Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Jshessel]

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help me. I've just installed Easy Populate Advance2.75a-Zen-Cart 1.2, and I'm having an issue when it comes to uploading a csv file: Nothing happens.

It can see the file in the temp directory (which is chmod to 777) in the dropdown, but when I try and upload it, there is no message telling me that there's any success or failure and the products aren't being populated into my DB.

I've tried using the demo data that came with the install, and still the lack of results.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

blazed You would get a new product_id number which would then reflect on search engine index's. (ie you ranking in search engine results for that particular product).

Thanks again Scrat, affecting the serps would not be good.

Jshessel If you read the epic of a thread you will see that there are several version's of EP, it has a very battle scared history ( ZC attributes are very clunky and hopefully this will be simplified in future releases with stock by attributes included in ZC 2.0 ) but we have what we have so we have to deal with it as it is !
If you are very good with php then I would have a go with this version you are dealing with but you would need to do some work on it, but if you are not I would stay with Version 1.2.5.4 by 'langer' (no body else's) and this works.
Yes people are using the 1.2.5.7b version but from my experience this had issues (which may now have changed as I have not used it for a while) I think there is now a thread regarding that version, check it out.

Thanks for the response, Scrat.

Where does one find Easy Populate 1.2.5.4? I can't find anywhere to download it from.

Edit: Never Mind! I was able to find the link! Here's hoping this fixes things.

A few of us, led by the capable jrobeson, are looking at a completely re-vamped Easy Populate...

( I hope that V2 will not be too radical on the dbase side... Murphy's law says the day that the new EP is available, so will V2 )

I hope that V2 will not be too radical on the dbase side...

I totally understand why, but you know as well as I the way EP and ZC's attributes work is a real pain in the so if there is any change it may be for the better...

I am hoping that someone can help me with this error when trying to upload my products. This has only just happened and nothing has changed in the cart and it has been working fine for over a year

Warning: file(/home/ecomums/public_html/shop/temp/Full-EP2010Mar12-0202.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ecomums/public_html/shop/tek/easypopulate.php on line 1209

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/ecomums/public_html/shop/tek/easypopulate.php on line 1310

normally my web host guy looks at all this for me, and this was why I moved over to him for the support but he has just informed me he wont any more.
So any help would be great

I have the latest Zen cart and EP 1.2.5.4 I have used it before and uploaded data to it and now for some reason all I get is a Upload Results

File uploaded.
Temporary filename: /tmp/phpjduLc5
User filename: Master.txt
Size: 1723550

Upload Complete

It does not add any data to the shop?

Any Ideas at what I missed?

gabbytwin I would suggest if your EP has been working fine for that period of time, and you haven't changed anything in ZC something has changed on the server side. May be its time to move hosting...

LovejonesBoutique Did you enter a product manually in ZC first ? as if you uploaded via EP first, your products will not show up. I haven't done this myself but you might try 'Reset ALL Products Master Categories ID' in Store Manger.

good luck with your revamp, be kind!
May I please request easy populate to include product dimensions length width & height in the upload fields if possible
