Apsona ShopAdmin - a free tool for import/mass update/reporting

Hi, i can rum apsona on my local site, so i reuploaded the files to my server, but no joy. I have asked the tech support guys from my hosting company to look into it. About 6 sweeks a go the port me to a different server, and everything went ########-up, so they moved me back, I think? The new tabs say" apsona shopadmin 1.07.1 for zen cart" and gives a blank page. Any thoughts?

OK, it appears that it worked for the tech guy. The only way i can get to apson shopadmin is to remove the s from the https. very strange! The tech guy can access apsona shopadmin using https, i used to be able to.
How is it for every one else. http or https ?

Many thanks

I have to remove the https also to access the aspona shopadmin. It doesn't open in another window either (but never has) It is annoying that I have to disable the https in order to get access. This all started for me when I put the SSL on my website

Hi, wwrepair, this never used to be so, it only started to happen to me recently. But strangely enough, the tech guys for the hosting company i used don't have to remove the s from the https. I have asked them to check the SSL, as i think the problem lies there.
I will let you know how i get on. Anyone else having this issue?

Everything still works fine for me.

I am using ZenCart 1.5 and I have the add on module "Short Description" installed that adds a short product description in addition to the original product description. How can I get Aspona to use this field also with the import/export feature? Can it be added?

Got it successfully installed on OpenCart v1.5.4 in about 30 seconds. Really great module, thank you so much!

On page 35 of this thread, one user asked about product XML feed and live update, in which case Apsona replied that it may be something provided later on down the road. I just wanted to reaffirm that need and request.

Do you have anything in the works Apsona? Thank you very much again!

Oh, one more question...

When importing customer data, I noticed that in the customer table from the database, that the customer's password is encrypted in the customers_password column.

Will the customer still be able to log in? In other words, does the new installation of Zen Cart know how to read their password, once the table is imported?

Thanks.

Has anyone found a way around this?

I read all the posts after this one and couldn't see anyone answering this guy and I'm having the same issue...

Apsona and EZ-Pages

Is there a way in Apsona to add / edit meta tags for EZ Pages?
Cheers

Hi all,

I'm using Zencart v1.5.1 with Inmotion hosting. Also using Firefox v16.0.2.

Got this app installed OK, but when I click on the Apsona Shopadmin link under Tools, all I get is a spinning circle...sort of like a flash video trying to load. That's all that happens. I don't get any errors...it just sits with the spinning circle.

I've looked at file permissions, etc., but nothing appears to be wrong.

Any ideas as to what I might look at?

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention that I sent an email to Apsona support concerning this, but no reply as of now.

If I do get a fix from them, I'll be sure to post it here.

Hi selcyis,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I checked the paths/files 3 times...also set the 'write' permissions on the .php files (suggested on Apsona's site).

Maybe it's a problem with my hosting...?

OK...removed and reinstalled with the same result...a spinning circle.

I did notice, however, that in my database, the 2 new tables created have no "zen_" prefix like the rest of the tables. So...I renamed the 2 new tables (added the "zen_" prefix to them) and tried again...same stinking problem.

Anybody have any clues?

I love Apsona Shopadmin and I use it for everything, but now I need to do a very specific search of users and I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

I want to send a special offer only to customers who DID NOT already buy product A OR product B (or both)

It feels like I've tried all combinations of filters already. When I extract users who DID buy product x I go to Ordered Products / Reports, then as filter terms I add "Product ID equal to x", but if I try "Product ID NOT equal to x" the user's turns up anyways, even when the same order contained that exact product. Really anoying.

Has anyone else managed to get this to work?

Truly greatful for help

Best regards

Peter

Totally forgot about this post...sorry about that.

Anyway, believe this or not, 2 days later (November 18) I decided to click on this in Admin / Tools, and LO ! It works as advertised.

I have no idea what was going on, but all is well now.

Thanks for the assistance anyway.

Hello, I am pleased with Aspona as far as my mass uploads to my website. I have run into an issue though. How do I get the product url and the image url to export? I have that field selected when doing a product export, but it is blank. How do I get it to find the information from zen regarding the product url and image url? Thank you

Good luck with that. I asked back in March 2012:

This is off topic but I noticed a post further back (can't find it now) that was having the same problem as me. Apsona would load with only the header at the top and nothing else no content. Even the install FAQ's couldn't help it. What I found after tracing the error log was an undefined index error cause from the Admin config file. This is most likely to do with me running a server off my home computer so I commented the admin config section defining the admin folder temporarily and defined manually like the older versions of Zencart. Now it works! So if anyone has any problems similar give that a shot especially if running off something like Easyphp. Anyways just thought I'd add that for someone in case they can use the info. Took me a whole day to figure this one out.

I am trying to export all my products, and ALL fields, to a csv, no matter what, I got the dreaded 'We are sorry but the page you requested is no longer available, it has been moved or deleted' error, which means it run out of time or memory or something I really don't know the fact is not writing product.csv, as this is the name Apsona Shop Admin gives to the csv, I am on a VPS therefore I configured max input time to -1 (infinite) max execution time to 360000 and the memory for php.ini is 2048M, so where can be a problem? Apsona creates all kinds of smaller files but with a really huge one, it's not working, so what configuration is recommended in this case?
