Ajeh:
This is an update with the all of the fixes posted so far, I think, and the addition of images on the Products ...
I quoted the wrong post earlier...oops!
Here's some probably needed info:
My site is about a month and a half old.
ZenCart v1.5.3
Server OS: Linux 3.12.32.1415814620
MySQL 5.5.40-36.1-log
PHP Version: 5.4.34 (Zend: 2.4.0)
Multi Product Copy v1392 - (installed apparently improperly).
Easy Populate 4
What I'm trying to accomplish:
I paid someone to launch my site and import some products. After some research I probably could have done it myself and saved the $$ but what really gave me the confidence was when I downloaded my products from Easy Populate and got the layout for import (v_products_model, v_status, etc).
I have recently updated my site with 3,000 products into a category I named "Uncategorized Items". Some of these are "on" (1), most are "off" (0). With some research I found I could write an SQL to turn all (0) to (1) which would save me tons of time as I was doing these 1 by 1 in ZenCart. I have not put in that script yet because when I opened the SQL there were warning signs about backing up my server and that made me a bit uneasy so I researched. I have since backed up my server with a tool from my hosting company (JustHost).
I will try the script after I'm done figuring out this Multi Product Mod (or something better that is recommended).
Back to Multi Product Mod:
I need to be able to add multiple products to one category as streamlined as possible and believe this is the tool I need.
I installed the earlier version and you saw the outcome. My last post shows my steps and what happened (I may delete that post and keep this one to avoid confusion). Here it is again to keep in one post:
I've never installed a mod before so I followed the recommendation to a different mod (Apsona) that said to unzip into the admin folder.
That created an entire new (tree?/Directory?) in my zcadmin folder like this:
*Am I supposed to unzip these files on my computer first then upload each individual file to the folders on my server that they are labeled into in the zip? (keeping folder integrity). If yes, there is no "admin" folder on my server, only the "zcadmin" (and wp-admin under the "public - html" folder).
The Apsona install instructions seemed so simple but it doesn't seem that this zip is structured for that extraction type of installation because there is no "admin" folder on my server other than the "zcadmin" and extraction into it would just create an "admin" folder as it did in the picture above under the "multi_product_cop" folder it created. (Unless that's what it is supposed to do?)
I also noticed that I do not have a "boxes" folder on my server under "zcadmin". I see the option on my server to "Create Folder", would I have to do this first (create "boxes" folder)? Maybe the instructions in the "Read Me" can be updated with the simplest overview of installing these files? These installs cannot be that complicated, but it will be to someone who has never done one before such as myself. *
PS: I did a search for installing a mod, that's how I found Apsona install.
Very much appreciate your assistance! :)
