oxwivi Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Just uploaded EP files, and now following rest of the installation instructions. I don't understand how the line in STEP #3 fits in the file: STEP #3 - Add a link in the Admin Panel. Edit file "/catalog/admin/incudes/boxes/catalog.php" Find this code (Around Line 25): '' . BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . '' . Directly AFTER add this: 'Easy Populate' . The relevant lines in the my catalog.php looks like this: array( 'code' => FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, 'title' => BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES) ), Do I simply do this? array( 'code' => FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, 'title' => BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, 'Easy Populate' . 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES) ), I don't think it fits into the array pattern or whatever it's called.

oxwivi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 By the way, I'm guessing I won't need to do steps #4 and #5 since I'm using osC 2.3.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥geoffreywalton Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If you are installing a contribution no around 500, you are installing the wrong version, look for the 2.3.1 version Cheers G Quote Need help installing add ons/contributions, cleaning a hacked site or a bespoke development, check my profile Virus Threat Scanner My Contributions Basic install answers.

oxwivi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If you are installing a contribution no around 500, you are installing the wrong version, look for the 2.3.1 version Ah! The original addon page was updated recently (and showed up at top of the search), so I assumed it's compatible with 2.3.1. Good thing I only uploaded the files and not modify anything.

♥geoffreywalton Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi You need to start reading the install documentation and just doing what it says. It has proably worked for thousands of others and if you need to do anything apart from what they say the instructions would have been changed by now. You don't want to get a rep as a help vulture. If you keep back up copies then you can restore and try again. If it doesn't work then post.

oxwivi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm doing everything according to the docs. And in the example given (as quoted in my last post), the indentation of the existing lines and the lines I am to add was different, hence the confusion. But examining the file to edit, I understood how it should be. Thanks for the pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxwivi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 How do I add more than one image to a product? The exported file contains no reference to the 'larger image' added to a product using the regular way. The only references to more images to add in the documentation is the Additional Images Contribution, something for osC 2.2 I believe. Can we make it work for the now-built in ability to show more images per product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxwivi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Setting large images support in easypopulate.php to true doesn't make any difference either: //**** Large Images osc 2.3.1 Supportg **** define ('EP_PRODUCTS_IMAGES', true); // default is false define ('EP_PRODUCTS_IMAGES_MAX', 6); // default is 6, maximum number of columns I still get only one column dedicated to the thumbnail, with no mention of other images anywhere. By the way, why do we need to define category image for every product? Kinda stupid. Empty cell for no changes would be great.

ghostrc Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hello, I am setting up a new store and am having the following error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in ....easypopulate.php on line 1082 This occurs when I click on the easy populate link in version 2.3.1 Any suggestions? I'm also getting the same error. I have not changed the easypopulate.php file - it is exactly how it was when uploaded. Not sure what I need to change? Many thanks.

apolyshow Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I ma having two issues and i need your help. First problem: Does easy populate cooperates with utf8 cause when i am downloading also the description then i am getting ?!!???!?!?!?&&&& in the field of description. In thew greek file. Second: in Big numbers like 300.000,00 euro with vat the easy populate shoes as a price 2.234.234.544 for ex . It tryes to give you the price without the vat but it understands the 223.423,4544 as a 2.234.234.544. Now if i will send this price i am sure that i am going to destroy the real price so does anyone knows something? Quote One amateur made the Arc, 5.000 pro made the Titanic...

♥geoffreywalton Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I created some product attriubutes, and corresponding columns appeared on the exported CSV. But how do I use them? Set up some products with attributes and export the file. Then you can emulate this on ne products.

dvharrison Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Also while I have your attention, I have a separate issue with the product images being fullsize on the product page. I have read in previous threads that this can be resolved using Easy Populate but on looking at the suggested contribution in the Support documentation http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1032 I realise its only for 2.2. Is there a version for 2.3.1 or even another way to get my main images to resize? Or can it still be used? Please advise. Could I ask if anyone can help? thanks.

dvharrison Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I am aware we can upload to the larger file image field, but we have about 1100-1500 images on the catalogue. please could anyone help? :sweating: Quote Debbie Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battery99 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I installed the newest version of this contribution (2.77a for osc2.3.1), and everything looks fine. However, whenever I upload my csv file to the backend (after I have created and downloaded it & then edited the file), it removes all of the html tags that I had in the .csv file, so now in my product description i don't have any breaks. Does anyone else have this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooloovoo Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi there, I have installed oscommerce in the form of the wp-online-store plugin for wordpress. The store works but this contribution does not. I have fiddled around to see what he problem is and it is this: all the links from the easyconribute page (even the documentation) goes to www.mysite.com/wp-admin/ (for example it tries to find the backup.php, the EPDocumentation and even easypopulate.php itself in mysite.com/wp-admin/ . It should look for www.mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-online-store/admin/ because that's where these files are! My php knowledge is very little but I already tried: -adjust the "define('DIR_WS_ADMIN'," in admin/includes to the correct path, but then the whole store did not work anymore -adjust every href in easypopulate.php to the right path but with no result (clicking on a "download .csv" link gave a blank page). Any help is appreciated Settings & Info EP vers: 2.77a-2.3.1 osCommerce Online Merchant v2.3 OS: Array HTTP: DB: PHP: Array (Zend: ) Temp Directory: /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/wp-content/plugins/wp-online-store/temp/ Temp Dir is Writable Magic Quotes is: off register_globals is: off Split files on: 300 records Model Num Size: 12 Price with tax: false Calc Precision: 2 Replace quotes: false Field seperator: comma Excel safe output: true Preserve tab/cr/lf: false Category depth: 7 Enable attributes: true SEF Froogle URLS: false Other Support: MVS Support: false Additional Images: false More Pics: false UltraPics Pics: false Unlimited Images: false HTC: false SPPC: false Extra Fields: true PDF Upload: false Quick Backup Enabled: true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood1e Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hi I am thinking of using this product, but when I read the instructions it mentions This is based on the Excel Upload 1.51 from dynamok. Does this mean the Excel Upload needs to be installed first? many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
