Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Kristina]

Thanks - switching to version 1.2.5.4 worked like a charm.

...now I just have to get all my data in the right form, yikes!

I'm using microsoft excel to modify the file. But I've also tried it with Notepad and it didn't work there either

I have found that this can be caused if a product is deleted and was in a shopping cart or visa-versa, the user is deleted and he had items in his cart.

So a good place to start is in zen_customers_basket (or zen_customers_basket_attributes), hopefully you might see it there.

If not, try to remember what was deleted shortly before you saw the error pop up. If it was a category, try zen_product_to_categories, etc. It's kinda like playing Sherlock Holmes in the db!

Thank you! This was exactly my problem. I just truncated each of those tables and viola! no more annoying errors!

I just installed 1.2.5.4 and it seems like a really good program. I can downloads data fine, but I can only upload if I place file in temp folder manually and in the zen cart admin menu EP is calling itself "BOX_TOOLS_EASYPOPULATE". Have I mis-installed something, or is this normal. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm using Easy Populate and I am experiencing a strange problem when trying to use the 'Models/Attributes' part of the plugin.

I wait and end up with a Internal 500 server error.

I set the max time on the 'My Store > Admin Set max_execution_time for processes' to something very large (from 60 to 6000) but still no luck.

It doesn't work on either of the 'Stream txt file' or the 'Create txt in temp/ directory' settings.

The strange bit is I can use the 'Complete' txt part no problems.

Any ideas why only the Model/Attributes part is broken and not the complete database (its the attributes I want to download!)?

The store only has around 3-4000 items in it - is there a limit to what it will happily export? Or is the problem with the server (timeout length etc)?

Thanks,
dp

I am having this exact same problem and really need help sorting it out. I've contacted my host and they are just telling me that they are uncertain as to why this is happening. They aren't offering me a solution...yet.
Can somebody out there tell me what they think I should do to fix this?
Thanks (o:

tom50 Re-check your install, I think you have missed a .php file from the FTP.

bkeaton What version are you using ? (Money on, that you are not using v1.2.5.4)

touchclothing Read the Readme.txt file and run the uninstall http(this will remove the database configs for EP) and then remove all the EP 1.2.5.4 .php files as the install.

cdnbride What version are you using ? (Money on, that you are not using v1.2.5.4)

I'm using 1.3.8a

My cart says that I'm using the current version, should I be using something different?

I have just less than 5000 products, my hosting service has told me that they think this is happening because

"The max_execution_time we have set globally on our servers is 30 seconds."

"since there is so much data involved, it is taking the MySQL server longer to retrieve it all than is allowed by our timeout values. Since this is a shared server, there isn't any way to increase that value. The only way to increase that value would be for you to upgrade your account to a VPS or a dedicated server. Since you would be (from our point of view) the only customer on the server, we'd set it up however you wish."

Sorry I'm using Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 with Zencart 1.3.8a (that makes more sense)
