easy populate problem

[Guest]

Hello,

 

when trying to import a db from easy populate i get this error

 

204X4 EVOLUTION (CD-r)... ERROR! - Too many characters in the model number.

12 is the maximum on a standard OSC install.

Your maximum product_model length is set to 15

You can either shorten your model numbers or increase the size of the field in the database.

 

where can i change these characters, i have looked all though the admin area.

I even went into the db itself and increased the model number to 64 characters still i get this error.

 

Please help i have over 1000 products to add!

Hi Justin,

 

I just recently had this problem and the solution was easy.

 

In the products table the model # field is set to 12 characters. I just increased it using phpadmin to 30 characters ( or whatever size is suitable for you ) and whalah, all is well.

Sorry I forgot one thing...

 

There is also a setting in the easy populate php file that must be set.

 

It simply matches the size of your model number field.

So set it to 30 if that is the field size for example..

 

cheers, Dave
