Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[asimms1]

Well I killed EZ Populate. I manually deleted the product from my store using PHPmyadmin and now it states I have 6 partially undeleted products. The click here to fix button doesn't fix it, and I can no longer upload my TSV. Sometimes it gives me a blank screen and is just done and sometimes it gives me 'Warning: explode(): Empty delimiter. in /home/content/s/o/o/sooter5ipper/html/admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/easypopulate_functions.php on line 241'

Anybody out there go through this already. I read relative posts but none seem to have the answer.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Suggestions....and help...

1.) Someone PLEASE fix the EP code so that if a product Manufacturer is set to '-none-' that the field will stay 'null' instead of picking the Manufacturer next in line...

2.) I am having an issue with EP NOT displaying ANY category names beyond 2 levels. Admin config is set to the default of 7.

For Example:

Womens - Shoes - Heels
Womens - Shoes - Flats

all products in either of those categories, in EP only show

Womens - Shoes

as the category names.

Thus meaning that I cannot even use EP..

I have just had my website re-config'd and now starting on a clean slate. I have not uploaded anything into my site, wanting to make sure everything is running smartly before this happens. I have loads of zipped files/images which need to be uploaded and I see that EP 1254 was recommended as being the most stable. In my "dummy" shop I ftp'd file across as was recommended. When uploading the install_sql thru admin tools, this error comes up:

If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

what does it mean I would have liked it to have worked for me, from the write ups I have read people can;t live without it.

Read the README and INSTALL files!!!

** If for some reason the config install fails, you can upload the SQL file provided using Admin -> Tools -> Install SQL Patches

You don't need to run the SQL file (UNLESS there is some issue with the self-install)

After FTP of the "admin" folder, just go to your admin console TOOLS >>> Easy Populate

Upon entering the screen for the first time, look right at the top of the screen.... Just click the install link provided...

Thanx for that, its amazing what you think you read, when you haven't. (it was there all the time, was just looking in the wrong place!

Hi

I have installed 1.2.5.4 and managed to download a tab delimited file which I then adapted for an upload. The NEW product appeared in the database but not in the store. In Zen admin, the category which I uploaded the NEW product to shows that it now has 1 product in it, but will not show it.

No error messages received ...

Any ideas?

Is that NEW product ACTIVE or INACTIVE?

Call it up in the admin product add/edit screen and see if it is enabled or disabled.

In Easy Populate, the column governing this STATUS is v_status...

v_status = 0 (product is added to the database but is DISABLED) hidden from view in the webshop
v_status = 1 (product is added to the database and is ENABLED) visible in the webshop and regarded as in stock.
v_status = 9 (Product will be DELETED from the database along with its image(s)). Usually used to remove discontinued products.

Hi

Status was set to 1.

In Admin > categories it shows 1 of 1 active

but when I click on the category to go into it,there are no products there. It is in the database but just isn't showing up in admin > categories > 2 seater benches nor is it showing up in the store online.

I did add some additional fields (which I have in the product_table) which appeared in the tab delimited file (but without any data in them though they have data inputted in these fields. I wonder if there could be some problem with this?

Any help gratefully received.
