Easy Populate issue Products not showing

Hello all, I used Easy Populate to insert ~300 items into the cart. When accessing the site on the left where the categories are listed I see the category and it has (306) next to it showing that I have those items in the category so all is well there.

If I go into Admin it shows that there are 306 products in the category.

Now the problem. When I click on the category in admin or when I access the web site as a visitor would and click on the category there, none of my products show up.

In Admin in the category listing it says 306 of 306 active. So I I am stumped as to why I can't see any of the products that I have in the DB.

My feeling is that since I am so new to Zen Cart that I missed a setting somewhere. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

v_products_model v_categories_name_1 v_products_description_1 v_products_price v_products_image v_status EOREOR
EBAHH Bumper Stickers Ahhh.. I See the Screw-up Fairy 1.49 EB/EBAHH.jpg 1 EOREOR
EBALW Bumper Stickers Always Remember Unique 1.49 EB/EBALW.jpg 1 EOREOR

Of course this is not the complete file but everything follows the same pattern.

Thank you for reading!
Jim

Re: Easy Populate issue Products not showing

If you peek in phpMyAdmin, are you missing the master_categories_id from all Products in the table:
products

If you peek at the table:
products_to_categories

do you have information for all of your products_id with categories_id that match a record in the table:
categories

and matching records to the categories_id in the table:
categories_description

Re: Easy Populate issue Products not showing

Ajeh, thank you for the quick response!

What I can see it looks like most if not all of that is missing.

Is there some way for me to change the csv file that I am using to redo this properly?

Re: Easy Populate issue Products not showing

I see "EOREOR" - suggesting you are using an "old" version of EP.

Chadderuski has developed EP Version 4 that is better for ZC 1.5.x

See: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?190417-EasyPopulate-4-0-Support-Thread

His version has more features, and uses a CSV file format rather than tab-delimited.

It is a far better version - but I would have preferred it had he retained TAB-delimited rather than CSV...

Re: Easy Populate issue Products not showing

Schoolboy, I updated to EP4 as you suggested and got everything in, now I can start working on the next 10 categories that I need to import. <sigh>

But thank you very much for the suggestion and the assistance!

And thank you to everyone who answered my questions with so much patience for this newbie!
