Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

I'm having problems when I load attributes. I exported the current attributes changed them and re-uploaded them. All works great except when a attribute has a negative value (That attribute should subtract from the price) When I put in a negative value it adds another negative sign in the attributes controller and so it because positive. I can't figure out how to get around that. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi!

I have a query in regards to EasyPopulate and the updating of stock!

I have about 200 items, about 100 of which have attributes - I have gone through and added stock to each of the size attributes for the items that have attributes.

I now just need to add stock to those items that do not have attributes - just the product and stock.

If I use EP and add stock quantity to only the products that have no attributes will the items that have attributes retain the stock I have already added.

eg:
Currently:
Item 1 (Size 1) - I have qty 2
Item 1 (Size 2) - I have qty 2

(Added these manually as they have stock attributes Size 1 and 2)

If I use EP and change stock levels for say Item 2 which has no attributes, will Item 1 retain the stock I have already entered, or do I have to remove those items from the EP upload altogether.

Attributes do not work correctly in EP. Sorry. This has yet to be updates/fixed.

In the meantime you can use the Bulk Attribute Creator in the downloads section.
Worked for me, but I cannot get it to hide option values.
In other words, when I select an option name I would like it to display only values related to it.
This it does not do.

double post, sorry

I successfully imported nearly 20,000 items into my database, and then updated about 3,000 of them to reflect sale pricing. Yay!

The problem I'm having though is I can't get any dates to import. Every product ends up being dated 12-31-1969.

I've repeated the whole process many times. Date formats have been:

2009-05-29 08:49:14
"2009-05-29 08:49:14"
2009-05-29 00:00:00
"2009-05-29 00:00:00"
2009-05-29
05-29-2009
"05-29-2009"

No luck on any of these. Easypopulate is configured to use m-d-y and 09:00:00 as the defaults.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Ah, my guess is that you have listed year/month/date/time - not month/day/year and time. (reversed)
Mine looks like this:
27-05-2009 4:32:17 PM

Try 05/29/2009

It works for me.

Please help, im new user of EP attempting to import products to zen cart, getting error when uploading to database with EP =

No model field in record. This line was not imported
No model field in record. This line was not imported
No model field in record. This line was not imported
No model field in record. This line was not imported
No model field in record. This line was not imported

The only documentation I can find on this is that all v_products_model need to be unique , but this is already the case..

also getting error when attempting to import larger files = Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20379 bytes) in ...\admin\easypopulate.php on line 1314

I found resolution for "No Model Field in record." I think the tab delimited file i was using corrupted or somethjing..

I followed the directions from some guy named Andy Paton on another forum:

Open Excel.
Go to import external data>import data- browse for your folder the EP downloaded>open>.
Then (Step 1)use the "delimited option">(Step 2)Make sure "TAB" is the only one selected(Step 3) Make sure "Column Data Format" needs to be set to "Text".
Then press finish and select "OK" on the following box that comes up. your data will now be in the spreadseet.

Use your spreadsheeet to populate your products. Make sure you set Qty to at least 1 as this will make it active. Enable the product as "active".
(Make sure that you save it as a CSV. then open it and select a save as a "Tab Delimeted" file which you can then upload. No need to upload the CSV file.Hope this helps

except i didn't save as CSV from excel , just saved as tab delimited. --

I'm still stuck on uploading larger files getting to import larger files = Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20379 bytes) in ...\admin\easypopulate.php on line 1314

I have downloaded the csv file for attributes in my test site.
It is huge and chaotic, and mostly useless.
I know I suggested the Bulk Attribute Creator, but this doesn't help much because although it can create all the attributes for a product at once, by holding down the Ctrl key and selecting, it does not associate anything with the attribute.
E.g. I have products with an average of 50 color attributes, some of these attributes are shared with many products, however I have to associate the image with the attribute every time.
It would be nice if the color attribute were inserted with the associated image, and other properties, in just one operation.
A binding would have to be created for the attribute and its properties.
This would speed up creation a lot.
Anybody know how to do this?

Hi All

How can I sort my products via the tab delimited file?

I use EZ Populate and love it!!
A couple of questions please -

1. I know that I had seen a sql patch to set minimum quanities but now can't find it. I want to set the minimum order at .5 without manually changing everthing. Can someone help with this?
2. Also want to change Quanity Units so that people can order .25, .5, .75 etc with a minimum order of .5 - is this possible thru EP?

TIA
Mona

Im running easy populate 1.2.5.4 with ZC 138a
Every time I run my .txt products feed I get a error 500
No matter how small I make the file it gives me this error.

I thought it was my server so I switched to oscommerce just to test it out, oscommerce with easy populate loads up fast and fine so what can be wrong with my EP in zencart?

What are the permissions on your TEMP folder?

Interesting i didnt think ep1.2.5.4 for zencart would work with os ? Question : Are you using Langer's original version from modhole or a updated version downloaded for zencarts download section , as these seem to be buggy.

Im running easy populate 1.2.5.4 CSV with ZC 138a

I am looking for help on getting an upload to work with easy populate....

I have the correct permissions on my "tempEP" folder and can read and write to that location without any problems.

I can download files without any problem.

I then

• copied two of the products I manually added through ZenCart (the entire row)
• then changed the "model" and "name" on the two new rowsThis way I knew for format and field would match exactly as they were 'downloaded' via easy poplulate.

I uploaded via the browse button and inserted to DB and the new records were not in my data base.

I 'FTP'ed the files to the tempEP folder and imported from my tempEP folder and inserted in DB, still the new products were not there.

I tried saving from excel as tab delimited files and doing the same processes. Still no luck.

I tried downloading TXT files and converting to excel and resaving as tab delimited files. still no luck.

all of my attempts show in easy populate under the 'upload' section. I clicked import on each to try and see if that was necessary, still no luck.

I also wen to 'tools / store manager /' and tried the reseting as discribed in this thread. still no luck.

I am probably missing something very simple...

If any one can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks

I am getting followin error, when I go in to edit byte size I do not find anything on that line that would enable me to do that:

Creat Froogle:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /home6/hillsie0/public_html/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 189

Creat cvs file:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 24 bytes) in /home6/hillsie0/public_html/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 393

I have a problem and I cant determine if it is a easy populate problem or a zen-cart issue. When trying to load data feeds no matter how small the size I get a error 500

Now just to be sure it wasnt a server issue I used oscommerce with easy populate. The feeds load fast and with no trouble.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be wrong?

Latest verions of Zen-cart and easy populate 1.2.5.4

I'm also getting the following error when trying to download or create the model/attributes file:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /easypopulate.php on line 1074

Has anyone encountered this error and found a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.
