hro2u Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 interesting. someone complained about not getting all languages with the categories. I see, Ok let me share my experience, true is that the extraction from the database wont give you a table/column for (in my case) the second language. However by entering the productname (table/column for productname and product description is included in the extracted .txt-file) the product is also registred for the second language. It might ofcourse have been more crystalclear if categories for extra languages were included. The only thing I have encountered as a bit odd is that when I upload, Easypopulate in admin claims that there is no productmodel enetered and that the data is not imported, I have productmodel for every product and it is also imported to the database and each product. Conclusion: for me it all works as intended and described. Regards, Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means Easypopulate has finished his job importing new products: when it reaches a line with no model number, it tells him to stop. that's it, nothing wrong with that (except maybe the way it's presented and confuses the users who didn't read the manual ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboden@cisco.com Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hello, I have installed EasyPopulate 2.76d-MS2 on OSC 2.2-MS2 and am having a small problem loading up new products. I have several products listed under a category. When loaded, the first line is added as a new product within the category and all is good. Subsequent lines merely update the first, instead of adding in as new products. I have even taken the output of a a particular category from a good database and when imported into a fresh database, the same behavior occurs.Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the contribution! If I can get it to work it will save huge amounts of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 HELLO... I am trying Easy Populate for the first time... The Download went like a piece of cake..not even one small glitch. After (trying) to follow all the instructions and saving a Text (Tab Deliminated) file, these are the errors I am getting when trying to import. I have set for excel safe etc and change Document_Root to $Document_Root THEN back as it did no good... This is a STOCK install of oscommerce-2.2ms2-060817 and easy populate : EP_v2_76d_MS2 I am sure I am not doing something right but thought I would ask for some help before I beat myself to a bloody mess.... I have replaced my actual URL with x's but have NOT changed the number of characters or slashes or anything pertaining to the actual layout... Suggestions and places to look or questions to be answered would really be appreciated... I am set up and ready to import a nice 200-250 item test inventory... oh and I did autopopulate the first field.. MANY THANKS ! SteveRF..

Guest Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Concering the configure.php under admin... Everything in the store works as expected... The only change I noted that shoud be made prior to running easy populate was to change DOCUMENT_ROOT to $DOCUMENT_ROOT I did this but may have done it incorrectly... I will get a pice of the code and paste it here... ORIGINAL CODE: define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/xxxxxx/homepages/12/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/SRF_TEST/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server Changed To: define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '$DOCUMENT_ROOT'); // where the pages are located on the server Maybe I did not do this correctly ?

Guest Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hugh, The database download into a csv file was perfect.

Guest Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hugh, Something is working now.... I had an apostrophe in front of and behind $DOCUMENT_ROOT I removed and while I am writing this there seems to be file upload progress but SLOW SLOW.... blank browser screena nd progress bar at bottom about 1/2 way across... Seems I remember reading something about creating an INDEX for that Model Number in MySQL... speeding thisgs up... I only have about 30 items here now so am waiting to see if browser times out with an error or just fails again.... earlier, I was getting immediate errors..
