Excel Import upload problem

[maialee]

I'm trying to use the MS Excel Import contribution. I created the Excel file, saved it as CSV, everything seems to be installed correctly... when I go to upload the file, I get an error message:

 

"No products_model field in record or incorrect root for category. I cannot import this record!"

 

I do have the correct category code and I don't undertstand what "Root!" is supposed to be, but I've tried 1, 2 and others. Please help me!

try the easypopulate contribution instead. Not sure if the few "excel" contributions are up to snuff or have kept up with recent versions of Osc. I know easypopulate has....

OK, this is weird. I installed Easy Populate, uploaded the database and I get this error:

 

"No products_model field in record. This line was not imported"

 

I used the Easy Populate database, with product model field first. It is all done as instructed. Any idea why this is happening? It could be a dumb and obvious mistake on my part, as I am rather new to php.

 

Thank you!

Hi I have the same problem with easy populate

No products_model field in record. This line was not imported

On my linux server it works fine also with easyphp on Windows it works fine. But I have this message on my provider. I think it has something to do with security settings on the php of the Server.

There most contributions do not work, like Image Ultra, 6 additional Images etc

I afraid this contributions has to be fexed to fit the securitiy standars or I have to change to a unsave provider :-)

I'm just putting products in page by page. It's really not that much different from putting them into an Excel file, actually. Ths way, I can preview each time and make sure each page is right, so I'm kind of glad these Excel import contributions didn't work out.
