EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

[jsarwar]

Is it possible to use UPC field instead of model field to update products using easy populate. If yes what change we need to make in files?

Read this about Product URL:

Not what you'd expect.

I am working on an update that export a products cpath (what you normally see when you're on a product page), I will have to do some research to see what Conor did in his URI mapping mod, but I think he uses some of his own tables and core modifications....

I see you have completed the export CEON URI feature. Is it possible to import CEON URI using EP when adding new products?

"500" errors are a result of either a PHP fatal error (which will be recorded in your site's /logs/myDebug-adm-xxxxxxxx.log files) or a server security rule triggered by something like mod_security (the details of which will be recorded in the server's internal security logs, which your hosting company can access to help you).

But why do I just import one of the data (Prefix: attrib-basic-ep.). When there is such a problem? Everything else is normal (such as pictures)

Check your site's /logs sub-directory. You'll have a myDEBUG-adm-{stuff}.log file that identifies the source of the error.

If you choose to post the contents of one of those *-adm-*.log files, be sure to xxx-out the name of your site's admin subdirectory before posting.

...the browser will be completely white.

As I said earlier, the blank page (the 500 error) is a result of a fatal error triggered on the server.

lat9 and I have both explained how you can investigate to find the actual error details.

Not so sure that chadderruski created a URI generation on export feature, otherwise I probably wouldn't have gone through with doing so. I would think that it would be possible to do some sort of update on import through Ceon's URI Mapping Manager.

Yes, though I didn't make it as easy as I thought I had...

Apparently a new notifier needs to be added in to allow further "development" to use an alternate field,..

There are two basic factors involved with details to be captured/handled in what appears to be two files:

admin/easypopulate_4.php : Need to populate 'EP4_DB_FILTER_KEY' with the key name to be used later in import... This is normally read from the database, but it could be pre-loaded in the file load structure or the database could be updated to include the extra option(s).
admin/easypopulate_4_import.php: sometime either within or after this section: switch (EP4_DB_FILTER_KEY) { ... } need to set each of the variables identified within that section to the desired state for your new primary key. I was thinking that a notifier was included to support this, but I don't see it... Obviously could add a set of code directly in that file's section to handle your specific case.

Considering that the UPC "mod" is recognized, there is no need to add an additional custom field to track for export/import, but if the new field was not a pre-recognized field then would need to add it to the list of fields to process.

Of course and has likely been described countless times in here, is there a reason that the UPC code isn't part of the model?

To "pile on" to the rest of the recommendations, please also identify version(s) of software (I figured out/can guess from the image in the github issue that it is most likely Zen Cart 1.5.7x because of the cmd= parameter in the URI path, but even that is not highly specific). More information helps to figure out the issue. Obviously the first thing that would help would be the error log that has been discussed above, then the data within the file or something similar. If I can recreate the issue then perhaps it either can be fixed or prevented.
