Easy Populate & Products Attributes

[fborille]

Hi guys,

 

i'm planning to install easy populate on my store, but really don't know wich version should i get..

 

i read alot of messages here and saw a few bugs, but i don't have separete price per customer or other contribs like this installed.

 

Can someone point me wich one to get ??

 

i saw in the contribs download area: DON'T GET THIS, GET THIS, GET XYZ ...

 

so i'm really confused.

 

... Hope to get a quickly answer :D ... have 2,000+ products awaiting :)

What you can do is provide more information about the error :-)

I have installed EP 2.76 on my computer and it seems fine. When I try to upload EP file I get the following msg:

 

File uploaded.

Temporary filename: C:\www\\tmp\phpBC.tmp

User filename: EP2006Sep02-0012.txt

Size: 730

 

That's fine. However when I tried to upload to my online server, I get the following error msg:

 

Forbidden

 

You don't have permission to access /catalog/admin/easypopulate.php on this server.

 

I tested with stock OSC MS2.2 with EP mod installed only.

 

Below is my setting of the admin/config

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', '');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false'); // secure webserver for catalog module

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/var/www/html/); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/www/html/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/html/catalog/'); // absolute path required

 

and below is my setting of temp folder in easypopulate.php:

 

$tempdir = "/eStore/temp/";

$tempdir2 = "/eStore/temp/";

 

Please help!

I think you need to seriously focus on your configure.php files, and work on a server, not in local

[Benjjj6]

All i get is this

 

Updated

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's right on the dot. Contact your MAC supplier for information on headset com' at line 11

 

INSERT INTO products_description (products_id, language_id, products_name, products_description, products_url) VALUES ( '149', 1, 'PLANTRONICS Audio 90 Headset', '

 

the "right on the dot. Contact your MAC supplier for information on headset" is actually from my item description :blink:

Hi Everyone

Im having problems with EP when trying to generate a file to download from my OsC database. Im running a large store, with something like 2000 products (that i uploaded using EP). I?ve already increased set_time_limit(), it really increased the time it takes to execute the script (im on a shared server but with safe_mode off) but finally, it fails with no errors, i just get a blank page. EP version is 2.76c-MS2. Any solution??

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Sebastian

It is probably because the EP uses extra image fields that you don;t have installed.

you need to comment these fields in the EP file to make them inactive.

[Benjjj6]

i tried to do what you said although i know very little about php, how do i comment these fields and what fields are they? I even reinstalled oscommerce and EP but still get the same error

[everyth5]

I have set up a localhost site from scratch and installed a few other needed contributions. The last one I did was EasyPopulate and it went well. The only thing is that when I go to Admin, it doesn't do anything.

 

I have added 2 items to one catagory and tried to download a full db to edit but it doesn't do ANYTHING. I have also tried to upload my db from my live site but it doesn't work either.

 

The temp folder is in catalog and I cannot make it 777 for some reason either. I have tried several methods including going into DOS and trying to force the attribute but it remains Read Only. Anyone have any ideas on this?

 

What could the problem be???

 

I have gone over the installation step by step to confirm I didn't miss anything.

 

Thanks

In yoru EP file, look for:

 

global $separator;
if (EP_DELIMITER == '\t') {
 $separator = "\t"; // oscommerce stores escaped delimeters in mySQL as a string and not an actual tab.
} else {
$separator = EP_DELIMITER;
}

 

and above it, add:

 

define (EP_DELIMITER, '\t');

[hongbiaoke]

WOW! Thanks a bunch! Another question, how do I define this? and where?

 

Import catalog's file from directory EP_TEMP_DIR :

 

Creation catalog's and Froogle's file in the directory EP_TEMP_DIR :

 

thanks again :D

regarding this, you probably forgot to ulpload the language file of easypopulate. (read the instaructions again)

 

in admin>includes>languages>english

 

you should have a file called easypopulate.php that looks like:

 

<?php

you will notice that the EP_TEMP_DIR is the last line

don't forget to create a directory called tmp in your catalog root and CHMOD it to 777

I am starting to use oscommerce 2.2ms2 and have installed a few contribs so far and done a few modifications myself. I have read back a little into this thread but it's huge! I would like to know which version of EP to install and if there are any modifications I will need to make.

 

Please, can someone help me?

 

Thanks,

I really depends on what mods you have installed. I use myself a 3.0 without any problems, but had to modify it for my mods (customs metatags and more pics). Customizing it is not to difficult is not too difficult if you understand the oscommerce logic, but can be challenging if you are a beginner.

Yes I have found some of it easy and some of it hard. I only started with this about a weekago but have managed to get it working with the ipn 3.1.5 and a few other contribs. I am still a long way off having all the features I need for this shop so envisage a long haul to the end (will it ever end? who knows for sure).

 

I will have been adding my products using the admin which, to be honest, is not all that bad. It takes a long time but it gets the job done.

 

I would like to be able to show more pics too.. like have 1 large and 2 small which are switchable with a click on a smaller one. What meta tags modifications have you made?

 

Thanks for your reply, I hope you get back to me again. :)

That's great. Thank you very much.

I have set up a localhost site from scratch and installed a few other needed contributions. The last one I did was EasyPopulate and it went well. The only thing is that when I go to Admin, it doesn't do anything.

 

I have added 2 items to one catagory and tried to download a full db to edit but it doesn't do ANYTHING. I have also tried to upload my db from my live site but it doesn't work either.

 

The temp folder is in catalog and I cannot make it 777 for some reason either. I have tried several methods including going into DOS and trying to force the attribute but it remains Read Only. Anyone have any ideas on this?

 

What could the problem be???

 

I have gone over the installation step by step to confirm I didn't miss anything.

 

Thanks

 

Kelvin

 

Still having troubles with this one. Can anyone help me?

 

Thanks

I'm running into trouble. As you've probably heard before, "I'm certain I haven't changed anything" on my modified version of EasyPopulate 3.00 since it was last working.

 

When I try to "Download Complete tab-delimited" or "Create Complete tab-delimited" files, instead of the previous successful behavior, I'm prompted to save the .php file. If I do so and examine it, it's of zero size. This only happens when both 'download' and 'dltype' are set. I can provide diffs if needed.

The only thing I can think of that's changed is that the number of items in my catalog has grown significantly (to around 5000).

 

This may be a server problem, like the content-type headers not being set correctly. Has anyone seen something like this before?

Simple problem: products_attributes had gotten too bloated, and the code was dying while trying the "// EP Optimization - SETUP ATTRIBUTES ARRAY - START" code.
