Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[rebel tech]

Hi

I am loving EP :) Thanks to those that made this contribution possible.

I just have one slight problem.

My problem is that when I import my EP file (in .txt) format I can't seem to find the products in the Admin search.

What I mean by this is - if I import my file, the import is successful and I can see the new products in customer view BUT when I go into admin and type the product/product phrase into the admin search it comes up empty. If I manually look for the products they are listed there.

Please advise if I am doing something wrong.

Attributes do not work correctly in 1.2.5.4

Well I've tried all I could before posting here.

I have my Tab Dilimited File set up with only 300 products.

1.2.5.4 Easy Populate with ZenCart 1.3.9h installed. No errors during installation.

Everytime I try to import the file I get the results in my example1.jpg, however there is nothing in my database. No products.

I've included my file incase someone is interested in looking for where I went wrong.

Thank you if you can help.

Scott

Scupoli,

I believe this version of EP requires a column with title EOREOR, and with EOREOR at the end of every line, other wise it treats the entire file as 1 record

It's often best to enter a products by hand first, then do an export.

Also, are you references images OFF site? Normally, these will be under your /images/ folder, and you would only need to reference the actually image name as the path is determined by Zencart.

and what about the error that, after the new products are up i can not find them using product search in admin?
The search works in the customer section but not in the admin section.
All products are up and working, though.

What version of Easy Populate should I use? I don't understand why it is so difficult getting this contribution to work for everyone.

There is a $65.00 version floating around. Maybe that is why nobody wants to fix the free one.

To be honest, I'm not familiar with the issue you are describing. Usually after an upload with products not showing under Categories you'd need to update Master Categories id and sometime Products Price Sorter.

In your Admin under Tools -> Store Manager

Try updating your Master Categories ID.

Check your search, then try one of the others. Let us know if it fixes your issue.

Also see post 3231. He has the same issue.
It's like that. i updated my store and all products and categories are there. for the customer as well as for the admin section.
The customer can see and search just fine but when i try to find a product in the admin section - using the search - nothing shows up.
I basically have to try to find the product manually - that requires to know what category they are in and so forth.
Again, using search in the store is just fine, searching in admin doesn't work

I'm sorry. I'm unaware of this issues as related to EP. Perhaps searching main forum for "broken admin search" ...? I have not seen this behavior from EP.
