Guest Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 the documentation states it goes into the admin folder, the only side on catalog is a temp folder with 777 permissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 okay that works. so i have the store at www.bookwormannex.com/index.php and easypopulate at www.bookwormannex.com/easypopulate.php I have a /temp/ folder and when i try to upload i get this Warning: move_uploaded_file(DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT/temp/sample_output_file.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/easypopulate_functions.php on line 32 Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpGW3LnY' to 'DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT/temp/sample_output_file.txt' in /var/www/html/easypopulate_functions.php on line 32 File uploaded. Temporary filename: /tmp/phpGW3LnY User filename: sample_output_file.txt Size: 80290 Warning: file(DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT/temp/sample_output_file.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/easypopulate.php on line 651 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/easypopulate.php on line 674 the temp directory has permissions set to allow anybody to write to it. what does setting the permissions to 777 mean, how do i do that. is that my problem?

Guest Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 your easypopulate.php needs to be in the admin. and since you have no catalog folder, you will need to change your temp folder location in the easypopulate.php file. please read the documentation which comes along with the contribution. it is only one page long yet it answers the majority of the problems people have in getting it to work.

Khun Marcel Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 (edited) Hi, Uh... getting more confused here :( First you state: Marcel, once you are in your admin area, type in easypopulate.php in your browser, ie http://domain.com/catalog/easypopulate.php and see what happens. But then in the previous post here you say: your easypopulate.php needs to be in the admin. The file loads when using http://domain.com/admin/easypopulate.php (although it times out), but not when using http://domain.com/catalog/easypopulate.php Marcel Edited June 28, 2004 by Khun Marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 my fault i meant to say admin/easypopulate, as the last few people keep trying to install the program in the catalog folder. some people just dont like to read the documentation which solves majority of the problems.

Khun Marcel Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 some people just dont like to read the documentation which solves majority of the problems. Hi, Agree, but I did read the manual and it did not solve my problem :( Anyway, my friend has decided that he no longer wants to use EasyPopulate after reading quite a few posts here from people who are having problems with it. Guess that means I don't have to bother solving this problem anymore. Convenient for me, but not really my prefered outcome. Thanks for the help anyway.

Guest Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 if you read the docs, then you would have seen where you need to install the program and also what properties need to be set as well as how to set the temp folder in easy populate. one big thing he will be missing out on is the froogle which is generated from easy populate. there are not many problems with ep, if you read back through here, just mistakes on installation, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulgroz Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hi all, I'm installing a new site with osC, and using EP to feed the products in the DB. We also want to use it to maintain prices, categories,... Now I seem to remember from an older test installation that when one changes the category in which a product is in the file, EP will behave nicely and change the category for that product on the site. When I try that with the new site, EP creates the link to put the product in the new category, but doesn't delete the old link pointing to the old category. :-( If I made a fault in one category name and change it, EP will create the new one, but not delete the old one, nor remove the products from it. Is that by design ? Have I dreamt the old behaviour ? Or is it a bug in EP or my install ? Thanks, -- R?mi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 are you changing the category starting from the top, or sub categories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulgroz Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I change sub categories. I noticed the behaviour when I changed a misspelled sub-category, reuploaded, and saw that the old one was there and all products were in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAPAKAH Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Mr. John, I have the same problem as jOker and warminspirations, upload the files without errors but they do not appear. I am playing around with it on my own machine, so i am thninking maybe something with the chmod 777, how do I set that kind of permission on the folder ? again it is on local host. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 on localhost, right click on the catalog/temp folder and uncheck the read only setting. what is your path setting for your catalog in your configure.php file? does your temp in easy populate match?

magicproshop Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 (edited) I am recieving the follow error when trying to upload. I somewhat know what the problem is but I do not know how to fix it. Could anyone offer a hand? I added a retail price & cost field (two seperate fields). This is what has throw things off.

normd Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 For some reason EP puts prices in the Gross instead of Net field and for some reason I do not understand OSC is deducting my taxes to get the net price. I have only one tax zone, but I am not sure if that is a prob. Any suggestion on how to use EP with taxes? I'd hate to reload all my prices.

normd Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Never mind. Found the solution a few pages back. Edit the easypopulate.php file //**** Price includes tax? **** // Set the v_price_with_tax to // 0 if you want the price without the tax included // 1 if you want the price to be defined for import & export including tax. global $price_with_tax; $price_with_tax =false; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAPAKAH Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 on localhost, right click on the catalog/temp folder and uncheck the read only setting.what is your path setting for your catalog in your configure.php file? does your temp in easy populate match? ok, done that! you mean the root? 'DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', 'c:/program files/easyphp1-7/www/os/' yeah it matches, in EP.php catalog/temp/ tried to upload again, still doesnt appear anywhere.... :blink: what to do, what to do.

Guest Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 in ep it needs to be /catalog/temp/ i dont use it on localhost, so you may need to put in c:/prog...... you should have made a folder named web then put your store in there, this way you are not messing up your program files directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 you did an upload of the products or? explain your steps all the way. usually most people upload a file which goes beyond the 300 item limit, thus ep needs to 'split' the file for you, into smaller files. it then creates new files named something different and then you need to use import file from the temp folder.

John, looks like maybe you will be able to help me. 1st i did not modify any of the fields in EP (just blindly saved the file as .txt (tab)) and trying to import. How do I and where do I modify which categories (name, description, image location) will i have for my products? 2nd I've read that i should have product model # in my file... (what is that? how do i include it in? should i just make a column in excell with product model #?) 3rd i think that is all i am missing. anything else?

Guest Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 once you install easy populate, you need to download a sample file, you can not blindly try to upload something without knowing what is going where. create one of your own products manually through the admin section, then download your easy populate file, see how your product went in, then follow that sample and inport your file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
