[myplace311]

I am using the current version of ZC

So when i update the quantity and upload the sheet the quantity does not change. based on the message i am getting the file is processed with no errors.

I also notice that i am not seeing any form of ID column is that what could be causing this?

I have tried to install and use EP but I keep getting this error
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 96468992 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 590 bytes) in /chroot/home/musicski/music-skins.com/html/store/admin/easypopulate.php on line 847
I have change the memory to 92mb and that is still not enough my whole shop size is about 3gigs we have a lot of products how can I fix this?

ckosloff Mybe the porter of the EP 1.2.5.5 csv2 version may be able to tell you, but I would have thought you would have needed some of the admin settings, temp folder,date format etc.

touchclothing If you are using just one product table and the multisite has not altered that table then there should be no problem, best way check with the author/thread of that mod.

myplace311 What version are you using ? You would need a 'model column' in the upload file for any version of EP to work.

lucianman As you are using a custom field in the database product table you would need to add a custom column in the EP file search this thread for notes how to do this.

touchclothing php has a really small memory, you have increased the memory by default but your database is sooooo big it still is not enough, are you tring to save to temp folder and ftp from the server, not direct download.

Yo man is multitasker.
Seriously, I never needed the DB patch.
As far as contacting the last porter (phazei), hmmm...he stated himself he is not very active with ZC any more.

I am just trying to download to my desktop. But when I try to run the install it http://www.music-skins.com/store/adm...langer=install
I get the same error

what do I need to set the memory size to

Does this contribution you can delete or move multiple items at the same time. Because I have about 70 items in the Specials and I want to remove them all at the sametime. Can someone able to help me?

[Noneya99]

BK... if you want to remove them as in DELETE the items from your product list you can put in the "status" field 9 and it will delete the item from the store .. however be careful even if you delete all items from a category the catgeroy is still listed and not deleted you will have to manually go in and delete the category.

Hope this helps

I don't want to let the items out of the store. I have items listed in the Specials list and there are about 70 items in the Specials list I have delete them individually and its taking my time. Is there another way to this?

Try this :

Open your php.ini file and look for this section. You can usually bump these up, but many hosts will over ride your values if you go too high:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 90 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 90 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (10MB)

If this doesn't help, then something on the hosting side is really restricting your scripts. In shared hosting environments you are really at the mercy of the hosting provider's imposed restrictions, and the other 100's (if not 1000's !?!?!?!) of sites you are sharing your box with.

It may be time to change providers or to consider a VPS... wiredtree and knownhost both have good affordable packages (about 40/month) and superior tech support.

Hope this helps.

Oh, just a note: Once you upload your php.ini file, run a script with phpinfo() in it to make sure it accepted the changes. Some hosts cache the php.ini file and it can take "time" to update your changes.

Good Luck!

If langer install does not work for you, import the SQL patch in the folder to manually install via zencart sql patch insertor.
Have you deleted all your old EP files ? and any SQL patch inserts as this could cause you problems ? as these alternative versions do work a little differently.

Also with your products table being so big save to the /temp folder and ftp the file to your deasktop.

ckosloff Hmmm... It looks a really good port but does have some issues from want people are asking on this thread, if it works without the SQL patch than you prossibly don't need it but I haven't really used this version only had a quick look at it.
If you look at the history of EP there are several version ep_v2_75_zen-cart_1_2, 1.2.5.4, 1.2.5.5, 1.2.5.5.csv.2,2.77H, even EPA.
They all have bugs in them still, but the most stable and proven is 1.2.5.4, but all these version are not being maintained by any of the orginal authors/porters (exp. EPA !) thus as you see by this thread the same questions are asked again and again.
