Attributes do not work correctly in EP. Sorry. This has yet to be updates/fixed.

In the meantime you can use the Bulk Attribute Creator in the downloads section.
Worked for me, but I cannot get it to hide option values.
In other words, when I select an option name I would like it to display only values related to it.
This it does not do.

I successfully imported nearly 20,000 items into my database, and then updated about 3,000 of them to reflect sale pricing. Yay!

The problem I'm having though is I can't get any dates to import. Every product ends up being dated 12-31-1969.

I've repeated the whole process many times. Date formats have been:

2009-05-29 08:49:14
"2009-05-29 08:49:14"
2009-05-29 00:00:00
"2009-05-29 00:00:00"
2009-05-29
05-29-2009
"05-29-2009"

No luck on any of these. Easypopulate is configured to use m-d-y and 09:00:00 as the defaults.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Ah, my guess is that you have listed year/month/date/time - not month/day/year and time. (reversed)
Mine looks like this:
27-05-2009 4:32:17 PM

Try 05/29/2009

It works for me.

Please help, im new user of EP attempting to import products to zen cart, getting error when uploading to database with EP =

No model field in record. This line was not imported
No model field in record. This line was not imported
No model field in record. This line was not imported
No model field in record. This line was not imported
No model field in record. This line was not imported

The only documentation I can find on this is that all v_products_model need to be unique , but this is already the case..

also getting error when attempting to import larger files = Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20379 bytes) in ...\admin\easypopulate.php on line 1314

I found resolution for "No Model Field in record." I think the tab delimited file i was using corrupted or somethjing..

I followed the directions from some guy named Andy Paton on another forum:

Open Excel.
Go to import external data>import data- browse for your folder the EP downloaded>open>.
Then (Step 1)use the "delimited option">(Step 2)Make sure "TAB" is the only one selected(Step 3) Make sure "Column Data Format" needs to be set to "Text".
Then press finish and select "OK" on the following box that comes up. your data will now be in the spreadseet.

Use your spreadsheeet to populate your products. Make sure you set Qty to at least 1 as this will make it active. Enable the product as "active".
(Make sure that you save it as a CSV. then open it and select a save as a "Tab Delimeted" file which you can then upload. No need to upload the CSV file.Hope this helps

except i didn't save as CSV from excel , just saved as tab delimited. --


I'm still stuck on uploading larger files getting to import larger files = Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20379 bytes) in ...\admin\easypopulate.php on line 1314

I have downloaded the csv file for attributes in my test site.
It is huge and chaotic, and mostly useless.
I know I suggested the Bulk Attribute Creator, but this doesn't help much because although it can create all the attributes for a product at once, by holding down the Ctrl key and selecting, it does not associate anything with the attribute.
E.g. I have products with an average of 50 color attributes, some of these attributes are shared with many products, however I have to associate the image with the attribute every time.
It would be nice if the color attribute were inserted with the associated image, and other properties, in just one operation.
A binding would have to be created for the attribute and its properties.
This would speed up creation a lot.
Anybody know how to do this?

Hi All

How can I sort my products via the tab delimited file?
