The Model Number (SKU, Part Number, UPN ... whatever you call it) should live and die with the product to which it is associated.

When a product is discontinued, so is the SKU.

As EasyPop's primary definer for a product is the Model Number, it is important to keep these UNIQUE to a product, and not to re-use (or re-allocate) the Model Number when you stop making/selling that product.

Hi

I have installed Easy populate on Zencart v1.3.8.

Easy populate 1.2.5.7b.

I have installed it but under Tool-Easy Populate

I get this

1.2.5.7 is not reliable... I use 1.2.5.4

[fishingmaniac]

Just uploaded 710 items: Thank you! Great/awesome app!

It would be nice if it would give me a filter to allow me to show (and a file-save option!) only the skipped lines for future verification/troubleshooting. Pencil and paper ana gonna work well with so many products

[Lost and Confused]

Thank you....after hours of pulling my hair out. This post direction was straight forward and to the point allowing me to upload easy populate. The original instructions skipped vital details which was important for non techno people.

Thanks!

When you unzip the EP module (1.2.5.4) you will see:

admin (a folder)
temp (a folder)
install.txt (a file)
install.sql (a file)
history.txt (a file)
license.txt (a file)
readme.txt (a file)

Open your FTP program and in the left frame (local machine) navigate to the place where you have the unzipped EP module (see above).

Link to your server in the right frame, and navigate to the directory level where your ZC installation sits... so in the right frame (server) you will see - amongst others perhaps):
admin (a folder)
cache (a folder)
docs (a folder)
download (a folder)
editors (a folder)
email (a folder)
extras (a folder)
images (a folder)
includes (a folder)
media (a folder)
pub (a folder)
(and a whole lot of files)

Highlight admin (folder) and temp (folder) in the left frame and click the FTP arrow that ports it to the right frame.

There is NO NEED to FTP any of the EP FILES - just the admin and temp FOLDERS.

The reference to changing the name of the admin folder in the EP mod refers to the recommended protocol or re-naming your server admin folder. Renaming the admin folder is a separate issue and relates to security issues - it is well documented in other areas of the forum. If you have NOT renamed your server admin folder then there is no need to change the EP admin folder name.

Let's assume that (at some earlier point) you have done the server admin folder re-name, and it is now called adminabcde

Then, in the EP module, you just rename THAT admin folder to adminabcde as well (so the two folder names MATCH).

This is to make sure that when you click that arrow in your FTP program, the contents of the folders go to the correct locations...

---------------------------------------------------

Anyway... once the FTP of admin and temp is complete, open your webshop admin console and go to tools>>> Easy Populate. Follow the INSTALL procedure given on this screen

Then go to configuration>>>Easy Populate.

(Follow my WIKI instructions from this point).

1.2.5.7 is not reliable... I use 1.2.5.4

Problem is that 1.2.5.4 does not support metatags, so you still end up having to go through 100's of products and updating them..

I'm trialling 1.2.5.8, it still gives that garbage on the admin page, but it is uploading correctly, and inserting metas etc.. Have tried it on 10, 50 and 100 products and all good.

Now if only the code could get cleaned up to tidy up the admin page...
