Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[cdnbride]

The field for price is purely a NUMERICAL VALUE and must remain as such... no alpha characters allowed, because this value is used to calculate (using arithmetic formulae) a large number of things in your webshop.

You are wanting to add a LINE OF TEXT, explaining the range of pricing available and this HAS TO BE part of your product description as this is where such TEXT STRINGS can be included.

Thank you Schoolboy, I was hoping that you were around here somewhere. That is an easy fix and I guess if I had sat here long enough and thought about it, I would have been able to figure that one out.
Cheers!

Any more of an idea on this issue?

I just deleted the two date columns, same error...

[Mike_Dean]

Can I decide which of the columns I chose to use when uploading via EP ?

I want to be able to add images and the description manually.

I just want to use these;

v_products_model
v_products_name_1
v_products_url_1
v_products_price
v_products_weight
v_products_quantity
v_manufacturers_name
v_categories_name_1
v_categories_name_2
v_categories_name_3
v_tax_class_title
v_status (set to 0)
EOREOR


Can I just use these and remove the rest, or will it through up a hissy fit ?

This should be fine... bearing in mind that v_status = 0 means that the product will be "disabled" in the store (rendered "invisible", but the product data retained in the dbase.)

Thanks..

I'd want the status at 0, so I can then go though and add images and proper descriptions and set them live as I go.

I am still pretty new to zencart.
Version 1.3.8, Not upgrading
Addons. MSRP, Bulk Atributes Controller, Easypopulate, fedex is installed, trying to set up origin based shipping. All addons added in last 2 weeks.
Premium5a template was originally installed.

I have checked FAQ area and searched for the error.
I am trying to intsall a new version of easy populate. This is for the origin based shipping module.

I am receiving the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ep_datoriser() in /home/your_store/public_html/admin/easypopulate.php on line 1757

Found a reference to this in this thread changed my date format to yyyy/mm/dd. I am still receiving the error.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Easy Populate does not have any relationship with shipping modules/data. It is for product data only.

Hello All;

I have installed EP and cannot find what is the next step after uploading my product data files through admin.

I have set up my spreadsheet according to all the directions, and have uploaded the file successfully. But I get a warning after uploading the file:

Warning: explode() [function.explode]: Empty delimiter in /home/lovejon1/public_html/lovejonesboutique-toys.com/admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/easypopulate_functions.php on line 247

Im not sure what this exactly means. Is there anyone that can help me solve this issue, as well as explain to me what are the next steps I should follow after I have uploaded the files.

Thank you,
