Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

With a brief glance I'd say it can be implemented by adding fields to EZpop. I say this by only looking at the free zen download. Hopefully these two links are same file.

I will look at it more closely Monday if it takes me ten minutes or less I will do it then and add it to the ez pop I have in the downloads section so it can have ongoing support for you as things change with zen. If it's a PIA then that's a different story.

Fantastic Jimmy :clap:, now if you can also add in the cost pricing field while your at modifying from mod http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=278 and Your really going to be a super star.

Whatever you can modify is appreciated

JimmyV:

Easier would likely be an image ftp and also a db copy of the relevant tables which would be pretty easy to do especially since the thing is an exact dup.

For that matter if it truly is a dup db then you could probably drop the entire table and then import the "other" working one into the "new" build.

Thanks Jimmy :)

I understand what you mean by this, but I'm not sure where to find the 'relevant tables'.

Are you able to point me to the correct files to copy please?

Thanks again,
Tija

You do not need to do anything with files except load images in your images file. You need to do a db drop and copy. The related tables in your zencart db are categories and categories_descriptions.

You need to use a db admin panel your host provides to alter/edit this area to mass import the data you want imported.

Its a catch 22 you can't ez pop data that has not been configured someplace. At some point we all have to do the mindless data entry to get our initial setup done. This may be the case in your situation.

Also try this thread. I have not really read it but it does cover your possible need. Looks somewhat dubious so I don't know that I'd go this route myself as nothing is as easy as it appears.

Yeah why don't you just tack on a few more. I will look at it.

"Once you have installed & configured Easy Populate, go to Tools -> "Easy Populate" in Zen Cart admin"

I installed & configured it, but there's no Easy Pop link in my tools menu in the cart admin. Any thoughts?

KathyM,

Which version of EP did you load up?

Version 1.2.5.4 is the most stable version.

Thanks for the reply! I have 1.2.5.4. Maybe I should try to re-install, in case I got something wrong.

Def double check that all the files are loaded into admin area as even if you did it wrong the link would show. So likely you missed a file.

Woohoo, success! Thanks for the support--so much seems so over my head....

I'm trying to include Specials Price in download for a category. I downloaded the "Custom" from the pull down menu in the box but no checkbox available for Specials.

I read online that Price/Qty includes Specials price but it does not.

Tried downloading the Complete from the blue links to see what would happen but it just processed for a long time and then kicked me out.

Is there an easy way, or even a way, to include the Specials Price in the download, preferable for a specific category?

Thanks!

v_specials_price is one of the core included ezpop columns. Perhaps you do not have the proper start and or expiration date associated with your special?

We don't enter start and stop dates for our specials. We leave the date fields blank because we don't have set dates for "sale" of a particular product.

Is that the problem?

Just want to clarify my last post further which read:

"We don't enter start and stop dates for our specials. We leave the date fields blank because we don't have set dates for "sale" of a particular product.

Is that the problem?"

I know how to Upload specials price, just can't get it to be included in the download. Want to take a category, including specials price, from one site to another.

nfallat,

Which version of EP are you using? 1.2.5.4?

I just moved my EP file to another server and the specials copied over. I do not have a start or end date involved.

You mentioned the "Custom" pull down, but where did that come from?

By just downloading from the original site and looking at your EP file you should see the v_specials_price has a listing.

Easy Populate Advance2.76d-mod3b Zen-Cart 1.3.8 but soon upgrading to 1.3.9e.

What I mean by "custom" is the pull down menu in the box:

Direkter Download and the pull-down menu. Checking the boxes. No box for specials price.

So I go to the blue links below and try and still nothing brings over "specials" except the Froogle thing but can't do by category and then it does not inlude BOTH` original price AND specials price. Froogle thing shows original price, unless there is a special. When I say "special" I'm talking about the product-by-product $ - insert special price.

Download: Complete tab-delimited .txt file to edit.txt to edit
Download: Model/Price/Qty tab-delimited .txt file to edit.txt to edit
Download: Model/Category tab-delimited .txt file to edit.txt to edit
Download: Froogle tab-delimited .txt file.txt to edit
Download: Model/Attributes tab-delimited .txt file.txt to edit

I have never used that build and it certainly looks pretty darn old like 3 years old... plus its a pay service so ask them...

I'd go to the free downloads section and get a more recent EZ Pop that does the things you need and this specials issue would be irrelevant as none of the current builds in that area would pose any issue for your problem.

i dun know how to say it, but its appearing 2 times for some reason, anyone can help? i thought it was model problem but it does not seem like it.

I originally posted this in another area and no one came up with a solution so I am trying in this thread.

I have two stores, both using version 1.3.9d. I use EP 1.2.5.4 to populate and update prices, inventory, etc.

I download an inventory update daily from my supplier. I set up three columns in my spreadsheet, v_products_model, v_products_quantity, EOREOR, and upload those three columns to my sites.

For some reason my prices(v_products_price) are also being changed without having a column for them in the upload. Both stores doing the same thing.

The prices are increasing by 7% each time I update quantities. I think it may be related to the 7% tax rate(FL) I have set. I just recently changed the status on all items to "taxable goods".
I think this started when I changed status. I don't recall any problems prior to the change.

Why is this happening and what can I do?

I've gotten around the problem by uploading a file with just the correct prices after I update the inventory, but I should not have to do that.

thanks
