Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

pixelpadre:

You are correct. Try the other versions.

Thanks :cheers:

Sorry for question (maybe was made): when my product have price with attributes, I export it (product and attributes) but when import it the price is 0.
Looks this: http://www.100asa.it/rotolo-etichette-50x24x1900-p-416.html and then http://www.grandufficio.com/rotolo-etichette-50x24x1900-p-416.html
I hope I'm clear. Thanks for reply

Hi guys,
I have installed Easypopulate (for the second time - it worked fine on another site a couple of years ago).
This time, all seemed well. I created one product, downloaded the csv file, added another 63 products to that file and re-uploaded. I get all the right signals - upload complete, file contents listed on Easypopulate page etc - but no products appearing on the site.
Tried installing the SQL patch via Tools but apparently it was already there.
What could be going wrong? Have read through this thread but can't get an answer.
Thanks...

Maybe a clue - the uploaded file is not appearing in the temp directory either. I have fixed the permissions to 777.

IGNORE THIS! It's there. Sorry. But still no products on the site.

hi .Is there anybody can help to solve this problem ?

Is there anybody can help told me what happen and how can i download my Complete tab-delimited .txt again .thanks

you must add one item to your store using the traditional method. After that you can use easy pop

If anyone's interested, I found what I did wrong - I didn't have "EOREOR" at the end of each record, just the first one. So it was only uploading the first record each time.

Hi There,

I bought Easy Populate yesterday (the latest version) and I have uploaded everything as it said and I can see everything from the Tools option and the admin section.

But what I am having trouble with is uploading new product and changing products.

I have already 2000+ products online which were manually uploaded, zen cart version is 1.3.8 (not the latest version yet) but whenever i upload there are no problems and it even says that "priceQty_100517_09394.txt successfully uploaded to server" but when i go to the live site there are no changes.

Each product has the "EOREOR" but still this isn't working.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Warm Regards,
Kev

Ok i installed ep to web and was zooming through items adding them right and left then as requested by zen cart I should rename admin file so i did and then all heck went wrong with ep I get

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

Thinking file upload was to big i down to just 2 products and same thing. I tried to uninstall ep to reinstall and get

Easy Populate support & development by langer. Donations are always appreciated to support continuing development: [email protected]
Success Installation Successful! A full download of your store has been done and is available in your uploads (temp) directory. You can use this as your 1st template for uploading/updating products.
Success File Full-EP2010May26-0505.txt successfully exported! The file is ready for download in your /temp/ directory.

But in reality i am back to the beginning of connection interruption and if I follow as i did above this message i get same messages as before. Can anyone get me advise on what happen by just changing admin folder name..

Are you using EP 1.2.5.4... or the Commercially available version?

using EP_v1.2.5.4

using EP_v1.2.5.4

as too my preveous help i asked for looks like i can Download EP and Froogle Files and Create EP and Froogle Files in Temp Dir (temp/) but get the errors when only i go to insert into db again i am using EP_v1.2.5.4

i use /webspace/httpdocs/tempEP i think that is the defult , make sure you have chmod set to 777 or atleast 766 for the folder

I am trying to upload from my vendors csv file. using all the current versions of the software 1.3b and 1.2.5.5,

i got everything working but the Manufactuer field. it always comes up blank on the website.
i added the manuf to ZenCart, i checked that they exactly the same.

I am running out of ideas.

Any suggestions?

I have an EP file that does not reflect the actual inventory count. There are linked products in the store from where the file was downloaded. Does EP include an identical item twice; once for each category it's listed in? I'm thinking this is what is happening but would like clarification so I know for sure this is what is going on.

is there a way to add a new download to easy populate?? my product numbers are just numbers ie 1234, i would like a download for product number/product name/price only simulate to what you get as standard but with product name as well

I would suggest Apsona ShopAdmin, which IMHO does a better job with these kinds of tasks.

txcharms Changing the admin folder name should not impact on EP at all, EP really only connects to the database and reads a .txt file and inserts/deletes/updates each product in that file. The name of the admin folder has no baring as EP working and sits within that folder which can be called anything you would like. I would suggest it is a hosting issue if everything have been working OK. Cheap hosts do put limits on memory usage and this maybe the issue.

stantcb Firstly I would use version 1.2.5.4, as other versions have several bugs, if you search the forum you will see there is a thread for your version 1.2.5.5 who may be able to help as this is support for version 1.2.5.4.

buildingblocks EP works by inserting an product which has a unique model name/number (ie bag_of_sugar) in the 'products' table. From that the products_id is listed in the 'products_to_categories' table, so you could have the same product listed in several categories.

in the 'products' table :
bag_of_sugar > products_id = 1

in the  'products_to_categories' table it would be :
products_id = 1 categories_id = 1
products_id = 1 categories_id = 2
products_id = 1 categories_id = 3
products_id = 1 categories_id = 4

So you will see it is the same product for all the categories, EP is just inserting/linking the product to the category. So if you update bag_of_sugar in category 1 it will update all the categories the same. So if you are just updating the product you do not need to have all four in the .txt just one.

kitcorsa Sorry can you explain a little more? Where do you get the product name from if you just use numbers ? Please give an example.
