exporting product data

I need to export my data so that it has defined headers so that our company can decipher what the information is in the file.

I recently exported our products and products descriptions from the database, at the top half of the csv file is products, at the bottom is descriptions, but this format seems to be in 2 parts, I need 1 connected data table that has products & product descriptions all lined up nicely so I can import it into another inventory system we have here...

~ any suggestions on how to export this way? I used phpmyadmin before

thanks

Have you tried EZ Populate???

Download available from the "Free Add Ons" Tab above works with 1.3.8a

There are two mods available for EZ Populate - one with attribute fields and one without.

thanks for the quick reply... I cannot find it, I have searched the free ad ons...

nothing there listed EZ Populate...

are you talking about:
Easy Populate Free - from langer / modhole ?

that says only up to 1.3.6 and I don't think that is what you mean. can you please send a link?

Tina,

I tried this one:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=460

but I download it and there are only 2 texts files, no php files in the zip

this one:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=395

I would try but I don't think it is compatible with 1.3.8a

I want to extract product information.

How is this installed? I downloaded easy_populate_from_osc_2-77H, but it had only 1 file: easypopulate.php

How is this installed? I downloaded easy_populate_from_osc_2-77H, but it had only 1 file: easypopulate.php

I figured this out. I missed a line of instructions on the download page. The previous version had to be installed first the latest is just and updated file.

Can someone translate this from the Easy Populate From osc module?

define('TEXT_SELECT_DOWNLOAD1', 'Direkter Download');
define('TEXT_SELECT_DOWNLOAD2', 'Erstellen, dann Download');
define('TEXT_SELECT_DOWNLOAD3', 'Erstellen in temp-Verzeichnis');

I forgot all of my Dutch from highschool (of is that German?).

Why not use the zen cart version. There is a copy of the easy populate in the download section, or you can buy the full version from the Zen cart developer website.

I got the Easy Populate From osc module installed successfully, so there's no reason to install the other one. I didn't know what differences there were, I just installed the first one that I came across.

The free one defines the product based on the model number, The one you can buy edit the products based on product Id or product model. If you are like me some of my products don't have a model number so using the free one caused some products to link to another. With the paid one you can add products based on product id so you not have a linking problem.
