Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Earnest-Enterprises]

Thank you, Schoolboy. Your points are well taken. 1.2.5.4 it is. I use Open Office instead of Excel. Seems to do a better job in the editing of my list. I do know what you're saying regarding the use of quote marks (I don't use them as inch indicators in my product deminsions). I have to edit my products to say in. instead of the ". Also trademark/copyright special characters don't work, either. As you said being cautious of what the product titles and descripts contain EZ works great. I consistently U/L and D/L lists containing in excess of 2000+ products without a hitch. I'll be adding porobably an additional 1500 products and don't expect any issues.

Thanks again!

I am using Easy Populate and I want to upload my product that have images hosted at another site. I changed the PHP code to allow it. Now I cannot figure out how to change the size allowed for the image location in the database (I need it to allow 128 characters instead of the default setting). Could someone please help me?

You need to change in the database field 'products_image' in the products table.

varchar(64) to varchar(128) 

PS No need to Bold and Red Text people are willing to help here... Also moderators frown on double posting...

Hopefully I'm not jumping the gun on this. I usually use Zen-Cart Store Manager to do everything with my store. I like it, its friendly and easy. Recently, I wasn't able to connect any longer and contacted my Hosting company who advised me the server suffered a DDOS. I'm not really sure what that is but I'm told it is pretty severe. I may not have remote access for weeks they say.

SO! I needed an option to update my products and Easy populate is what I came across.

A little intimidating at first BUT it took me all of 2 hours to comprehend 90% of it and I will say I like it MUCH better then ZC Store Manager. It just seems more flexible and faster.

I ended up creating a secondary store kind of a test store to mess around and it really is quite easy. So, just my Thanks :)

I have a small problem with categories.

Is there any easy way to seperate the categories and subcategories from here (WARNING - ADULT CONTENT), basically the CSV file had just one field for categories and sub-categories with entries such as Relaxation Zone->Personal Hygiene and I didn't realise this until afterwards

This is only a test site so to start over again is no big problem for me, just wondering how best I would go about doing it, there's 3000 products so I don't fancy editing the CSV file to split them up if I can help it

Actually, just ANALysing the categoreis, I guess it would be simpler to just create new main categories, then move and rename what would be the sub categories from within the admin panel... hmmm....
