Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

USE LANGER's version 1.2.5.4 (from Modhole) good and stable with one or two known bugs which you can live with (Search this thread) that don't give you any headaches.

You'll need to increase the memory in your public_html/php.ini file.

If you do not have a public_html/php.ini file, you should be able to create a new php.ini by going to the cPanel in your web hosting account -- PHP Config -- Install master php.ini. Then rename php.ini.default in public_html to php.ini (you can use cPanel -- File Manager).

Once you have a public_html/php.ini file, you can edit it. Find and update the memory_limit (usually 64M is sufficient, although up to 128M will work).

This worked well for me.

I need help....

When I try to download my complete .csv from the admin I get the error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in /XXXXXXX/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 38

Everything else can download fine.

Any Solutions?

Hi - hoping this thread may have a simple answer to this... Have installed EP and nothing updates. This is probably because I'm on a Mac. Install says "If you have an Apple/MAC, then uncomment the line in the "configuration variables" section in the easypopulate.php
file that is in the admin folder." WHICH LINE?

I think you are looking at the CSV version 1.2.5.5 rather than version 1.2.5.4. See above notes about using version 1.2.5.4...
It is more stable.

Sir Henry First of all, make sure you have a product in your ZC manually as EP will not update ZC, secondly there seems to be issues with MAC's and .txt /.csv (tab) files, see below from an earlier post.

touchclothing What version of EP are you using ? I don't use a MAC so not the best to advise, but i am sure i have read it some where in this forum that MAC file formats cause problems with EP and tab separated files, hence the
Quote:uncomment the line in the "configuration variables"

OK Found this:

I have just purchased an Macbook, and installed Microsoft Office so that I would be able to use Easy Populate with Zen Cart. Everything works okay except for one issue.

My issue is that when I download and update the .csv file and try to import it back to Zen Cart it is not properly updated. The new information that I have entered and saved on the .cvs file is not imported into Zen Cart. When I save the file to be imported I save it as a .csv file. I get a message that the import was successful but I don't receive any messages about the site being updated like I do on my PC.

Am I missing something here? I know I can't be the only one using an Apple to run Easy Populate. Any help would be appreciated. Hopefully I have given you enough information to help me, if not let me know.

Since I have a programmer's editor (the excellent BBEdit, see barebones.com) it was easy and quick to open the file in my editor, save it again and then upload it. I never trust MS products to do things simply, so I wouldn't expect the Excel file to be a plain text file. There'll be some junk in it somewhere, I'm sure.

and like elkbow says use 'version 1.2.5.4...'

Help!

I am using EP 1.2.5.4. And when i was trying to upload my data at first, it would just put the CSV file in the temp file and that was it, nothing else.

From reading the forums I saw that a Tab Delineated file was the best approach.

So i did that and it came back with all the lines I uploaded and some lines it updated......Great progress. Then when i go to my catalog the items don't show ?????? What gives, I am new to this so please help. Thanks.

Eureka!!!! My frustration blinded me! I had blank data that diffed from the items i was updating. So EP ignored the new data. Sorry for my haste.

Thanks anyway.......

I downgraded from EP 1.2.5.5 to EP 1.2.5.4 as you recommended in order to try to get this to work.

So it turns out I don't need to add a new field. There's already one there.

v_products_url_1

This column is in the Complete file download, but it's empty for every row. Why is that? For any feed out there, I need to be able to give the product url.

[Sir Henry]

Hi - thanks all for your posts. Will try a few suggestions off-line first. Any ideas how to uninstall EP so the downgrade will be as clean as possible? FYI had a brief flirtation with CRE Loaded (slicker than ZC, but very poor features compared to Zen) and EP worked fine with that - even with a Mac and MS Excel!

v_products_url_1 = the url of the supplier NOT THE PRODUCT

You will need to add the 'product_id' field to the EP Complete.txt download.

Or use Google Feeder and convert XML to CSV gooogled :- command line program XML2CSV open source...
