    I tried before with those two and including the v_categories_id column to specify my own category ID but I took it out. Even after taking it out I still got the same errors.

    Every time I try to import, I get nothing but 'No model field in record. This line was not imported' errors for every row.

    All I want to do is import categories with no products yet.

    Can someone help me please? I have opened the CSV file in Notepad and verified it is comma-delimited (no tabs, blank spaces at end, etc).

    Thank you!
    Jokkah,

    The Category import/export does is not used to create the category tree, it is only used to UPDATE the category info like if you want to add descriptions, images, etc.

    The categories are only created automatically using the FULL import sheet. You would need at least 1 product in each category, but you could trim out much of the sheet columns to make it simple.

    In the past (and with older version of EP) the "move" was accomplished by first deleting the item with "status = 9" and then
    having the same product listed in it's new category with "status = 1"

    NOTE: WHEN YOU USE THIS TECHNIQUE, IT WILL ALSO DELETE THE PRODUCT IMAGE! So you will have to reupload them.

    Yes, this does create a new products_id in the table.

    To add a "move" she is quite possible, but we really need to get this documented and submitted before make more changes/additions.
    No ETA on that yet either, sorry.

    Agree, significant design changes should wait for the documentation. I've started working on the SBA portion of the instructions, but just about that much of it... Started...

    Btw, thank you for clarifying the category discussion above I almost can't remember what I was doing at the timme I unsuccessfully tried to help with that one.

    Not so certain that a new sheet would be necessary, but that's for future development speak, and perhaps the community would have a weigh-in.

    Hi Guys

    I am unable to import 3 columns from the Detailed Attributes file. Once I click on the import hyperlink the page it goes to a blank page with this url in the address bar
    http://www.books.com/zencart/admin/e...led-EP2014.csv

    These are the columns that wont import ,with some data.

    v_products_attributes_filename /Books/Chapter1/HarryPottere.pdf
    v_products_attributes_maxdays 7
    v_products_attributes_maxcount 10

    I use the same format as the exports from easypopulate, Full/Basic/Detailed

    Is there an error log or something that can help me understand why its not importing

    Thanks Paul

    So, EP4 does provide some error logging with the log file stored in the directory used for your import/export files; however, a blank screen error will typicallybe logged into the ZC error log file which for ZC versions <=1.5.0 is in the stores cache directory and versions >= 1.5.1 is in the logs folder.

    Btw, ion a mobile device so I was redirected when I attempted to follow that link, but hopefully that is not a true/valid path to the software. If it is, the admin folder should be renamed. (Possible to have an admin folder named admin in earlier versions of ZC and the version being used was not identified.)

    Just attempted first an export from a database, no modifications made, and then an import of the same file that had a name of Attrib-Detailed-EP as a prefix. No white screen result.

    Also then went in and modified one value in those three, uploaded, and the value was shown as changed.

    Hopefully the issue with the "local" machine can be rectified.

    Perhaps I am missing something, but I just added products via Easy Populate 4 and assumed that the new lines in my product descriptions would be converted to <br /> once uploaded. This was not the case. Now I have to manually go into each product to re-format all my descriptions. Is this normal behaviour?

    In Admin my settings for Smart Tags Replacement of Newlines and Advanced Smart Tags are both set to True.

    Also, when adding <br /> tags in EP4, they do not stick when uploaded. However, <br / > tags that were generated when creating products via Admin, do export into EP4.
