EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[spin]

I'm just lost. Looking for somebody that can do this for me for a fee. I have Easy Populate Advanced 3.0.3 and exported cats meta, well, everything. Had issues with my database and site, long story. Now have a fresh install and Easy Populate Advanced 3.0.3 isn't working on the new site with Zen Cart 1.50. SO..... I uploaded Easy Populate 4.0 Chads, appears to be working or at least the menu is there unlike my Advance which I paid 3.0.3. If this thing one saves my bacon I'd be glad to pay for it

I have no idea what to do to get back my store and I need help please.

Any ideas?

I just added a few days ago, and had no problem. Did you add a few in admin and export to see how they looked?

I did add some meta tags in the admin, created the file - they were there. When I added one as a test and did the upload - nothing.
Thanks.

Question, all my copyright and single quote characters get converted to the "?" in the black diamond symbol. I have tried every setting in the configuration and nothing works to correct this.

I am running EP 4.22... What to do now?

Please excuse my lack of experience, I am new to ZenCart. I have downloaded EasyPopulate, under my site structure folders, I have a folder called ZenCart Admin - is this the Admin folder you are referencing? Do I change the EasyPopulate Admin folder to ZenCart Admin? As I am using ZenCart 1.5, I understand I upload the additional files, do I upload them to the like folders, such as take the content of the EasyPopulate 1.5 folder titled Includes and place them into the ZenCart Admin Includes folder? I apologize for my confusion, but would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

I figured it out - just took a lack of sleep to overcome the brain "noise". LOVE the program!

Need help on another Easy Populate challenge with images. My client has over 200 images that are presently only available via Hyperlink, is there a specific format to input the Image URL into the CSV file so that EasyPopulate/Zen Cart will also pull the images. Thank you in advance!!

Hi Tina,
Do you have Meta Tags enabled in the Configure -> Easy Populate 4 settings? If set to false, it will ignore those columns.

If it still isn't working, zip your csv file and attach so we can look at it.

Hmmm..... this would require a coding change I think to the import code since images are assumed to be under the /images folder....

When you say "pull" the image, you do mean just load the image from the remote location, correct?
