Nige Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 could be what your host has setup for files which get created/written <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OK, given that httpd is running with owner apache I can see why the file is created with that owner. I guess there some form of umask in php or apache which could be set to allow default permissions of 666 or 644 on any files created. Are there any security implications on changing this? Could anyone out there confirm what owners & permissions are being set on their created ep files in tempdir. Thanks Nige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I'm trying to add a second price on my products with EP (our price vs. retail). I uncommented out the 2 lines of code in the php file 'v_customer_price_N' 'v_customer_group_id_N' and then added these two catagories in my spread sheet and put in a price for "price" and then put in 1 for "group id" not really sure what I'm supposed to put there. But anyway, nothing is happening :huh: Am I supposed to be doing anything more? Any one have any ideas? Thanks, Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 any field you add to easypopulate needs to match with your database, else nothing will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 your actual database on the server is your real database, easy populate only pulls the information you ask it to pull down <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is there anyone that would take some time to explain this to me, I'm totally new to all of this. I'm in PHPMyAdmin, and I'm trying to add the extra price catagory in the database. I'm seeing a "products_options_values_to_products_options" catagory, and it has the options value id in it. Is this what I want? And what do I modify, Null, Deafault, Extra??? Sorry I'm so lost here, Thanks for any help Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilroy13 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I've helped someone setup a site with osc about 6 months ago, its been working pretty well. They sell a lot of products that are individual. Currently there are about 5000+ products on the site. I now want to configure easy populate for future additions and have a few issues/questions. #1 When they were adding products, they weren't doing it very standardized, so I would like to pull all the products, fix their issues, and then update the date, BUT they often used a comma in the product description, and every time this is done easy populate won't pull any info after the comma in the description (such as price info) in the delimited file. Is there any way to get around this? #2 Since i've not been adding with easy populate in the past no products have a model#. Should I just populate that column with sql? #3 I use the quanty pricing and that seems to be pulling the data correctly with the proper easy poplate file, but I'm also using a product sort order column in my products datebase, i thought I added the column everywhere it looked like it was needed in the easy populate file, but its not place the column in my delimted file, is there an "easy way" to add columns for easly populate to populate?

Cameron Pascoe Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hi All, I was wondering if anyone was working on a fix for Easypopulate with PHP5??? I have looked through all the posts here and see that more and more people are having issues with this. My Easypopulate was working wonderfully until my service provider decided to update php to version 5. I'm not a code warrior myself so wouldn't know where to start. :blink: Thanks for any help Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinh Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 $tempdir = "/shop/temp/";$tempdir2 = "/shop/temp/"; I changed catalog to shop for my site. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Still having this problem :( I've been messing around with this and nothing. Also, when I try to: Create Complete tab-delimited .txt file in temp dir It says: You can get your file in the Tools/Files under /shop/temp/EPEP2005Jan09-1301.txt When I go to look, there's nothing, even though the directory is drwxrwxrwx. Is the name of the file supposed to be the current date/time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've installed the "register_globals=off" contribution then, due to "dltype" and "download" parameters not being recognised it wouldn't create any sort of download file. The solution for me was at : "http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=108825&hl=". I didn't need point 1 of the solution but point 2 cracked the problem I was having. Nige.

Guest Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hello all... New to this EP thing, but making progress. I want to show a product with 2 different package sizes(25 count and 50 count) But each one uses a different model number. How can I display them as one product, and let them choose how many they want, and then that will put the desired model number in the cart? I know about the product attributes, but to my knowledge your stuck with only one model #, Hope that makes sense... Thanks, Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 you cant use ep for displaying one product but it is meant for two, you will need to use attributes. unless someone knows another way . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'm having issues with my image sizes. using EP STS and osC2.2 Here are my image properties: Small Image Width 100 Small Image Height Info Heading Image Width 60 Info Heading Image Height Info Subcategory Image Width 57 Info Subcategory Image Height Info Calculate Image Size true Info Image Required false Info The problem is that my images are the same small size where ever the products are displayed. If I set all the numbers to 0, then it displays the full size image. There doesn't seem to be any inbetween. No of the other numbers seem to do anything.

Guest Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 whether u r using easypopulate or adding the products manually you will get the same thing. you need to add a thumbnailer contribution or have multiple size images (small and large) and use mopics, something like that.

blucollarguy Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I am posting because I am not sure if this issue was specific to me(maybe I am using the wrong version or something) or not. I realized that my Froogle feed was sending ALL my prod to froogle wether the product was actually active or not. Nothing was telling Froogle about the quantity or availability. Froogle has a field for telling them about your stock. It is set in EP as a default to 'Y' which is in stock. I needed to tell Froogle if the product was not in stock. So this is what I did: Find this: // Other froogle defaults go here for now $row['v_froogle_instock'] = 'Y'; And replace it with this: // Other froogle defaults go here for now $row['v_froogle_instock'] = 'Y'; // default is active if ($row['v_products_quantity'] == 0) { // if zero qty products, tell Froogle $row['v_froogle_instock'] = 'N'; } // $row['v_froogle_instock'] = 'Y'; Replaced this so Froogle does not // Think EVERY prod in the catalog is available, status setting was not being used Backup first as I cannot completely guarantee that this will work for everyone. You may not even need this, but I did. Hope it helps someone. Craig :) BTW If this issue is specific to me, then ignore me. Quote Happy Coding!
