Easy Populate & Products Attributes

hi all,

 

i have just installed EP and at first all seemed to be well. i have downloaded a Model/Price/Qty tab-delimited .txt file to edit and changed one of my prices then uploaded it.

When i upload it i get the message;

 

File uploaded.

Temporary filename: /tmp/phpi5E5lu

User filename: EP2005May06-0808.txt

Size: 134

 

 

but....the price hasn't changed on the website? any ideas?

i thought mabey since there are no errors it is a simply thing that is not quite right.

 

when i downloaded the .txt file in the first place, i open with excel and chose the following options,

Deliminated file, Tab and semicolon deliminated, test qualifier " (default), colum date format 'general'

 

any thoughts.

 

Thank you.

pete

did you create the temp directory per the documentation with the proper file permissions?

yup!

 

all acess/execute/read

 

- also i dont think i would have got the 'file uploaded' message if this was the prob...would i? :blink:

Just added the files and installed it on a test site.

tried to upload one of the demo txt files that was provided and keep getting this error:

Hi all. I've scoured every page of this thread, as well as easypopulate.php and its instructions, and it is still not clear to me where to uncomment in order to use EasyPopulate with an image mod. (I have the Big Images mod installed, incidentally).

 

Would someone please take the time to explain what needs to be uncommented? Or in the alternative, would someone post their functioning easypopulate.php which has been modified to allow the use of an image mod?

 

Thank you greatly!

should the address have 2 catalog folders in it?

 

try opening easypopulate.php and alter

 

$tempdir = "/catalog/temp/";

 

to

 

$tempdir = "/temp/";

As an afterthought... this issue has been asked numerous times in this thread, with no clear answer given. Does this mean it's one of those dumbass questions that everyone just skims over?

you have a document_root problem in your configure.php, use this:

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT);

 

should the address have 2 catalog folders in it?

 

try opening easypopulate.php and alter

 

$tempdir = "/catalog/temp/";

 

to

 

$tempdir = "/temp/";

so are you going to be uploading/downloading customer names with this all the time?

adding a field to ep just find where you want to insert the field in the code and test . .

your field names need to match what you have in the database, easiest thing to do is add them after v_products_image and/or products_image

Hi!

 

I have problem with downloading "Complete tab-delimited .txt file".

I have ~1000 products and ~60 attributes.

 

I think this is too big database to download, or put it in the TEMP directory.

:'( and maybe timed out the server.

 

I cant SET TIME LIMIT, becouse the server is in SAFE MODE.

 

Any idae to solve my problem? :(

edit easypopulate.php and download certain options at a time, until you have everything downloaded.

 

best bet is to get another host where you are not in safe mode.

Thank you for answer.

But, how can i set up the options number?

(Or set from-to, like: from 0-30, from 31-60 etc..)... to download the smallest db?

 

:blush:

I have spent many days looking through all the posts but do not appear to have found a post that answers my question (although I have found some that asks the same question)

 

I have many contributions inc Admin with user levels

 

In the admin page I have the link to the easypopulate page but when I click one of the links to create a file to be downloaded it just goes straight back to the admin login and does not create a file in the temp dir.

 

tempdir \temp\

the dir has write permision

 

its on a win 2000 server

 

 

could someone please point me in the right direction

David
