tzinck Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 that is where you need to start. download a sheet from your store. use that for your template. fill in one line.once you get one line to import, then the rest should be a piece of cake. (by one line i mean one product,) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is exactely what I have done. I even tried to upload the sample file - same thing happened. Do you have any idea where I go wrong ?

Guest Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 go to your store admin, tools, server info and search for document_root then open your admin/includes/configure.php and look for document root there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trap Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Hello All I have EP working and I have to say it is a lifesaver. I have now decided to offer download files etc but I am having difficulties bringing my download Files, Expiry dates and Maximum download count into the EP file. It is bringing in the attributes eg size value etc fine, but not the filename etc needed for the download. I have read page after page in this thread, however I have yet to find out what I must be doing wrong. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards Trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepiedog Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 EP keeps timing out for me. I have over 3000 products and many have attributes. I have seen it referenced to turn attributes off - but can not find the instructions to do this. (I am assuming at this point that it is the attributes making ep time out) Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 look in the easypopulate.php file where you can turn attributes on/off. you can also set specific ones to download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolguy Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I got easy populate populating attributes perfectly. When the setting is off in Easy Populate.php there is no problem, but I need them on. The problem I am facing is Easy populate is ignoring the SORT order of the attributes when we upload, whatever the sort order of a attribute is easypopulate is resetting it to '0'. I am still looking for a way on how to stop this sort order destruction :) I am working with like 350 products on a test site and I am manually updating sort order for attributes every time I upload or change them :( very painful though ;) help is appreciated.

Guest Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) Help! I found that the easypopulate.php script is not getting the download and dltype attribute from the http request into $download and $dltype variables. As a result, my $download and $dltype is always empty. Do u have the problem? Which part of the code is suppose to read the http attributes and put it into $download and $dltype?

Guest Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 what is your temp file setting in your easypopulate.php file? what is your document_root setting in your admin/includes/configure.php file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiveuk Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I have installed EP wich operates fine. My only problems are:- 1) I need to link to my suppliers web site. 2) I need to link to my suppliers image. All of this needs to be done through EP. I am not too sure how to go about this. Good instructions are needed to help me sort this one - no quick one liners! Your help would be most appreciated. Regards Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 you have to get your info from your vendors first, prior to being able to do anything with ep. how are they going to provide the data? will it be in db or csv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend107 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 VJ, great work w/ ep and added features attributes... thank you it works great!... just wondering if anyone was successfull in using css inline or internal (external not an option) for their description.. i had to revert back to old html w/o the " " and had to turn on (escape character conversion) .. if i hadnt, problems uploading to the db would result in nothing happening at all or sumn displayed w/ showing [TEP STOP] etc...... but all in all.. this contribution is top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
