Sorry, but I'm another newbie who can't get Easy Populate to do a darn thing.

It installed okay, Temp folder permissions reset to 777, tab-delimited file seems to be read okay and I get an "Upload Complete" message with no errors...but also no products.

I've tried resetting categories in the ADMIN>TOOLS>STORE MANAGER, and I've tried reading Easy Populate's readme.txt file, but frankly a lot of it is just Greek to me.

Am I supposed to do something after I get the "Upload Complete" message? Or is there some extra configuration I'm supposed to be doing to the .CSV file before I upload it?

Thanks.

I have installed easy populate on 1.3.8a and created csv files with my products. Now I installed it also on new 1.3.9a and I am trying to import that product file into database only to get the following error:

MySQL error 1054: Unknown column 'p.EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_FIELDS' in 'field list'
When executing:
SELECT
			p.products_id as v_products_id,
			p.products_model as v_products_model,

			p.products_weight as v_products_weight,
			p.products_last_modified as v_last_modified,
			p.products_date_added as v_date_added,
			p.products_tax_class_id as v_tax_class_id,
			p.products_quantity as v_products_quantity,
			p.manufacturers_id as v_manufacturers_id,
			subc.categories_id as v_categories_id,
			p.products_status as v_status,

			p.metatags_products_name_status as v_metatags_products_name_status,

			Retail_products as p,
			Retail_categories as subc,
			Retail_products_to_categories as ptoc
			WHERE
			p.products_id = ptoc.products_id AND
			ptoc.categories_id = subc.categories_id

I have checked the column headings and they are identical. I have one extra field - short_description, that shows on both headings, but I have no idea what should be in EASYPOPULATE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_FIELDS (which is empty)

Any help/suggestion would be appreciated!

I got a similar response until I put back-quotes around the table and field names:

UPDATE products SET products_qty_box_status = '1'

This used to work. Now, I still get the 'failed' message. Something to do with the v139 change, perhaps?

I would really like to be able to use the model number for the zipcode. I have a dating site, and I would like someone to be able to enter in a zip code and see all the different results.

Is there no possible way for this? I have read that model number is a key field.

But on wiki I also read that as long as you have them in different categories it should work.

The error message i get:

Warning: file(/home/musicalv/public_html/o-bean.com/temp/temp/) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/musicalv/public_html/o-bean.com/admin/easypopulate.php on line 1223

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/musicalv/public_html/o-bean.com/admin/easypopulate.php on line 1301

Any Fix For this???:frusty:

OK I have a work around that I found after reading other posts.

Easy way is to use the Manufaturers name as zipcode. This allows you to have an unlimited number of products with the same zipcode/manufacturer name.

Of course now you will have to go to admin/tools/developer tool kit and search for every occurance of manufacturer and replace it with Zipcode. Do this carefully as you dont want to change variable names, just the values of variables. I had already done that for product model but now I will scrap that since I can only have one unique occurance of product model.

I have already instituted this without any problem.

Other option is to list your products as Music. This will give you three additional fields, Artist, Genre and company. Again, you will have to go to developers tool kit and search for each occurance and change them to reflect your needs.

Either one of these options works really slick. If you are not using manufacturer name, as most probably aren't, I recommend going that route. Of course that will only give you one additional field. Good enough for me.

Good Day, I've a bit problem :(

I've installed easypopulate 1.2.5.6 in my (test) zencart, but in admin panel I don't seen any choice for easypopulate.
I've (how specified in install.txt) copied all contents of directory admin of easypopulate into directory admin of my site but don't work :(
I've forgotten something?
I hope in your help :)
Thanks.

It doesn't show up in the Tools menu?

Exactly!!!

There's not much that can go wrong here. EP consists of only two files. If you have both of those files in the correct directories, it pretty much has to work. Remember, you need to reload your admin page (hit "refresh") on the browser to see this after you upload it.

Is your admin directory named something different?

What version of ZC are you running?

In testing version of my zencart the admin directory isn't renamed.
I've copied from folder of easy populate /admin/easypopulate.php in directory /admin of my site and easypopulate.php from folder of easy populate /admin/includes/languages/english in same directory of my site.
My default language is Italian and I've too create directory admin/includes/languages/italian and copied easypopulate.php from english to it.
I'm running zencart 1.3.8

Caro stefano

I would recommend that you reinstall for starters. Then Add one item in your store using the usual method. Then go to admin tools easypopulate and down load the csv file.

Then open the csv file in open office scalc. Then fill the fields with the appropriate information. Remember ALL product models must be unique. Save the file to a different name. Then go to admin tools easy populate and upload the csv file.

It must work.

Sei Italiano?
In tal caso perchè non mi scrivi in italiano così mi capisco meglio?
Grazie :)

Translate:
Are you Italian?
Why you don't write me in Italian so I understand better?
Thanks :)

This is an English site.

You did install the database files correct?

pixelpadre:

Wich database?

In install.txt is wrote:

1) Change the name of the "admin" directory in this package to suit your zencart installation
2) Upload all files in their respective directories.
3) If this mod gives you more time with your family or friends, and/or less customer headaches, please
   consider a donation and email me shafiqsa19######################

That's it!

In point one, I haven't renamed directory admin because in my installation have same name
In point two, I have correctly uploaded the files into respective directories, but I haven't seen istruction for installing database.

My testing installation of zencart work fine and I've installed other external modules that it work fine (eBay Exporter, CrossSell and Apsona-Shop-Admin).

I've re downloaded Easy Populate and remaked the installation, but it don't work.
I don't see any item "Easy Populate" in tool (Strumenti in italian) menù!

Thanks for help :)

This is no doubt your problem.
