Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Brandburnmedia]

Alright I'm assuming this isn't first time asked:

I got Easypopulate installed and everything, I downloaded spreadsheet to use as template, did an entire catagory via excel, saved, uploaded to tempEP directory, imported to DB via Easypopulate.

But never showed up in my category or cart in general.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I don't use model field that's why that comes up so often

Easy Populate will NOT work unless EVERY PRODUCT has
UNIQUE model number.

There was no model number in spreadsheet when I edited it...did I just overlook it or did I download wrong?

Oh never mind misty sorry I was dumb there lol.

Just cataloged 500 items and it worked

Thanks

How do I uninstall EP?

I've got something corrupt, and I need to start over.

I'm imagining that there is a DB entry that needs to be removed... but I don't see an uninstall script.

I think I had 2 different versions of EP running... trying to get the latest 1.2.5.5.csv to work...

thanks

Never mind... I was able to get it uninstalled... and for the record, I went back to Langers 1.2.5.4 ....


What did I do?

removed all reference in configuration_groups and configuration to "Easy Populate" removed all easypopulate*.php files in admin/ and reinstalled per 1.2.5.4 instructions.

I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am trying to upload about 24,000 inventory items. EP was originally giving me errors, but I quickly fixed that with a fresh install of EP. I guess I did something wrong to in the initial installation.

Now, under my Upload Results, I am getting the green NEW PRODUCT! - Model: 123456 (and so on)

However, when I go to Admin / Categories , it says "25,483 of 28608 Active" next to the Inventory Category (that is the category I directed the upload to). However, when I click on the category...nothing. Through the website, none of the part numbers are coming up in the search, either. Can anyone tell me what went wrong?

[Silver Falls]

I forgot to give the website

www.elcomstore.com

The Inventory category is the first. It shows the 25,483 items next to it. But when you click it, you only get 3 pages of linked product. That was product numbers that were already in other categories. I am working to get all unique numbers, or drop the linked numbers from their original categories (so they end up in the Inventory category as unlinked).

-= Importing with some columns deleted =-

I thought that when I import previously exported and then edited file, where I deleted some columns (but NOT v_products_model neither EOREOR), everything will go fine. But it did not.

I noticed, that when I delete JUST the column named v_products_description_2 (I use just one language, added after installation, english then deleted), import makes all values in this description column BLANK. They are gone.
BUT: When I delete v_products_name_2 column TOO, everything goes OK, nothing (as I hope) deleted.

Does anybody know WHY? Or how to repair it?

Thanks for any suggestions.
