Guest Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Seems that Easy pop has nuked my dates.. they all show as 'This product was added to our catalog on .' The causes havoc with the 'New Products' box also (modded to use added date. ANy known probs/quick fixes? Next 'issue' is if we add items to the site via admin, DL EP file and then add a number to the items 'product_model', apon UL the EP file, the item is added again intot he system due to the it thinking that beacuse its assigned a product_model number or ID, its a different/new item. Its a PITA to have to manually delete the orginal items. I know heaps of people are using EP, whats the solution? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm having this same problem so would also love to know the solution. :-) I did look at the easy pop contrib support area but couldn't find an answer.

Jack_mcs Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The format of the date has to be yyyy-mm-dd. Excel won't save this format so everytime you save a file, oyu have to set the format. There is a way to do this by changing the default system format but I've never felt comfortable doing that knowing how some programs rely on certain formats being set.
