11 UPLOAD and next is BOOKS. I also made manufacturer as test. There are no products loaded in these files.

My model number is unique. It is 7960387798.

I've checked my config file and it's set to the root directory where my zencart lives and the temp directory is located. The Config/Admin/EP has temp/ for the upload files.

I checked all EP permissions (files and directories) -- they are now at 755; most were already... though a few files were 644.

Still no-go on the download complete attempt. I installed the Debug Log Add in but I'm not getting a log in my cache directory (I installed it into my Admin directory) -- where else to look??

thanks.

Actually, easypopulate need the temp folder to be permissions 777

ya, I know this isn't very safe! but try that. if it works, then make a new cryptic temp directory hackers want easily find.

oh, most if not all files will be 644 (thought your custom zen pages are different), and normally the directories are 755, but the temp folder for ep needs to be 777.

kim,

EP (not the CSV version) needs EOREOR at the end of EVERY line including the header. Also, NO data can be in any column beyond that. Be sure to hilight column after the EOREOR column and delete them to ensure you don't have an empty cell there.

I'm using EP to upload thousands of products and have run across a big problem. The product names and descriptions are not wrapping and instead overlapping other products, or pushing my right sidebox out. If I re-type a product name manually, it wraps onto a new line just fine. Any way to solve this problem with EP?

could you post or pm your site and a couple lines of your sample data. I'm thinking this is a template CSS issue if the lines are not wrapping within their containing <div>

I've actually verified that it is EP and nothing else doing it. If I enter the product names/descriptions in manually, I have no problem. It's just when it's loaded with EP. We had to sit and add "<br />" in the product names where it should have been wrapping itself in EP to get it to go on a second line, which solves the problem for now, but is not a very efficient way of solving the problem for future use.

The site is HERE. It's an adult site so be warned. You will see now that everything looks alright, but it's because we sat and inserted line breaks on everything.

I took a look, but would need to see what your data is like when you upload it. If you are talking about the * bulleted points, you can use an unordered list like:

<ul><li>
<li>
<li>
</ul>

That will put each part on a separate line. Also, there is some notes in the easypopulate.php code about how to handle carriage returns and replacing them with <br> breaks. But I haven't fiddles with that. The build in editor will respect line breaks, but this is different than inputing a stream of text as the editor handles it for you.
