EasyPopulate 4.0 Support Thread

Zencart 2.1
EasyPopulate-4.0-4.0.39
php 8.2
webserver PHP version: 8.3.14

Not really getting any errors. Its just not importing correctly. And Yes i do have this on a live server. I thought I tested everything. Now I am looking for an alternative solution pulling my hair out of my head. not going to be a fun day

Did u try in your settings to put it on language id

When I go to backend i see Import Language Override. It was set to language_id_only i changed it to language_id and I still got the same results with it not importing correctly

Does anyone have an alternative solution

Just use DBIO. EP has had too many cooks and should be laid to rest.

What is DBI is that a plugin

Come on, we are all DIY-ers here, "Zen Cart DBIO" should be the first reaction/search...

EasyPopulate-4 is not ready for zc2.1.0 and I don't know if it OK for 2.0.x either.

I agree with Torvista and have installed DBio for my requirements.

Have you tried adding ?langer=remove to the end of the URL?

that worked

actually it did not work.

this is what I tried

/index.php?cmd=easypopulate_4?langer=remove
/index.php?cmd=easypopulate_4.php?langer=remove

Just reporting back that EasyPopulate-4.0 from the GitHub works as expected when installed in admin. I used Zc2.1.0; PHP 8.3.4 Mariadb 11.6.2

It it just the /plugins version that still requires some work

Is there a way to have the file exports to sort by date, where the most recent is on top in the table at the bottom?

retched:

Unless you changed a setting, the URL should belong to "v_products_url" field. But do you mean for compatibility with a SEO rewrite engine, no there's no such field for that innately.

There is a configurable option on easy populate to export the URL as would be seen using the Zen Cart function zen_href_link. The v_products_url field is a database field typically having a link to an off-site location to be displayed with the product or creatively used for other reasons such as to retrieve an image or something.

There is, though would require a little bit of SQL code to accomplish.

Are you wanting every export, certain or particular ones, something switchable like from the admin screen? When say by date or newest, can you be more specific? There typically are dates captured for every product; however, there are also means to bypass those dates or adjust them.

Trying to get an idea of the initial request which could then be modified to suit.

Sure, so im talking about the table on the ep4 page that shows a history of all the exports you do. so whichever file no mater the export type, the one with the most recent timestamp would be on top of the table. I could see where a sort option to change the sort preference in the admin would also be helpful, although IMO the most recent file on top of the list is very useful.

Hi, I am using ZC 2.1.0 w/ php 8.3. Template is Responsive Classic.

Let me preface by saying, I did not have a problem w/ 2.0.1, however I am having trouble with 2.1.0

I have been struggling w/ getting EP to work as the basic attributes is not allowing imports nor exports. After submitting an import I get a blank page. After exporting it returns exactly only 1 line of data instead of the many on the website. I initially tried installing EP4 located at https://github.com/mc12345678/EasyPopulate-4.0. I then attempted to use 4.0.39. I did have an error log, however I in error deleted it when restoring a backup.

Now that my steps are addressed. I removed Easy Populate altogether so I can have a fresh start. Can you please tell me which is the most "baked" Easy Populate version to use that others are using successfully for zc 2.1.0? I will install it and start over and if I run into issues will provide an update.

Thank you very much for your help

I needed to do a quick test to see how EP handled images. So I went to my new ZC2.0 site...and I get a 500 error. This sort of shocked me as I have never had any issues with EP.

Zen Cart 2.0.1
Database Patch Level: 2.0.0
v2.0.0 [2024-06-02 05:34:21] (Version Update 1.5.8->2.0.0)
v1.5.7a [2020-11-10 21:55:11] (New Installation-v157a)
v1.5.7a [2020-11-10 21:55:11] (New Installation-v157a)

A 500 error should create a log file. Post it in its entirety using the # above.

I needed something done that very minute. I did a bit of research on DBIO and realized it would do what I needed. It worked like a champ.
